Built Low Profile Tank To Mount On Hiller Ridger
 ✖  |
I like to apply liquid fertilzer to my com. when I plant it, cultivate it, and hill it. The saddle tanks on my tractor were too low to leave on when hilling the rows, so I built this low-profile tank to mount on my hiller-ridger. I made the tank out of a 16-in. dia. fiberglass pipe that was manufactured right here in Minden, Neb. The tank holds 200 gal. and has a 6-in. drop from the fill end to a squeeze pump. Fertilizer is dribbled on the ground in front of the sweeps where it is pushed to the base of the plant. It has worked out very well - the extra weight posed no problem for the hiller.
