Slurry Tanker: Peter’s Research Paid Off

As a contractor in Eketahuna there's no room for mucking around...

He’s recently upgraded his slurry tanker to a Nevada 12,800L Tandem Slurry Tanker with RainWave™ applicator.
‘My old 10,000L tanker had simply become inefficient. It bucked hard on the tractor, and was damaging the tracks and races.’ Peter said.

With all the contracting work, Peter could easily see the old slurry tanker had done it’s dash, and it was time for an upgrade.  So he did some serious research. ‘If I was going to invest in a new machine, I wanted one with higher quality. I researched them all [tanker brands], and came back to the Nevada because it’s got good steering, is good to operate, and it’s galvanised.’

Now Peter’s been using his new 12,800L Nevada tanker for a while, and put it through it’s paces, he can safely say he’d recommend it to other contractors and farmers…

‘It’s great for the contracting, or for farmers wanting to empty their ponds when they want. You can see the huge advantages in grass growth when nutrients are spread at the optimum time.’
Peter Bengston – Contractor, Eketahuna
