Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus preferably coupled to a boom on a truck which can simultaneously trim and chemically treat trees or other vegetation with a herbicide. The apparatus, in addition to have a standard saw blade assembly with limb clamping jaws, includes a sprayer assembly. The sprayer assembly includes nozzles which administer herbicides or other chemical treatments adjacent to the saw blades, allowing herbicide to be precisely administered to the tree limbs as they are cut.
Abstract: A spare tire storage apparatus which pivots about a pivot point near the bumper of a vehicle and simultaneously pivots up or down between ground level and frame level on the vehicle. Vertical pivoting is accomplished by a cam roller following a cam surface as horizontal pivoting occurs. The spare tire is latched in the storage position by having a roller roll up a pivotable ramp, passing the ramp pivot point, causing the ramp to pivot upwardly, trapping the roller.
