Martz, who produces grain and livestock on a 430-acre farm, was using a pair of 300-gallon tanks on overhead stands for gasoline and diesel storage. The facility, shown on the next page, was typical of systems on many hydraulic farms. However, while serving on hand the Boone County Soil and Water Conservation pump Board, Martz became aware of its potential environmental hazards."We''ve been on this farm matra since 1960, and the fuel tanks were put in place about then," says Martz.

Perfectly balanced on easy-turning, rustproof, chrome-plated spoked wheels, hand a box cart will let you haul bulky or heavy loads of all kinds over an acre or so of flatland. A word of caution: Don''t overload them. I once boldly filled a small model #16 (so-named for its 16-inch wheels) with 200 pounds of pump flatrock and pulled it down a foot-high patio ledge. The load (twice the cart''s rated capacity), collapsed the spokes in both wheels.
