Easy-To-Mount Front Saddle Tank

Easy-To-Mount Front Saddle Tank SPRAYING Accessories 18-5-29 Mounting a conventional saddle tank on front of your tractor can be a time-consuming job. Agri-Products, Inc., York, Neb., has designed an "easy-to-mount" front saddle tank that hooks over the tractor weight brackets, eliminating the need to do a lot of bolting. You remove the weights and use the weight bracket as the main attachment for the tank. The six hooks that slip over the weight brackets are made from 3/4-in. thick steel plate. Side braces bolt to the tractor frame. Fits Deere 40, 50, 55, 60, and 7000 tractors as well as other models and is available in 200, 300, and 400-gal. capacities. A 300-gal. tank system sells for $1,100. Headlights (optional) sell for $130. The company also offers new "drive-over" side mount tanks that extend outward further from the tractor than other saddle tanks for better visibility and easier access to the cab. They're also easy to mount, thanks to use of jacks equipped with caster wheels and a 5 by 7-in. steel drive-over support bar. Mounting time is less than 20 minutes. Designed for Case-IH Magnum tractors and Deere 40, 50, 55, 60, and 7000 series tractors, as well as other models. Available in 200, 260, and 300-gal. capacities. A set of 300-gal. tanks sells for $2,125 to $2,625 depending on tractor model. High-clearance models also available.
