Harry: The answer is no, you might get by with 50 gallons as CNKS suggests, but it will have to be a well designed hitch. If your talking 50 US gallons there is 400 lb. plus most any sprayers will weigh 200 lb. You get a total 600 lbs. back there and given the constant speeds you must maintain spraying, that is all you want.
I have a hitch on my 140, will lift 1,000 lbs., however one has to be careful with that much weight back there. One can not engage in too much practical activity. Most hitches on these little tractors will not lift more than 600 lbs. anyhow.
If it is an aftermarket factory hitch, 300-400 lbs. is likely the limit. Local fabricators can quite easily achive 600 lb. lift. I suspect the reason the aftermarket don't try to achive more lift is the liability they could incur if someone gets hurt using their hitch.
