  • Patent number: 4168802
    Abstract: A vehicle for travel along rice field levees and the like to spray chemicals upon such levees so as to control the growth of unwanted vegetation thereon. The vehicle includes a frame member having first and second sides. A pair of wheels are pivotally mounted to each side of the frame through elongated arm members in such a manner so as to hold the frame high above the supporting surface of the vehicle. The wheels mounted on each side of the frame are simultaneously driven by a motor separately from the wheels mounted on the other side of the frame in such a manner that the vehicle may be steered by individually controlling the rotation of the wheels on either side of the vehicle to thereby allow "skid steer" type steering of the vehicle.
