  • Patent number: 4211175
    Abstract: An agricultural implement has an elongated frame extending transverse to the direction of travel with soil penetrating tools and liquid spraying booms mounted on the frame. A pair of liquid tanks are carried by respective supports in front of the frame, one at either side of a central coupling on the front beam that is connectable to the lifting hitch of a prime mover. The supports extend upwardly and forwardly so that the tanks are located adjacent the outer sides of the rear wheels of the prime mover connected to the coupling. With this arrangement, the tanks compact the weight of the implement and help balance the load when the implement is raised by the lifting hitch. Each tank communicates with a spraying boom so that herbicides, fertilizers and the like can be dispensed.
