Abstract
A vehicle for carrying cotton from a mechanical picker to a cotton trailer, and for tamping the cotton down while in the bed of the trailer, is disclosed. The vehicle is constructed with a U-shaped base and has one open end for straddling the cotton trailer. A bottom-dumping basket which can be raised to clear the sides of the trailer, emptied into the trailer, and then lowered into the bed to tamp the cotton down, is mounted in the center of the vehicle.
