FB Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 looking good Sven, not seen one before so new to my eyes!! :) hows College ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-classic-collector Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 thanks fb, yes college is good, go back tonight, supposed to be at work experiance today but i left my overalls at coll and my second cousin isnt at work today so will be boring!!!! i have loads of storys and pictures to post when i have time........... on the subject of the slurry guzzler............. not many about i no that, but the majority are made by 'slurry guzzler' and are yellow with red wheels, they work by reversing the entire tanker into a ramped lagoon. the tanker has a vacuum but also a corkscrew system at the back for tougher sludge, they are prone to blocking and clogging with 'biily band' but the later models resolved this common problem i beleive. the positive features of these machines are there tough build, quick fill and i mean quick fill hence 'guzzler' , and the new ones are all galvanised and stainless, however down sides are the horsepower requirement and the blockage factor, plus not everyone has a ramped lagoon. however on mine you will notice an exit to one side, you can fill via pipes from here. and it can be used to side spread to, and my added extra was top fill lid :D :) it does it all................. can anyone get me the decals???? thanks....

smallclaas Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Nice bit of kit there Sven. A farm near me could of done with one of those, they used to have 2 lagoons with slopes into them, but they used a lagoon mixer and vacum tank to empty it. That slurry Guzzler looks like a gooD idea.
