How Many Loads Can a Slurry Tanker Manage in an Hour?

The factors to consider when calculating how many loads you can manage in a day is dependent on the size of the slurry tanker, the type of loading mechanism on the tanker, the spreading applicator system, and the distance you have to travel when transporting the effluent. Slurry Tanker Size Farmers who are using a […]
The Benefits of a Trailing Shoe

Application Directly Under Crops A trailing shoe is able to apply effluent directly under crops with accurate placement, which allows for less wind drift and minimal odour reaching to other areas. A trailing shoe is particularly a good choice if your paddocks are grassland. If your effluent is slightly phytotoxic, which means the effluent is […]
What is the Best Way to Manage Effluent from a Slatted Floor Cow Barn?

Manage Effluent with a Slurry Tanker A slurry tanker is the best way to remove the top layer of effluent because of its ability suck the slurry layer through a vacuum. With only requiring one farm worker to load and apply effluent, it gives the ability for smaller runs more regularly, or the option to […]
Is Galvanised Steel Better than Paint for Effluent Equipment?

Durability Of Coating Galvanised coating is better than paint in effluent equipment for a number of reasons. Zinc-iron alloy layers of hot-dipped galvanised (HDG) steel coating are durable in nature and have a rare need for maintenance, unlike field touch-ups that are required for painted bare steel. Paint vs. Galvanised Steel Coating Paint often requires […]
Are Slurry Tankers Really a Cost Effective Way to Spread Effluent?

Benefits of a Slurry Tanker Unlimited Reach Slurry tankers have unlimited reach across multiple paddocks and areas of operation. A slurry tanker allows you to reach a greater area without concern of toxic build up over time that could create health problems for animals. Whether you have long or irregular shaped paddocks, a slurry tanker […]
Benefits of Spreading Effluent in a Dry Summer

Increases Water Holding Capacity Irrigating has the ability to improve paddocks by increasing the water holding capacity of the soil to ensure the pasture recovers effectively. One approach to applying effluent to assist with improving pasture conditions is to utilise a Nevada RainWave™ Applicator. With a gentle low-pressure rain pattern and the ideal heavy droplet […]
On Farm with Alan Coburn in South Taranaki

To spread effluent further down the farm, Alan invested in a Nevada 12,800L Tandem Slurry Tanker to complete his effluent system design.
Is a Slurry Tanker More Efficient Than a PTO Pump System?

Slurry Tankers Slurry tankers are the most flexible approach to effluent management. A slurry tanker is an all-in-one system that functions as a pump, piping system and irrigator. Depending on your equipment needs, different attachments can be sorted to match paddock size and shape. Slurry tankers are a reliable option for the majority of the […]
Selecting a Slurry Tanker Loading Arm

What are the different types of slurry tanker loading arms? Different makes and models of slurry tanker will include different loading arms. Nevada slurry tankers include a 8in Ezi-Load auto-filling arm on models 10,000L and up, and this is an optional feature for smaller models. While the Ezi-Load filling arm suits most farmers and contractors, […]
Choosing the Perfect Suspension for your Slurry Tanker

Why Suspension is Important on a Slurry Tanker Why? Well without suspension every bump, pothole, or uneven terrain would be directly transmitted to the tank and tractor. This can lead to excessive vibrations, compromising the structural integrity of the tanker and causing unnecessary stress on components. A well-designed suspension absorbs shocks, improves stability, and ensures […]
Jeanette & Neil Took A Proactive Approach To Discharge Consent

With more effluent to spread, Jeanette and Neil thought it would be wise to invest in their own slurry tanker to spread when and where they wanted
Josh Increased his on Farm Efficiency

With the rising cost of fertiliser, Josh needed a solution that was drought resistant, with enough retention for winter months.
