Abstract
A gravity flow grain tank includes enclosed chamber mounted on a hay processor, for holding grain to be dispensed. The chamber includes a rearwardly and downwardly sloped bottom, so that gravity causes the grain to flow into an auger at the lower end of the chamber. The auger extends outwardly from the chamber, to dispense grain on to processed hay.
