Peter & Alyse Made a Calculated Investment
There’s a lot of value in effluent, and it’s a free resource. We needed to be spreading it over the entire farm.
Equipment Term: Slurry Tankers
Malcolm Found the Perfect Match
Malcolm didn’t need much convincing when it came to the purchase of his new 12,800L slurry tanker.
Slurry Tankers: Do I Need Auto-Fill?
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 […]
How to Spread More Effectively with your Slurry Tanker
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 […]
Do Slurry Tankers Take a Lot of Time?
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 […]
Slurry Tankers: Why a Full Chassis is Essential
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 […]
Slurry Tankers: Choosing the Right Size
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… […]
Is my Tractor too Small for a Slurry Tanker?
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 […]
Stan’s Effluent System Needed The Extra Resource
Stan was able to cut back on ferts, and spread over hills and other parts of the farm the irrigator cant get to, read how….
Brian & Ollie have Effluent Management Down Pat
While it doesn’t sound like a big upgrade, {from a 14,700L to 16,500L Tandem Slurry Tanker} every 7th load is a free load proving just how much further a slightly bigger tanker can go.
Slurry Tankers: What Makes a Strong Tank?
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 […]
LJS Contracting’s Success in Effluent Spreading
The timing was perfect when Lars Smith took the leap into his own agricultural contracting business specialising in effluent spreading with Nevada Slurry Tankers.
