Why Arthur Wants A Second Slurry Tanker!

Arthur Clapison is a dairy farmer that thinks outside the box and grabs opportunities with both hands...

Sharemilking on a dairy farm in Kaimata, North Taranaki, Arthur is passionate about the use of effluent nutrients. So much so, that in his spare time he helps other local farmers – stirring their ponds and spreading over paddocks.

Arthur’s first effluent equipment investment with Nevada was a TurboStir™ 6000 PTO stirrer. Being a sharemilker he needed a stirrer that was portable so he could take it with him wherever he goes, so in making the most of his investment it makes sense to use it for some contracting work as well.

As an advocate for effluent spreading Arthur’s next investment was to be a slurry tanker to enable him to have an entire effluent management solution not just for himself, but for his contracting clients. Given the TurboStir^TM had been a great success, he headed straight to Nevada to enquire about a slurry tanker.

‘Reliability is key for me. I’m not only using the machine for my own farm, but for my clients. The stirrer’s been great, so I went back for a slurry tanker.’

Arthur’s got a big tractor and a lot of effluent to spread, so a Nevada 20,000L Triple Axle Slurry Tanker was a good fit. The tractor can easily handle the load, and carrying a larger amount makes it more efficient with less trips back to the pond.

‘It’s amazing how manoeuvrable it is. Very efficient. Surprisingly fast spreading with the RainWave^TM. I’d like to have two identical machines!’
