The present disclosure includes a mobile liquid dispensing system adaptable to be implemented on an arm-bed truck. The disclosure includes an apparatus comprising a spray rig capable of engaging arms of an arm-bed truck, and a carrier operable to be hoisted by an arm-bed truck. A method of mobile liquid dispersion is also presented that be performed from an arm-bed truck. The disclosure offers many advantages in the art, including novel uses of an arm-bed truck and a spray rig that is resistant to damage from impacts.

A multi-tank system for delivering product to a spray section includes a first tank, a second tank, and a first pump. A plurality of valves includes a first sump valve, a second sump valve, an equalizing valve, and an agitation valve. A first end of the first sump valve is in fluid communication with the first tank, a second end of the first sump valve is in fluid communication with (i) a first end of the equalizing valve and (ii) an inlet of the first pump. The plurality of fluid lines includes a first fluid line and a second fluid line. A third fluid line is fluidly coupled at one end downstream of the first pump and at another end to the first sump valve or the first end of the equalizing valve.

An agricultural crop sprayer includes a product tank for holding a solution of plant protection product, a product dispense system, and a rinse tank for holding a rinse fluid. A plumbing network fluidly connects the product tank, the product dispense system, and the rinse tank. A heat source is provided to heat the rinse fluid. The heat source may be a prime mover or a hydraulic pump, wherein waste heat is scavenged therefrom.

An agricultural sprayer includes a purge tank and first and second nozzles. Furthermore, the system includes a first valve fluidly configured to selectively permit air to flow to the first nozzle and a second valve fluidly configured to selectively permit the air to flow to the second nozzle. A computing system is configured to receive an input indicative of initiation of a purging operation and, upon receipt of the input, control an operation of a main valve to allow the air to flow through a main fluid conduit. Furthermore, the computing system is configured to monitor the air pressure associated with the purge tank and control the operation of the first and second valves during the purging operation based on the monitored air pressure.

In one aspect, a liquid tank assembly is provided and configured to be mounted to a tractor. The liquid tank assembly includes a first tank configured to contain liquid, a second tank configured to contain liquid, a first support frame coupled to and supporting the first tank, and the first support frame includes a first mounting member configured to mount the first support frame to the tractor. The liquid tank assembly also includes a second support frame coupled to and supporting the second tank. The second support frame includes a second mounting member configured to mount the second support frame to the tractor, and the first support frame is coupled to the second support frame. In one aspect, a liquid tank assembly is provided and configured to be mounted to a tractor having a maximum width. A tank assembly width is no greater than a maximum width of the tractor.

A cleaning system for an agricultural sprayer may include a sprayer boom, a plurality of nozzle assemblies provided in association with the sprayer boom and configured to dispense an agricultural product during a spraying operation of the agricultural sprayer, a first cleaning fluid tank configured to hold a first cleaning fluid, and a nozzle assembly fluid circuit fluidly coupling the plurality of nozzle assemblies and the first cleaning fluid tank. Moreover, the cleaning system may include a cleaning station supported on the sprayer boom, the cleaning station comprising a first valve. Additionally, the cleaning system may include a first cleaning fluid circuit fluidly coupling the first valve and the first cleaning fluid tank. The first valve is configured to supply the first cleaning fluid therethrough when the first valve is in an open position.

Some embodiments may include a multi-product management system including a modular container for re-supplying partially or fully automated agricultural operations. The modular container may include a liquid-holding portion, a granular solid-holding portion, and, optionally, an add-on portion. In some embodiments, the liquid-holding portion may be formed of a plurality of liquid-holding portions. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

A tank for transporting and spraying a liquid having a plurality of walls forming a receptacle configured to receive the liquid and a pump system supported by at least one of the plurality of walls. The pump system has a liquid end and a power frame with at least a portion of the power frame being disposed in the receptacle. In some implementations, the tank has a reservoir disposed in proximity to one of the plurality of walls. The reservoir provides a working fluid to the portion of the power frame disposed in the receptacle.

A rinse tank for use with an agricultural machine that has a routing tunnel formed in a tank bottom wall for routing hoses through the routing tunnel between the rinse tank and a frame side-rail associated with the agricultural machine. The routing tunnel allows hoses to be routed from a first end of the agricultural machine to a second end of the agricultural machine. Additionally, brackets can be installed to the top wall of the frame side-rail. The brackets can be used to help locate the rinse tank about the frame as they are configured to fit within the routing tunnel. Additionally, the hoses can be routed through the brackets to prevent the hoses from being misplaced or damaged once the rinse tank is installed onto the frame side-rail.

The present invention generally relates to methods of cleaning residual pesticide from an agricultural vessel, and to kits and compositions useful for the practice of such methods.
