A work vehicle comprising:
- a work vehicle body;
- at least one track assembly at least partially supporting the work vehicle body and having a track assembly upper profile;
- and
- at least one commodity tank configured to store material and comprising:
- an inboard portion extending vertically and configured to be positioned at an inboard location of the work vehicle, the inboard portion defining an inboard surface configured to be disposed between the work vehicle body and the at least one track assembly;
- and
- an outboard portion extending horizontally from an upper end of the inboard portion and configured to extend at least partially over the at least one track assembly, the outboard portion defining a lower surface configured to face the at least one track assembly and being spaced from above the at least one track assembly along the track assembly upper profile.
A commodity tank configured for mounting on a work vehicle and configured for storing material, the commodity tank comprising:
- an inboard portion extending vertically and configured to be positioned at an inboard location of the work vehicle, the inboard portion defining an inboard surface configured to be disposed between an operator station and a ground-engaging member of the work vehicle;
- and
- an outboard portion extending horizontally from an upper end of the inboard portion and configured to extend at least partially over the ground-engaging member of the work vehicle, the outboard portion defining a lower surface configured to face an endless track of the ground-engaging member and being spaced from above the ground-engaging member.
A commodity tank for storing material on an associated tracked work vehicle having a track assembly defining a track assembly upper profile, the commodity tank comprising:
- a lower surface configured to face an endless track of the track assembly of the associated tracked work vehicle and being spaced from above the endless track along the track assembly upper profile;
- an upper surface configured for mounting adjacent to an operator station of the associated tracked work vehicle;
- and
- an inboard surface configured to be disposed between the endless track and an exterior surface of the operator station of the associated tracked work vehicle.
