That tank on that planter is NOT for fertilizer and it is NOT stainless steel, it is aluminm and is for banding a preemerge weed killer in about a 10-14" band over the row, I did not see any fertilizer boxes but the dry fertilizer for the later 494A planters hold 450# each and the seed boxes hold over a bushel of seed each and you put those seed box extensions on and you are overloading the planter. Now the earlier ones had the same boxes as the 494 with fertilizer being 350# and those extensions making the seed boxes the same size as the later ones without.
