Mounting sprayer on C

I have a 60 gallon skid sprayer that I want to mount on the back of my C, but I know the weight of the spray tank and skid could be around 680 - 700lbs fully loaded. I'm concerned about pulling up (wheelie)the narrow front and steering problems because of the weight distribution. I have considered weights on the front but that might cause steering problems as well. So, I need help on any ideas how to mount the sprayer on the back end so that the weight distribution will be more under the rear end or at a "neutral" point?? I do not have a 3 point only a hydrualic lift for the cultivator.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I used to have a 55 gallon sprayer mounted on the 3-point of a TO-30 Ferguson. The front end was a little light, but not dangerous. The WC is heavier than a TO-30. I used to see sprayers with 2 55 gallon barrels mounted on the back of A John Deeres. 60 gallons of water is 480 lbs, you must have an awfully heavy skid to bring it much over 600 lbs. I'd attach it to the back and not worry.

I have a C and figure thatits much lighter than its bigger "W" brothers. The skid is heavy. Two people to load it in my truck..at least 150 lbs maybe 200. I may consider a few weights up front just in case....so I think I will mount it on the back.

Thanks,

Ron

I think a couple of 30 gallon saddle tanks would make a cute setup! Seriously, how about 1-2 crazy wheels behind the tank, with the front mount resting on the drawbar?

Hmmm saddle tanks...yeah that would be interesting, but I'm stuck with the one 60 gal tank on a skid. hows about up on the hood?...or skid mounted in the front?
Pardon my ignorance but what are crazy wheels? Your idea sounds like an option. I would like to get the tank up 18 to 24 inches off the ground so maybe I should consider an axle and two trailing tires in the back....and as you say make hitch to the drawbar...I wouldn't have to remove my cultivator for that. I have some extra wide 16" ford truck wheels and tires, I guess I would just need to get two hubs that would fit and a short axle.

Crazy wheels are pivoting wheels that trail behind, follow you around turns, etc. Rear wheels of self-propelled swathers, lift assist wheels on large mounted planters, etc. You could mount two hinge points on your drawbar, so the tank frame can pivot up and down, then mount 1-2 crazy wheels behind to support the rear of the frame.

We had tanks mounted just above the fenders on a John Deere 2020 years ago. They bolted to the axle and rode just above the fenders. They didn't affect steering or cause weight distribution problems but they did prohibit you from seeing out either side.
