Glossary of Terms
Sprayer Terms
We have a variety of terms associated with our Predator, Spider, or Spider Classic.
High-Clearance Sprayer
A machine with elevated ground clearance for navigating tall crops, used for precise application of chemicals like herbicides.
Predator Sprayer
A LeeAgra high-clearance sprayer for crop research, with customizable tanks and booms for precise chemical delivery.
Articulating Steering
The bending point where the two frames come together allows for the back wheels and front wheels to turn simultaneously. This makes steering easier and allows for sharper turns in and out of rows.
Hydrostatic Drive
"Hydrostatic drives can be defined as devices for the transmission of energy by means of a pressurized fluid, thus differing from hydrokinetic drives which utilize the kinetic energy of the fluid. In hydrostatic drives, there is a transfer of fluid from the pump, which converts mechanical energy to hydraulic energy, to the motor, which converts the hydraulic energy to mechanical output. The kinetic energy changes in the fluid involved in this process are very low compared with the pressure energy changes and can usually be disregarded. The hydrodynamic effects of the fluid flow result in loss of pressure, so that hydrostatic drive circuits should be designed to give low-pressure loss, consistent with the overall economic operation of the system."

Oscillating Chassis
The oscillation of the frame allows the tractor to travel over rugged terrain and maintain better balance on slopes. This also helps take tension off of the frame whereas a rigid solid frame would take the brunt of the motion.
Tier-4 Final Engine
"Tier 4 compliant engines significantly reduce emissions of particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) to near-zero levels. Relative to previous emissions standards, Tier 4 compliant engines reduce emissions by over 95 percent for most agricultural and construction equipment and just over 86 percent for much larger applications like locomotives and marine vessels."
Articulating Frame
A tractor chassis design with two frame sections joined at a pivot point, enabling simultaneous turning of front and back wheels for sharper turns in crop rows.
Boom Control
A sprayer system regulating spray application, available in configurations like three-section or automatic rate, adjusting based on speed or flow for precision.
Hydraulic Fold
A spray boom feature using hydraulic power to fold for compact storage or legal transport widths, common in LeeAgra sprayers.
Nozzle Body
A sprayer component (highlighted in shop sprayer parts) that holds and directs spray nozzles, allowing precise chemical application and easy replacement.
Paralleling Arm
A tractor lift mechanism keeps attachments aligned during raising or lowering and is used for spray booms or other implements.
Variable-Rate-Application
A machine with elevated ground clearance for navigating tall crops, used for precise application of chemicals like herbicides.
Trailer Terms
These are terms associated with LEE Diesel Fuel Trailers.
G.V.W.R.
This is the maximum weight your vehicle can haul after curb weight, weight of passengers, fuel, and any accessories or cargo added to the vehicle.

R.O.P.S.
Rollover Protective Structure
A rollover protective structure (ROPS) fits on an agricultural tractor and protects the operator in the event of a rollover.
Baffle System
Internal tank partitions in fuel trailers that reduce liquid movement during transport, improving vehicle stability and tank durability.
Centerline Tank
A fuel tank design (seen in shop products) positioned along a trailer’s central axis to optimize weight distribution and towing stability.
Wet Kit
A hydraulic system (noted in shop fuel trailers) powering auxiliary equipment, such as pumps or booms, on agricultural vehicles.
Quick Hitch Terms
These are terms associated with LEE BOSS three-point quick hitches.
Three-Point Hitch System
The three-point hitch system is a standardized method of attaching implements to tractors. The three-point hitch uses two lower connection points and one upper point which provides a rigid connection.Hydraulic cylinders operate on the lower arms to raise and lower the implement.
LoadSABER
Card information.
Diesel Tank Terms
These are terms associated with LEE diesel fuel tanks.
Hose Reel
A retractable container for a 25ft hose or 50ft hose.
Hose tray
Allows easy transportation for shorter hoses as seen in the above image.
