Hi-Spec will use the show to demonstrate that its slurry tankers can be specially-designed to customer requirements.
Just such a tanker will be on display in the form of the 3500 TD-S tanker, which has a capacity of 3,500 gallons (15,911 litres), and comes as standard with a sprung drawbar, sprung parabolic tandem axles, complete with a forced steering rear axle, which have been fitted with 710/50 R26.5 Nokian Country King tyres.
The customer also specified load sensing air brakes, a bolt-on ball type hitch and central greasing point for the rear axle. To keep turnaround time to a minimum, they have also opted for a 6-inch (150mm) autofill system, with a 10-inch (254mm) overhead emptying funnel complete with a 6-inch (150mm) breather valve.
The tanker has also been fitted with a wide-angle Walterscheid PTO shaft, lockable toolbox, bolt-on galvanised mudguards, rear LED lights, work lights and strobe flashing beacon.
Also on display at the show will be a 3500TD-R tanker with recessed twin axles, a 14,000-litre Jurop vacuum pump and an 8-inch autofill system and flow meter.
The tanker is fitted with the latest Vogelsang Blackbird 12-meter trailing shoe, which was launched at Agritechnica. The 12t capacity Xcel 1250 rear discharge spreader will also be on the stand as will a V12 vertical auger mixer wagon.
