Also I was thinking that's thermoplastic so you could try to repair with a soldering iron or even just heat a piece of scrap metal and try to repair the crack. I just did a search on "rotomold tank repair" and a guy did this exact thing with a polyethylene plastic weld repair kit.
I'd recommend keeping everything and getting a rotomold tank from an AG supply. Many of those tanks are designed to use straps like what you have. I've seen some people don't put the bottom bolts in and just rely on the straps for the reasons you mentioned. I just bought a 45gal version that only has pawls to hold in it place. Who knows if it's an updated design because they still sell that 40gal version at TSC.
Thanks for the tips. I still have all the parts so I might just try a repair. I tried mounting one of the tanks without the bottom bolts and it didn’t stay put on the frame.
I bought this exact sprayer and my tank cranked, Tractor Supply gave me a replacement and I added some rubber under the tank. Knock on wood , so far it has lasted. IF it isn't used for Ag, why make it for 3 point hitch ? I also strap mine in the back of my Kioti side by side.
Fimco sent me at least two replacement tanks and I finally quit putting it on the tractor and it still split. I was so fed up with it, just done! Good to hear from you. Jason.
