Aggregate hauling, spreading and compacting machine

A device for spreading spreadable material from a vehicle, wherein said vehicle has a bin for holding said spreadable material and said bin has a lower aperture therein for gravity feeding therethrough of said spreadable material, and wherein said vehicle has a longitudinal axis corresponding to a direction of forward motion of said vehicle, said device comprising:

• when said device is mounted to said vehicle, delivery means co-operating with said lower aperture for unloading, delivery and dispensing said spreadable material from a lateral side of said vehicle at a first lateral distance selectively spaced laterally outwardly of said vehicle,
• a selectively inclinable blade, selectively laterally translatable a second lateral distance corresponding to said first lateral distance, said selectively inclinable blade selectively laterally translatable on mounting and translation means mountable to said vehicle, said blade mountable generally perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, said mounting and translation means when mounted to said vehicle for selectively laterally outwardly translating said blade outward of said lateral side, selective inclination means for selectively inclining said blade relative to a ground surface adjacent said vehicle, elevating and lowering means co-operating with said mounting and translation means for elevating and lowering said selectively inclinable blade into proximity to, at a generally constant elevation above, said ground surface in response to lateral translation of said inclinable blade while said inclinable blade is inclined from horizontal when said vehicle is translating in said direction of forward motion,
• wherein said selectively inclinable blade has pivotally mounted at an end thereof a second blade member selectively pivotable about a generally vertical axis of rotation between an end cap position generally perpendicular to said selectively inclinable blade so as to extend forwardly of said selectively inclinable blade in said direction of forward motion, and pivotable from said end cap position to a slope trimmer position generally co-planar with said blade.
