10. A mobile material processing plant comprising:
a chassis,
a crusher, having an input, disposed on the chassis;
a screen disposed on the chassis;
a conveyor receiving material from said screen and elevating it to a position above the input to said crusher;
a dual positionable chute disposed between said conveyor and said input to said crusher;
said dual positionable chute is not configured with predetermined apertures therein to allow passage of material there through that is smaller than said predetermined apertures,
wherein said material processing plant utilizes only gravity and hinging of said dual positionable chute to move material exiting said conveyor to the input of said crusher; and
said dual positionable chute being configured, to pivot about an axis so that material falling from said position is directed in different directions depending upon a hydraulic pressure in an actuator which has a linear dimension which changes depending upon hydraulic pressure.
