Looking for wisdom, failing that ‘quick bodges and creations’.
Elderly but functional slurry tanker is beginning to implode.
If everything but the tank wasn’t working fine I’d probably scrap the thing but as it only gets occasional use for 3-4 loads at a time the sensible options are limited...
I have just been accepted for the grant on a trailing shoe, however since putting in for it I have learnt that it would be too heavy for my current tanker and so am looking at either a Joskin, Hi spec or Major 2000g with a trailing shoe depending on what's in stock in time for the grant .

The time has come to retire our old Kidd Spreaders and replace them with a modern (new) machine.
We do 5000 tonnes or more per year but 12 months of the year so it should n't be a hard life. Obviously everyone will say Bunning but is there something cheaper but good out there.
Currently dig out grass silage into a pile with a grab, then use a large Emily bucket to pick it up and feed it along troughs. Simple and little to go wrong. Only needs one tractor.
Stupidly thinking out loud now, can I fill a mixer wagon with loader tractor and then hitch loader tractor up to...
Seven years into my CFA and we finally have some decent infrastructure. For this winter I will get by with the machinery I have but looking forward to next winter I'm still struggling to work out the best way to physically feed silages to the cows.
This is the layout we nearly have now...

There is a lot of raffle sites on Facebook etc and some wonderful cars etc to be won. Most appear to be based in Ireland.
The prizes mostly stop their. Nearly a draw every night for a hi end prizes often a £50.000. Car with only 60% sell out.
They must be the biggest scam out there.
Any one...
looking to upgrade from Bunning hd 15 ton wide body , need to spread 24 m down the tramlines with compost. Has any one got any experience of the Strautmann or Bergman disc spreaders please.
Been looking at the new Tanco triple mower setup I’m wondering what are peoples thoughts on it. To me it seems a good idea as I already have a tractor fit to drive it. I’m still on 2 trailed mowers but will be looking to speed up the job in the future. I know it’s new and probably best give it a...
I am going buying a new slurry tank. normally deal with breens farm machinery because there next door to me more or less and they sell Redrock slurry tanks. It is a 2500 gallon tanker and galvanised that I'm looking at with a dribble bar.
Has anyone any experience of Red rock tankers and can...
Hello,
I’ve whittled it down to four in my own head:
major
Hi spec
Conor
Newrock.
The 4 are coming in at roughly the same price give or take and I have them specced as closely as possible. 2.5k gallon or 2.6k gallon(major, hispec)
One thing niggling me is the way the cylinder is...
Afternoon all
I’ve searched on here but couldn’t find a thread.
Considering upgrading our tanker to increase output. Choices are Hi spec/abbey/Redrock 3000 gal single or tandem axle. Maybe a tandem axle 3500 as it’s not much more in price. What I’m not sure of is the manoeuvrability of a...
Been looking into slurry tankers around the 2700gallon mark. Slurrykat and major being the final choices.
I’ve seen both working and impressed but struggling to find much difference between the two.
Both similarly priced
Has anyone worked on either brand or got any experience using them both...
These are my 3 tractors for 2500 acre arable and a few sheep. I love the simplicity and yet have enough tech to do everything I need.

7930
6930
Lowest hours 4400 highest has 6500.
but I will keep rebuilding them as nothing else really floats my boat.
