Abstract
Grain stirring apparatus includes a traversing mechanism for supporting upper end portions of one or more stirrers and effecting back and forth movements thereof in two transversely related horizontal directions, the stirrer or stirrers being pivotal about a horizontal tilt axis parallel to one of such directions. Switches are connected in series and are arranged to deactivate the traversing mechanism when the tilt angle of a stirrer exceeds a certain threshold value.
