[Diesel Blue]

Do Herbst make their own Tanker I’d heard they don’t Iv been considering a 5000g tandem with steering and dribble bar

You must be on very dry land to let a 5000 gallon tanker out on.

 

[Diesel Blue]

Not that dry at this time of year but mostly flat and sandy loams would be using it to ferry digestate

 

[jamj]

Sorry I'm not sure, think they do, but you could phone them and ask.

I think they used to be made by Connor. Don't know if this is still the arrangement

 

[Diesel Blue]

You could be Wright is Connor a good quality manufacturer Iv been hearing a lot of the Irish tankers makers use Chinese axles and stub end and wheel shears off I run a Fastrack and 930 fendt so I would probably need dependability
Has anyone had or have a Samson Tanker they look good I have a two Samson rear discharge spreaders they have been very good
We have a flat by Herbst it’s good

 

[Suckndiesel]

Would you not need to go tridem for 5000 gallon? A tanker that size would be at least 30 ton full.

 

[Wellytrack]

Herbst make their own tanker.

 

[Wellytrack]

If your going tandem or tridem I would recommend you give Redrock a call..

And also illegal.

 

[grass man]

Herbst make their own tanker.

Have they all ways manufactured in house?

 

[Lakesdigger]

I might be wrong here but i would doubt every tanker manufacturer is rolling the main cylinder and making tank ends themselves. You'll probably find they all buy those sections off one or two engineering companies

 

[Diesel Blue]

Probably not legal but sure there’s not a 50/60 K tractor out there that is other than the fastrack and MB Tracy is legal

 

[Sheep]

Never seen any Herbst's that big, only ever single axles.

Most of the bigger tankers are Slurrykats, Connors, Redrocks or Abbey's around here.

They took over what was SH Watterson's tanker.

What tractor is legal pulling 30 tons excluding it's own weight?

 

[agrimax]

Herbst have a tandem axle 4000g tanker on their website.Suppose they may build a bigger bespoke tanker if asked?

They buy in the end caps but roll the barrel themselves or at least herron do

 

[shumungus]

They all roll their own tanks, a set of slip rolls for tanker thickness plate is no big thing nowadays.

 

[Wellytrack]

Go with someone who has made these tankers successfully before. It’s one thing making a single axle recess, quite another a tanker like that.
