I've had 2 Melroe coupes; a 120 way back when and a 220 later; both tricycle. Mine had the Volkswagen opposed (4) cyclinder gasoline engine. The BIG farmers around here have gone to larger 4-wheel drive types, but for smaller acreages (I typically had about 1000 A. rowcrop), they work great. To contradict Gary, you can turn the volumn up to spray as many GPA as you need, but they do have only a 200 gallon tank. I usually sprayed 13-15 GPA. You'll have to have a nurse tank, unless all your fields are right at the shop/water source. The 120 used truck tires and traction was a problem; the 220 had small tractor-type and I could spray pretty much where I wanted.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
