Abstract: A frame for supporting a load, the frame including a quick mount/dismount hitch for a medium sized lawn and garden tractor. The hitch includes mounting brackets on one end of the frame, the mounting brackets including spaced apart sets of engagement members that matingly engage complimentary engagement members that are fixed on the rear of the tractor. The mating of the engagement and complimentary engagement members utilize the force of the weight of the frame and any load to seat the frame to the tractor. A lock down mechanism can optionally be used to secure the frame in place. The frame can support, for example, a spraying system including spray tank, spray boom, controls, and fluid conduits. The boom can optionally have double break away arms. A pump to provide spraying pressure can be mounted under the tractor and use the power of the engine of the tractor.

Abstract: A medium sized spraying system quickly and easily mountable on a small sized tractor having an auxiliary power take off at or near the front of the tractor. A fluid pump is mountable near the front power take off and utilizes the power of a front power take off to produce pumping action. Fluid conduits are directed to the rear of the tractor where a support framework is releasably connected to the rear of the tractor. The support frame holds a substantially sized fluid tank and a spraying boom.
