Abstract
A dispensing attachment for loaders includes a dispenser preferably made of metal and having a wall member for covering the loader and an arcuate end wall integrally connected to the wall member and having dispensing spouts. The dispenser is pivotally attached to a support which is detachably attached to the side walls of the loader. A hydraulic ram 40 is used to pivot the dispenser relative to the loader in a clam-like fashion such that the dispenser can be moved into engagement with the loader to essentially form a hopper or can be moved out of engagement with the loader so that the loader can be used to scoop up flowable material. An auger is journaled to the dispenser and driven by a hydraulic motor to feed the dispensing spouts with the flowable material such as sand. The dispensing attachment allows the user to use the load to scoop up the flowable material, engage the dispenser to the loader, and dispense the flowable material through the dispensing spouts.
