Slurry Tanker FAQs
What sizes of slurry tanker does Abbey Machinery offer? Abbey’s slurry tanker range covers capacities from approximately 4,000L or 900 gallons to 27,000L or 6,000 gallons. Available configurations include standard, recessed, tandem and tridem tankers. The suitable size depends on tractor capacity, land conditions, transport distances and required output.
What is the difference between a standard and recessed slurry tanker? A standard tanker is suited to a broad range of general farm applications. A recessed tanker positions the barrel and axle arrangement for a narrower width allowing for a larger wheel. Ask Abbey Machinery or your local dealer to confirm the most suitable configuration for your land and tractor.
Can an Abbey slurry tanker be used with a LESS applicator? Abbey offers tanker and applicator combinations for low-emission slurry spreading. Compatibility depends on the tanker model, applicator type, weight, hydraulics and controls, so the complete specification should be checked before ordering.
Which slurry tanker is suitable for agricultural contracting? Tandem and tridem tankers are designed for larger workloads and high-output applications, while the correct choice will also depend on road travel, field conditions, tractor size and the spreading system being used.
How can I request a slurry tanker specification or quotation? Use the Abbey Machinery enquiry form or contact your nearest Abbey dealer. Include your preferred capacity, tractor model, typical workload and required spreading equipment so the team can recommend an appropriate specification.
What optional extras are available on an Abbey slurry tanker?
Abbey slurry tankers can be configured with a range of equipment and technology depending on the tanker model and intended use. Options can include filling systems, pump configurations, tyre choices, axle and braking systems, hitch types, lighting and precision slurry application technology. Contact Abbey with your tractor, workload and application requirements to confirm the appropriate specification.
Can an Abbey slurry tanker use ISOBUS and Flow Meter control?
Abbey offers ISOBUS and Flow Meter solutions for precision slurry application. Depending on the machine specification, these systems can provide in-cab monitoring, application-rate control and improved recording of slurry spreading operations.
Can NIR nutrient sensing be used with an Abbey slurry tanker?
NIR live sensing technology is available as part of Abbey’s precision slurry technology offering. It can be used to measure slurry nutrient information during application and, when combined with compatible control and GPS technology, support more precise nutrient management.
What information should I provide when choosing slurry tanker optional extras?
Tell Abbey your tanker capacity requirement, tractor model and horsepower, typical transport distance, field and soil conditions, slurry application system and whether you require features such as precision rate control, nutrient sensing or advanced filling systems. This helps determine which specification is appropriate for your operation.
Slurry Tanker Optional Extras & Precision Technology
Abbey slurry tankers can be configured around the requirements of the farm, contractor, tractor and slurry application system. Depending on tanker model and specification, available technology and equipment options can include Flow Meter application control, ISOBUS solutions, GPS mapping and data logging, NIR live nutrient sensing and Multi-Stage Rapid Filling systems.
Customers can also discuss pump and filling configurations, tyre choices, axle and braking options, hitch types and lighting requirements. This allows the tanker specification to be matched to field conditions, road work, tractor capacity, LESS equipment and the level of precision control required.
For farmers and contractors moving towards precision slurry application, Abbey can combine tanker engineering with technology that helps monitor application rate, record field activity and make better use of slurry nutrients.
