• a steering mechanism connected to the set of caster wheels;
• wherein the steering mechanism is at one end of the cart and an unprocessed manure discharge end is at an opposite end of the cart;
• a second conveyor belt positioned beneath an opening in a bottom of the bin for discharging unprocessed manure from the bin for external disposal;
• wherein the articulated frame is configured to slide and pivot to allow the first conveyor belt system to be extended, retracted, and swung into different configurations;
• and
• wherein the different configurations include a manure pickup configuration wherein the first conveyor belt is positioned to collect manure from a barn floor, a manure disposal configuration wherein the first conveyor belt is positioned to receive manure from the second conveyor belt at the discharge end of the cart, a centrally located storage configuration, and a side storage configuration.
