ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for mounting a spray tank or other container upon a four-wheel drive tractor having a three-point lifting hitch at the rear. The apparatus includes an upright frame adapted for attachment to said hitch when lowered and a horizontal second frame pivotally supported proximate one end by a pivot structure to the upper end of the upright frame for rotation about an upright pivot axis. The second frame supports the tank with its center of gravity spaced from the pivot axis so that the center of gravity may be relocated with respect to the hitch, when raised, upon rotation of the horizontal frame about the pivot axis. Hence, the tank center of gravity may be relocated forward of the hitch for vastly improved weight distribution.
