Slurry tankers

[bill dart]

Hi do any one have experience with redrock 3,500 galon tandum wheels on 710 tyres just wondering how well they travel on damp ground and sloping ground compared with single axle

Twin axle will be far more stable on steep ground. I borrow my next door neighbours twin axle for my steeper fields. It will slide before it rolls. Definitely wouldn't want a 3500 gallon on a single axle

You get a smoother ride on twin axles in my view.

3500 on 710 tandem will travel very well but when the tough going gives way to very step and very wet going the big rotation tyre of a single axle will beat it.

Will be limited to 3000 on a single axle or thereabouts.

Thanks for your reply

Had a lot of trouble with 3000 galon tanker wheels and tyres tyres blow out and squats wheel centre £3,000 each time now want new 3,500 gallon tanker tandum axles

Don’t think there is 3500 gallon on single axle.

No way i’m going back to single axle. Twin is better on the road and in the field

You won’t have as much grip with the tandem as the extra axle takes some of the weight off the tractor. But obviously on the road this has a massive advantage. Tandem won’t travel as well in the wet either but ideally you shouldn’t be in the field when its too wet anyway. Other than that tandem is far superior. Big volume, single axle tankers don’t like being dragged flat out up & down the road. It puts massive stresses on them.

That’s quite something. Not unlike the Major Challenger.

What size tyres are you on please

The challenger had a very expensive axle set up that you lifted the front axle with hydraulics,there were a couple of Primex tankers local with an air lift axle,they were a far tidier set up and cheaper to build.
I used to hire a challenger,I never really rated it.

710 x 32 I think. would have to check but don’t think they are 650.

Looked a brute of a thing to be fair.

It’s a large footprint you will be fine. Steering axle makes a massive difference
