"Bazooka" Liquid Fertilizer Tanks
“My new Bazooka liquid fertilizer dual tanks look sleek and are tucked in nicely with your tractor, without interfering with anything. They leave plenty of room around the engine for service and maintenance without compromising ground clearance,” says Brian Janzen, Janzen Fabricating & Repair, LLC, Mountain Lake, Minn.
  The stainless steel tanks are designed for all Deere first generation RT tractors. “They’re cone-shaped on front and have a round design that eliminates most, if not all, potential areas for stress cracks to develop,” says Janzen.
  A full length stainless steel agitation tube is located inside each tank and ties into a pressure pump that mounts on the tractor. There’s an 8-in. inspection lid on top and sight gauges on back of each tank.
  “These tanks are geared more for applying starter fertilizer while planting. They’re a little too small to use for spraying, but you could use them for that if you wanted,” says Janzen. “The problem with larger tanks is that it’s difficult to make oil changes or do other routine service work. With my Bazooka tanks, the tractor’s ladder and radar remain in the factory location on factory mounts. ”
  Janzen says he plans to also offer the tanks for Deere 8000 series and the new Deere RT models, and eventually Cat tractors.
