Scotty12 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I think this is the right place to post this. My question is why do contractors with the umbilical system sometimes use a grain trailer with a pipe coming out of it? Has anyone else seen this? I saw W.J. Stewart (i think) using it!

jcb4cxkid Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 probably to store slurry if there a long way from the slurry store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Aye, sealed trailer. Boom on tanker into trailer then out the pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 why not use a slurry tanker then blake?? bit risky with a grain trailer if the back door came open, seen one down here that has a tank on a low lader for the same job, i asume he just drags it ion when needed so still has the trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 yes completely sealed trailer would have been able to get pics of one working here but the tractor with spreading plate is 1ft too wide to get up the lane bloody telegraph pole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb4cxkid Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 would it be cheaper than buying a tanker ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 would it be cheaper than buying a tanker ? well nothing comes cheap i guess it would be for quickness aswell, dont need to aim that hole the same plus usuall people usually have an old trailer lying about so just as easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 if you have a 14t grain trailer sealed up it will hold 2 - 3 tankers bepending on size and is easier to fill into with the ferry tankers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
