If you’re like many farmers, you have looked into what you need to do for fall for months now. While the use for fertilizer trucks is long gone for most applications, agricultural tanks are still a viable option for fall. What else does the agricultural tank do? Agricultural tanks are versatile pieces of machinery used in many applications.
Fertilizers and Pesticides
Right now is an excellent time to look ahead to the future. One of the most common uses for the agricultural tank truck is the fertilizer spreader and the pesticide sprayer. This is a convenient way of doing both of these things.
Have you ever been just a few weeks from planting season and realized you have a problem? Something is broken or has a missing piece, and now you’re on a time crunch that costs you money. After harvest, look over your machinery, see if you need repairs, and prepare it to sit. However, it’s also an excellent time to start on custom agricultural tanks for next year. Stop dealing with that piece of equipment that gives you trouble each year.
Dust Control
Dust control is one-way agricultural tanks are used in the fall months. We all know how dusty it gets during harvest, especially with crops like corn and wheat. Consider that any livestock receives the full brunt if they are outdoors. To control this dust, especially on hot days, it is a great option to have agricultural tanks. These are used as a sprayer (of water) on the dry earth to keep the dust down.
Why does dust matter for cattle? It can cause problems with their respiratory systems, vision, and health. Imagine standing outside all day, breathing in all the dust from the harvest. An agricultural tank with a sprayer attachment is an excellent addition to your outfit.

Transferring Materials
Not only are agricultural tanks great for transferring materials, like fertilizer and pesticides, to your operation, but they are also great for transferring things away from them. Vacuum trucks are helpful in this area as they suction dangerous materials and move them out. However, they are also useful for transferring water from one location to another. This is also especially helpful with cattle or irrigation.
If you don’t have an irrigation system on your farm, don’t worry! It’s nice to have a system to transfer water from place to place and get it to your crops. The agricultural tank truck is also perfect for this use, and the Fusion vacuum truck is a specialized version.
