ABSTRACT:
An agricultural vehicle is convertible to a first mode for broadcasting liquid agricultural material and to a second mode for broadcasting dry agricultural material. The vehicle includes a single main tank which is used in the first mode to transport liquid and in the second mode to transport dry material. The tank converges to an apex at the base and an auger is positioned within the tank extending upwardly from the apex to emerge from the tank at the top of the front wall. When filled with liquid, the auger is plugged at its discharge end allowing the auger tube to be filled with the liquid. When working in the second mode, the plug is opened and the auger extracts the dry material from the main tank and deposits it onto a pair of conveyor chains each forming a curtain of material which divides into separate receptacles for transportation to separate material supply tubes of a pair of booms extending outward to each side of the vehicle. Each boom also carries the liquid supply duct to which spray nozzles are attached. Supplementary tanks are provided for dry material on either side of the distribution system whose metering role is for adding the dry material to the supply tubes of the booms. Additional liquid tank forms a rear part of the tank structure for supplementing the dry material in the dry mode.
