and a drop apparatus comprising a linkage assembly with a top portion coupled to the boom (130, 132, 134) and a bottom portion coupled to the spray device, the linkage assembly being selectively repositionable between a retracted position and an extended position to raise and lower the spray device relative to the boom (130, 132, 134) along an upright reference axis, and wherein the drop apparatus further comprises a top bracket coupling the top portion of the linkage assembly to the boom (130, 132, 134); and an actuation device at least partially housed within the top bracket, the actuation device coupled to the linkage assembly and configured to selectively reposition the linkage assembly between the retracted position and the extended position, wherein the linkage assembly is a scissor linkage assembly, and wherein the linkage assembly comprises a plurality of scissor link pairs (320, 330, 350, 360, 380, 390), each of the scissor link pairs (320, 330, 350, 360, 380, 390) formed by first and second scissor links (322, 324, 332, 334, 352, 354, 362, 364, 382, 384, 392, 394) having top and bottom ends (322a, 322b, 324a, 324b) and interconnected to one another at intermediate points between the top and bottom ends (322a, 322b, 324a, 324b), and wherein the plurality of scissor link pairs (320, 330, 350, 360, 380, 390) include a first scissor link pair (320, 330) in which the top end (322a, 332a) of the first scissor link (322, 332) is fixed to the top bracket and the top end (324a, 334a) of the second scissor link (324, 334) is coupled to the actuation device, and wherein the actuation device is configured to drive the top end (324a, 334a) of the second scissor link (324, 334) of the first scissor link pair towards the top end (322a, 332a) of the first scissor link (322, 332) of the first scissor link pair to reposition the linkage assembly into the extended position and to drive the top end (324a, 334a) of the second scissor link (324, 334) of the first scissor link pair away from the top end (322a, 332a) of the first scissor link (322, 332) of the first scissor link pair to reposition the linkage assembly into the retracted position, characterized in that the actuation device is a linear actuator comprising an actuator housing and a piston rod with a first end movably arranged within the actuator housing and a second end coupled to the top end of the second scissor link such that air pressure on the first end of the piston rod actuates the piston rod to drive the linkage assembly. a spray device configured to selectively apply a fluid from the fluid source on the work vehicle to an agricultural crop; and a drop apparatus comprising a linkage assembly with a top portion coupled to the boom (130, 132, 134) and a bottom portion coupled to the spray device, the linkage assembly being selectively repositionable between a retracted position and an extended position to raise and lower the spray device relative to the boom (130, 132, 134) along an upright reference axis, and wherein the drop apparatus further comprises a top bracket coupling the top portion of the linkage assembly to the boom (130, 132, 134); and an actuation device at least partially housed within the top bracket, the actuation device coupled to the linkage assembly and configured to selectively reposition the linkage assembly between the retracted position and the extended position, wherein the linkage assembly is a scissor linkage assembly, and wherein the linkage assembly comprises a plurality of scissor link pairs (320, 330, 350, 360, 380, 390), each of the scissor link pairs (320, 330, 350, 360, 380, 390) formed by first and second scissor links (322, 324, 332, 334, 352, 354, 362, 364, 382, 384, 392, 394) having top and bottom ends (322a, 322b, 324a, 324b) and interconnected to one another at intermediate points between the top and bottom ends (322a, 322b, 324a, 324b), and wherein the plurality of scissor link pairs (320, 330, 350, 360, 380, 390) include a first scissor link pair (320, 330) in which the top end (322a, 332a) of the first scissor link (322, 332) is fixed to the top bracket and the top end (324a, 334a) of the second scissor link (324, 334) is coupled to the actuation device, and wherein the actuation device is configured to drive the top end (324a, 334a) of the second scissor link (324, 334) of the first scissor link pair towards the top end (322a, 332a) of the first scissor link (322, 332) of the first scissor link pair to reposition the linkage assembly into the extended position and to drive the top end (324a, 334a) of the second scissor link (324, 334) of the first scissor link pair away from the top end (322a, 332a) of the first scissor link (322, 332) of the first scissor link pair to reposition the linkage assembly into the retracted position, characterized in that the actuation device is a linear actuator comprising an actuator housing and a piston rod with a first end movably arranged within the actuator housing and a second end coupled to the top end of the second scissor link such that air pressure on the first end of the piston rod actuates the piston rod to drive the linkage assembly.
