What is the Fastest Irrigation Method to Get My Paddock Back Into Rotation?
This can be approached either with an umbilical system, or a slurry tanker. With a RainWaveTM attachment or trailing shoe system on a slurry tanker, a paddock can easily be irrigated often to maintain optimal nutrients. Preparing Paddocks There are limitations in where effluent can be applied when a farm has an irrigation system in […]

Soil Biology: The Hidden Gem Beneath Your Feet Let’s dive into soil biology – the fascinating world beneath your boots. Your soil is teeming with life, from bacteria and fungi to earthworms […]
Ben and Mackenzie are Wrapped with their New Tanker
By upgrading to a Nevada 12,800L Tandem Slurry Tanker, Ben says, “The cost analysis is looking great.” They can now deliver 300 cubic metres in the same amount of time, nearly tripling their capability.
How Many Loads Can a Slurry Tanker Manage in an Hour?
The factors to consider when calculating how many loads you can manage in a day is dependent on the size of the slurry tanker, the type of loading mechanism on the tanker, the spreading applicator system, and the distance you have to travel when transporting the effluent. Slurry Tanker Size Farmers who are using a […]
The Benefits of a Trailing Shoe
There are several benefits of a Trailing Shoe for effluent management. These are outlined below: Application Directly Under Crops One of the main benefits of a trailing shoe is being able to apply effluent directly under crops with accurate placement, which allows for less wind drift and minimal odour reaching to other areas. A trailing […]
What is the Best Way to Manage Effluent from a Slatted Floor Cow Barn?
Manage Effluent from a Slatted Floor Cow Barn A slurry tanker is the best way to remove the top layer of effluent because of its ability suck the slurry layer through a vacuum. With only requiring one farm worker to load and apply effluent, it gives the ability for smaller runs more regularly, or the […]
Is Galvanising Better than Paint for Effluent Equipment?
Durability of Galvanising Galvanised coating is better than paint in effluent equipment for a number of reasons. Zinc-iron alloy layers of hot-dipped galvanised (HDG) steel coating are durable in nature and have a rare need for maintenance, unlike field touch-ups that are required for painted bare steel. Zinc Paint vs. Galvanising Paint often requires maintenance […]
Are Slurry Tankers Really a Cost Effective Way to Spread Effluent?
Benefits of a Slurry Tanker Unlimited Reach Slurry tankers have unlimited reach across multiple paddocks and areas of operation. A slurry tanker allows you to reach a greater area without concern of toxic build up over time that could create health problems for animals. Whether you have long or irregular shaped paddocks, a slurry tanker […]
Benefits of Spreading Effluent in a Dry Summer
Increases Water Holding Capacity Irrigating has the ability to improve paddocks by increasing the water holding capacity of the soil to ensure the pasture recovers effectively. One approach to applying effluent to assist with improving pasture conditions is to utilise a Nevada RainWave™ Applicator. With a gentle low-pressure rain pattern and the ideal heavy droplet […]
On Farm with Alan Coburn in South Taranaki
To spread effluent further down the farm, Alan invested in a Nevada 12,800L Tandem Slurry Tanker to complete his effluent system design.
Is a Slurry Tanker More Efficient Than a PTO Pump System?
Slurry Tankers A PTO Pump system works efficiently, but operates at a fixed position. Where is slurry tankers are the most flexible approach to effluent management. A slurry tanker is an all-in-one system that functions as a pump, piping system and irrigator. Depending on your equipment needs, different attachments can be sorted to match paddock […]
