A 150 gallon black saddle tank for a tractor or sprayer frame, fittings included
The Norwesco 150 gallon saddle applicator tank in black with fittings, part number 45673, is a polyethylene tank 58 inches long, 30 inches wide and 33 inches tall, weighing 50 lb empty. A saddle tank is shaped to sit against a frame rail or across a tractor's side mounts, so a pair of them carries fertilizer or spray mix alongside the machine instead of behind it. This one has a 1.25 inch outlet and an 8 inch lid, and comes with fittings. It is rated for liquids up to 1.5 specific gravity, which Norwesco states as 12.52 lb per gallon; 150 gallons of water weighs 1251 lb. The resin is FDA compliant per Norwesco and the service limit is 120 F. Black keeps light out of the contents, which slows algae in water and protects light sensitive chemistry.

Where it goes and what goes in it
Saddle tanks ride on the tractor for side dress and starter fertilizer, on a sprayer frame as rinse or chemical tanks, and on a truck bed where a low, long tank fits better than a tall one. Buyers usually run them in pairs, one each side, to keep the machine balanced; 150 gallons of water a side is 1251 lb, and fertilizer is heavier, so check the mount and the axle rating against a full pair. Before any liquid goes in, check it in our chemical compatibility guide; the entries for urea solution, calcium chloride, DEF, phosphoric acid and sodium hypochlorite are the ones applicator tank buyers ask about most. Liquids heavier than 1.5 times water belong in a heavy duty tank, not this one. Our guide to Norwesco applicator and leg tanks for fertilizer and the DOT non-roadable trailer rules covers how an applicator tank is classified on the road, and the farm fleet agricultural exemption guide covers the farm case.
Openings, fittings and mounting
- Outlet. 1.25 inch. Size the valve, the hose and the pump inlet to it, or step down at the valve rather than at the tank.
- Lid. An 8 inch lid on top, wide enough to fill from a hose and to get a hand inside for a rinse.
- Fittings. This part number ships with fittings. Tell us what you are connecting to and we will confirm what is in the box before the order goes out, so the tank is plumbed the day it lands.
- Mounting. No brackets or straps come with the tank. Mount it so the saddle face bears evenly on the frame, strap it through the moulded recesses rather than over the lid, and keep the strap tension even on both tanks of a pair. Norwesco's drawing for this tank, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, gives the saddle profile and the outlet position for making or buying the brackets.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships LTL from Norwesco's Griffin, Georgia plant, 58 by 30 by 33 inches on the truck at 50 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. If you are buying a pair, put both on one order so they travel together. At the tailgate, check 45673 on the bill of lading against the moulded number, count the fittings, and look over the saddle face for transit damage before you sign. Fill it with water the first time before it carries anything else.
