A full, independent chassis also means the tank can be fully galvanised. The tank and chassis are each made from different types and grades of steel. Where the chassis is deliberately not galvanised to preserve its integral strength, the tank needs to be galvanised to maximise strength and integrity. Galvanised inside and out Galvanising is […]
While Councils often have systems in place to reduce flooding, these systems shouldn’t be relied upon. We often hear of farmers experiencing flooding from heavy rain, but it hasn’t been enough to trigger the council system to start running. Increasing weather events and budget restrictions mean councils are not always able to maintain or upgrade […]
So how do you determine what size slurry tanker would be ideal for your dairy farm? In most instances, bigger really is better. Don’t be too conservative. Go for a bigger tanker that fits within your requirements. When we’re asked to recommend a tanker size there’s four areas of the farming operation we look at… […]
While we can’t speak for all makes and models of slurry tanker, we can say Nevada’s range of slurry tankers are amazingly easy to pull, and we often get farmers tell us they’ll get the next size up when it’s time to upgrade. The general rule of thumb in pairing your tractor with a slurry […]
Fertigators are a New Zealand manufactured pod-type irrigator which can be connected to run multiple pods at once, depending on the size of your crop fields. Simply lay them out after seeding – approximately 50 metres apart, leave them there for the season, and fertilise when needed. Then just pick them up before harvesting or […]
On the lead up to winter many farmers aim to empty or lower their effluent storage levels in preparation for the wet dormant season where spreading isn’t an option. In doing this you’re also removing much of the bugs, or good bacteria that had accumulated in the effluent being stored. This is why one of […]
You may be wondering what the big deal is – can’t the guy that installed the cow shed set up our effluent system? Well, it’s possible your local ‘go-to’ will be ‘in-the-know’ of all the rules and regulations of effluent management, but if it’s not his/her specialty they may not have the skills and experience […]
At the heart of any well-designed effluent management system is the effluent pond/storage, and with tightening council rules and regulations we’re frequently getting asked to assess whether existing storage is “ok” to use. As accredited farm dairy effluent designers we’re always happy to help and advise on your situation, but if you’re wanting to do […]
Materials The materials your slurry tanker’s tank is made from are important but should also be viewed in combination with the overall design and construction. After all, there’s no point in having the best materials if they are poorly put together. Nevada’s tanks are made from quality European S235JR steel, a non-alloy structural steel made […]
Trailing Shoe/Dropper Booms A trailing shoe or dropper booms are one of the most popular options for effluent drag hose systems. Not only do they look cool, but there’s a variety of sizing options to accommodate different operations. We recommend Tramspread dribble bars which offer 6, 12 and 24 metre options, all of which offer […]
Wash Regularly Giving the outside of the slurry tanker a regular clean will help in noticing any issues like corrosion or leaks. These are the kind of issues that start off small but left unattended can turn into big problems. Nevada slurry tankers have a clear coating over the galvanisation, so cleaning is easy and […]
Expand your reach Slurry tankers and drag hose systems are rising in popularity for farmers wanting to cart their effluent over the entire farm. But the benefits reach further than that… Slurry tankers and drag hose systems fitted with low pressure applicators like a RainWaveTM have reduced volitisation and wind drift compared with most irrigators, […]
