A portable material delivery apparatus for transporting and depositing a flowable material at a deposit site, including a vehicle and a hopper mounted on the vehicle for holding the material and having a lower opening for releasing the material. First and second circulating conveyors move the material released from the hopper to the deposit site. The first conveyor is fixed beneath the hopper. The second conveyor is vertically tiltable and laterally rotatable relative to the first conveyor. The apparatus includes a control station with an operator platform and controls for controlling the conveyors. The control station is mounted to and is movable with the second conveyor as it tilts and rotates. The control station is positioned such that a single operator standing on the operator platform can operate the controls while directly observing the material moving on the second conveyor and being ejected toward the deposit site.
