[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1365510, member: 18945"] I built a spray unit several years ago, using a 5'x8' single axle trailer, and a 330 gal tote tank and pto driven pump. Works great, but now, the sun's UV has made the top of the tank pretty brittle, it's a pita to climb up on the trailer to reach the fill and mix chemical, and I want to replace it with a lower profile cylinder shaped 250 gal tank. Not mine (Bigfoot's) but this is the kind of tank I am using now, tho at 330 gals, mine is a bit taller: [img]http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q756/Hoss789/null_zpsa7ce0c1e.jpg[/img] The problem I see happening, is I pull it using one of these on the 3point: [img]http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/attachments/13087d1054606049-my-new-3-point-receiver-274286-p5060005-jpg[/img] I use that because connecting the trailer hitch to the drawbar coming out the bottom of the differential would interfere with my pto driven roller pump. So, my question is: I don't have any problem going up and down inclines with that tote tank setup behind my 3600 Ford, since it is small 'footprint' and sits right over the axle, but if I use a long narrow tank, what will happen if I am going up a steep incline and the fluid all runs to the back? Is it a problem--does the weight transfer to the rear of the unit raise the tractor's lift arms up? [/QUOTE]
