Hi-Spec machines on show at tomorrow’s Grassland UK include two 2600 SA-R (Single Axle – Recessed) slurry tankers.The first is specified with a simple sight tube and has a 15cm Autofill system, operated using a single double-acting spool valve. It is fitted with a Agquip 7.0m wide dribble bar, mounted on a quick release A-frame.
The second higher specification tanker is fitted with air/hydraulic brakes and in addition to a sight tube, also features porthole style sight glasses at the rear of the tanker. For filling, in addition to the 15cm Autofill system, the tanker also incorporates a sliding top hatch fill system with ladder and Bauer fill points.
Capacities on the six-model SA-R range are from 6,137 litres (1,350 gallons) up to 13,640 litres (3,000 gallons) and as standard feature a stepped axle to reduce height. Both show models are on 800/65 R32 Alliance 181 A8 tyres. Options include a Turbofill high capacity filling system, anti-lock braking, a range of dribble bar, trailing shoe or disc injector applicators and GPS and application monitoring systems.
The tankers are also available in a demount version, that allows the chassis to be used out of season with other bodies, such as the company’s four-model range of Kompactor push-off trailers.The K36 coming to the show features a hydraulically operated headboard. Powered by a triple hydraulic ram system, the company says the headboard not only compacts material to increase the load carried by up to 40%, but also allows the trailer to be completely emptied in as little as 30 seconds.
On display in the manure demonstration area will be the Hi-Spec Xcel 1250 rear discharge spreader. This uses a rotary chain and flail system to break up of material and a pair of spinning discs to spread it out at widths of up to 24.0m. The company says the 12.0t contents are typically discharged in 3-5 minutes.
