The device (FIG. 2; a front view) comprises an upright frame 2 outfitted with linkages for connection to the tractor and the spreader and a hydraulic system 20 for adjusting the elevation of the spreader on the mounting device for mid-season spreading of fertilizer. The construction is such that an open area 6 is provided to accommodate pivoting of a drive shaft 8 extending from the power take-off of the tractor to the spreader when the spreader is elevated.
