Top fill tanker adapted to umbilical pump?

[BKFarmer]

Does anyone know if a top fill slurry tanker could be used as a nurse tank and the splash plate be changed to fit umbilical pipe to, to pump to a field?

Thinking of a system that would be used in early season/wet weather/cereals that would be low cost.

Not needing to pump big distances or up hills.

Thanks

Can’t see why not.. as long as you can keep it filled as quick as your umbilical can pump it

you will need a stronger pump for umbilical. this is on eBay been there for a long time it look's like a PD pump which mite do the job

Actually scrap what I said having re read the question!

No where near big enough, the cheapest option I’ve seen recently was a roro skip with the doors welded up and a steering axle fitted. It held around 60000litres and kept up nicely.

My contractor has a welded skip. It works well but with no wheels he has to get a friend to move it.

You'll want a tanker with a sludgigator pump and take the umbilical pipe from it. Sludgigator pump will push it maybe 500 meters depending on how thick it is

If the tanker has a top hatch, can you pump with the sludigator pump with the hatch open or does it have to be sealed to pump it out the pipe?

local crew have this setup...

It'll pump with the hatch open. You'll want a Garda pump, not a Jurop, for continuous pumping.

What kinda flow rate gallons/hr would you get with a Garda pump and say 600m pipe through a 7.5m dribble bar?

Iv a 3000gallon tanker so would need Garda pump on a 3500 gallon tanker or get a Garda pump off something and mount onto a sealed skip or container. That would let me build up a reserve of slurry incase I'm pumping out faster that filling.

Thought of getting an irrigator engine pump and replacing the water pump with a Garda pump

The Garda pumps are rated at 6500 litres per minute.
If you're buying a tanker to use as a nurse tank the garda pump on it would do fine but if you're going to use a container or skip as a nurse tank I'd look at a proper umbilical pump.

Yeah it's a 160 Puma if I remember right.
