Going bigger was the logical choice for Darryl Hickey...
As Darryl's business has grown, so has his machinery - it's only logical.
Located in South Taranaki, Darryl Hickey has grown his dairy farming business to include 3 farms, and 2,000 milking cows. As you can imagine, that means he's got a lot of effluent to manage.
Darryl's always used a slurry tanker to spread the effluent over all 3 farms, but the 10,000 litre manual fill was too slow and messy for the amount of ground he needed to cover. Coming from a family of farmers, it's really handy when your brother has already experienced a good thing - Graham already has a Nevada 14,700L slurry tanker, so he'd seen first hand how they operate, so gave Nevada a call.
With several creeks and drains around the farms, a Darryl finds a slurry tanker to be a better method of spreading than spray irrigation.
While Darryl could have gone for a 14,700L tanker, Graham suggested he upsize to a 16,500L. He's already got bigger tractors, so a bigger tanker to spread even more was just logical.
