[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1365528, member: 18945"] Yes, the PTO shaft is above the rawbar, but close enough that under the right circumstances, the tongue of the trailer can get into the pump plumbing & fittings, especially on a turn and uneven ground. I have several steep sided draws I have to go thru. And yes, those lift arms do take a lot of stress with a full tank of solution. I use sway bars as well as the chains to minimize that effect when I'm pulling the sprayer. The other reason I use the lift arms is to keep the tongue and front of the trailer up off the ground--I have a lot of stumps, and I didn't really want to extend the tongue length out or put a dogleg offset in the tongue. Never could find a trailer jack that would allow me to lower the tongue down low enough to get it hooked up to the drawbar either--I can't pick it up empty, and using the lift allows me to really easily hook on to the trailer without getting off the tractor. Will the fluid go to the back of the tank and cause problems? [/QUOTE]
