What do you with the linkage Arms when the sprayer is towed on the hitch.
Leave them up and you will foul the pto shaft at some point
Leave them down and you can drag a bit of crop.

Remove the pins (number 19 below) from the lift arm and with longer drawbar pins & balls, attach them to the hook ends which pulls them right up. Obviously shorten the turnbuckles as much as possible. I used to do this with big square balers for the same reason as you. Takes about 2 minutes per arm to do.
