The farm’s previous system was inadequate for what they needed, it wasn’t getting the job done, and the farm was at risk of breaching their resource consent if they continued as they were. So when a Nevada flyer arrived in the mail, Nathan decided to make an enquiry.
A Nevada slurry tanker looked like the ideal solution, and Nevada were able to put together a good deal, so Nathan was more than happy to press the go button.
‘The big thing is we can spread effluent over the whole farm and that is priceless.’ Nathan said.
Since getting the 8,000L Nevada Single Axle Slurry Tanker, Nathan is no longer worried about breaching their resource consent. The new tanker allows them to spread where and when they want, and it’s fast and easy. The spreading action of the RainWave™ means the ground is able to soak up the nutrients from the slurry, and they are not getting any ponding or run-off.
‘Effluent is worth big money if you can use it to grow grass where you need it. The Nevada tanker has been a great investment.’
