Abstract: An agricultural machine for use in dispensing liquid products through a pump driven sprayer is equipped with a hydraulic pump drive system including a rotary flow divider to intensify pumping pressures driving the sprayer pump while preventing unnecessary fluid flow bypassing operations.
Abstract: A check valve assembly regulating the fluid flow between the fluid reservoir and filter cartridge chamber is actuated by a valve actuating member movable through and controllable exteriorly of a filter system housing without compromising the housing leak integrity. The actuating member may perform another function of a drain plug for the filter chamber, so that upon removal of the member the check valve assembly will be closed and the chamber fluid drained through a drain plug opening without loss of the reservoir fluid.
