Winter can be challenging enough as it is, so having some contingency measures in place can help take some of the stress off. Here are some contingency measures you can take to winter-proof your farm: 1. Ensure council and dairy company compliance Make sure you’re compliant with both your local council and dairy company (this […]
Nevada’s ezi-load auto-filling arm has an 8 inch diameter rather than the standard 6 inch. This enables twice the volume of effluent to be sucked up. Nevada slurry tankers also come with a bigger, more efficient vacuum pump making filling faster again. And for really big slurry tankers we recommend a loading accelerator to make […]
Not when you have a RainWaveTM All Nevada slurry tankers are fitted with RainWaveTM applicators because they provide a superior spread that’s simply not possible with a splash plate, injector unit or trailing shoe. Our RainWaveTM applicators produce larger liquid droplets which allow for a wider, more controlled and even spread. The larger droplets are […]
Slurry tankers can be taken just about anywhere on the farm, and with a RainWaveTM applicator the spread per hour is much faster than the typical travelling irrigator. Not only is it faster, but the spread is more accurate and controlled with less wind drift. This allows spreading into corners, irregular shaped paddocks, and closer […]
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 […]
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. Pairing your tractor with a slurry tanker The general rule of thumb […]
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 […]
Here’s some of the ways farmers can really utilise their effluent and reduce fertiliser costs… 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 […]
Why do slurry tanker vacuum pumps need oil? Vacuum pump oil does a whole lot more than just lubricate the pump. It’s needed for: What happens if the vacuum pump is not correctly lubricated? Feeding the vacuum pump too much or too little oil will affect the performance of the pump and reduce its lifespan. […]
With larger slurry tankers, it all comes down to efficiency. Farms Are Getting Bigger Overall farms are getting bigger, or many farmers are owning multiple farms in proximity. With a larger area to spread over, irrigation systems are inadequate for the entire farm. A larger slurry tanker therefore becomes the obvious choice for farmers to […]
Irrigators An underground pumping system gives you the power of automation. Woohoo – reduced labour! Not only is it great to automate tasks so you can get on with other tasks, but this is really handy during busy times like calving, or to be able to irrigate overnight when the sun’s not out. The main […]
