An agricultural vehicle includes a chassis, wheels supporting the chassis for moving the vehicle, an application boom coupled to the chassis and configured to deliver agricultural product to an agricultural field. The application boom has a boom arm including a longitudinal mount. In embodiments, the longitudinal mount includes a first projection, a second multi-lip projection, and a third projection. The second multi-lip projection has a first lip and a second lip. The agricultural vehicle further includes a first mounted attachment fastened to the first projection and the first lip of the second projection, and a second mounted attachment fastened to the second lip of the second projection and the third projection.

A field incinerator has a carriage with a frame. A fuel tank such as a propane tank is mounted to the frame. An outlet passage extends from the tank. An outlet valve is mounted to the outlet passage. The outlet valve controls the outlet passage. The first gauge has a first gauge tap. The first gauge tap is connected to the fuel tank or the outlet passage. The first gauge has a first gauge control parameter. The first gauge control parameter requires less than a first set pressure for activation. The second gauge is connected to the outlet passage downstream from the first gauge. The second gauge has a second gauge control parameter. The second gauge control parameter requires more than a set second pressure for activation. The first gauge control parameter and the second gauge control parameter must both be fulfilled for opening the outlet valve.
