associated with the hopper, is constructed and arranged to dispense aggregate material
from the hopper to the ground. Wheel structure 30, carried by the body,
is constructed and arranged to be movable between an inoperative position, wherein
the motive structure is in a ground engaging position and the wheel structure is
in a position so as not to engage the ground, and an operative position, wherein
the wheel structure is in a ground engaging position and the motive structure is
in a position so as not to engage the ground. A hitch structure 32, carried
by the body, is constructed and arranged to be coupled to a vehicle so that the
