  • In todays video we are testing out a bit of mahinery that we are not sure whether to purchase or not. Let us know in the comments down below! To buy or not to buy that is the question. We get 2 paddocks that the calves have eaten topped and spread with slurry to make the grass grow.
    Hope you enjoy, any questions hit me down in the comments below, thanks for watching! G'Luck

    Yes a calf video please And can you explain what your preference is for different breeds and why And which breed do you prefer ? And why do you not breed some of your own calves ? Certainly would give you 100% traceability. Best regards to all

    Buy a 1600 or so with recessed wheels. I'd imagine the dribble bar will travel better on a tank with recessed wheels!! The wee bit of extra volume worth it too

  • @FirstnameLastname-qe3ry

    Its awful hard to find a good small tanker with a wide wheel base anymore. Our neighbours have an absolutly gorgeous star 1300g tanker, fully recessed with good size tyres like a 2000 gallon, it floats so well on ground and pulls awful easy too. Love that tanker, theyre restoring it with lots of welding and a new pump, great tanker, nobody botheres to make a recessed 1100-1300 gallon tanker anymore, even though there is some demand for them in fermanagh / west tyrone where i live. Abbey and redrock make nice 1600 gallon recessed tankers which is good.

      If u want to spread slurry on soft ground with that tank the wheels won't do u the bigger the wheel the better I no r experience as I'm in bog ground and had one of those thanks in 1150 gallons cud not travel but I now have a 1600 with dribble bar aswell on back and I can travel with it full and no damage

    We have soft ground. We went from a 1300 to a 1600 and now have a 2000gl. And the 2000gl is the best to travel. Its all about the tyres. Bigger tyres are the only way.

    @TheElectricgamez Před 17 dny +3

    get either a tanker with wide tires or a tandem axle as this tanker on these pizza cutters won't be much better than the 2500 with those wide tires on half a load.
    a different tanker may be more expensiver but more usefuller, it might be better to hold off for now and invest the money elsewhere, think of the roi.
    that's my two dutch cents on the subject

      well at some point you are too heavy. Whether 1000, 2000, 3000 or more gallons in one tank at some point you're going to find what sinks. Trouble is if the big tanks work for majority of lads everyone wants that when it's not possible. At the same time though, if it is too wet for a tractor and spreader, whether fertiliser or slurry you probably should have stayed in the yard
