Geoffrey Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 my latest conversion i'm workin on at the moment. it are 2 slurry tankers, a veenhuis 12.500L and 14.000L singele axel slurrytanks. first some photos of the real slurytanks from veenhuis : The Veenhuis 12.500L singel axle with long fillingarm ( don't know if a have trancelate it right ) The Veenhuis 14.000L singel axel but this one will get the short fillingarm of the tanker underneath. a photo of the short filling arm that wil be build for the 14.000L.

Geoffrey Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 bouth tanker will be self 100% scrach build from poly and a bit of messing. both tankers have a "steered drawebar" ( see the first photo ) this way the tractor doesn't drive in the same track as the tanker does. zo less groundpresure. and you can also make tighter turns. this is the way steered drawbar works i started building the 2 chassis. both tankers will have Robert Peters flotation tires.

Deere-est Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 That's a first for me, I didn't know you could get drawbars to offset trailing machines. You have quite a task ahead but I reckon we are going to see a great model at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texas Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Looking great. Question couldn't you use the tanker from ros? Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Amazing work so far on those Veenhuis tankers, looking forward to seeing them complete and yoked up to the 7130. Real thing looks very smart too, never seen a drawbar like that on a slurry tanker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 a joskin tank and a Veenhuis tank are 2 different things. veenhuis hase different sizes of there tanks. if you whant you tank to look like the real one. you need to have the same size tank. both single axel tanks are custom made from a sollid block of PVC and milled down to the exact shape of the veenhuis tank. the tank on the twin axeld is a modified siku josking tank. both tanks have the same size. i'm allso planning on building a Veenhuis triaxle transport tank. on the chassis of the ROS tanker. but with a custom made tank.
