ihatepoundland Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I built this out of my scrap (milk tanker, tesco farm set axle, and a keenan chassis) I had to add the top bit to advoid sawing it off....was meant to be a MF tanker from days of old....but would a different colour/make be more accurate? Any ideas, I don't know my tankers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Here's a pic of a STAR slurry tanker just for comparison...... That looks promising, but were they availible with the top hatch? thanks for the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I'm not sure if you got the top hatch for them I'll try and find out for you...... I'll dig out a pic of a Red Rock one in a minute as well...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 How about making it a Major one? http://www.major-grasscare.com/agriculture.htm#LGP%20Tanker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 I just found a Star with a hatch.....but its set further back, there might be other models though? Major....again another good idea as I've seen one used locally, haven't seen one with a mid top hatch...though maybe they exist....maybe I should ignore accuracy since this is the wrong way to approach it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 spray it all blue & it would make a good TANCO slurry tanker , most convo's go on to be a 'star' 'abbey' or a 'major' be a bit different mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Alfa - Laval Ipsam make nice tankers Tanco like mjb suggested would look nice marshall? Pichon? Frazer I've heard of Kidd Tanka Spread (Think it's a Tanker) Any of those you like Rob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Had a look at all of your suggestions (this site was useful http://www.ftmta.ie/search.asp ) Alfa Laval - couldn't find enough info Ipsam - Not going to do a galvanised tanker Pichon - Too french Connor - Maybe, but its a bit JD http://www.cliveprattgarages.com/slurytanker.php Arrow - NC - just don't like the look of them Shortlisted to; Tanco, Fraser, Marshall with Malgar as favourite I think the choice will come down to availible paint colours. Any idea the capacity of the tank? (Britains Lorry Milk tanker) Thanks for all pics and ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea the capacity of the tank? (Britains Lorry Milk tanker)Thanks for all pics and ideas four wheel milk tanker would be approx 11500 - 12000 litres, which is roughly 2550 - 2660 gals ? powerstar, the KIDD tankaspread was KIDD's version of the west dual spreader except the discharge was on the right hand side as opposed to the west's left hand discharge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Thats BIG for a single axle right? as in no one does one that big in real life??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
