We have been muck spreading for a few days now. We had to haul the cow slurry 5 miles by road and through town, 10 mile round trip and loads of traffic lights in town. We had 3 tankers on the go....3000 gallons, 2000 gallons and 1500 gallons. The large tanker has to stay on fairly flat fields and the smaller one is used on the steep hills and smaller fields. Cattle slurry is big business in Ireland and all these tankers are built in Northern Ireland. The 3000 gall is a high specification tanker with multiple fill points and the ability to empty from the front on downhills. it also has a pump to feed an umbilical pipeline system and rear linkage to carry an injector or dribble bar. The axle can also be moved hydraulically for better manoeuverability or better traction.The other tankers are quite basic. My neighbours were also at slurry, they were spreading wet steep ground using a low ground pressure field tanker and ferry tankers with booms to empty their tanks over the hedge, thus keeping mud off the roads and saving the gateways. I got the picture just as he had finished emptying a load. All we need now is some heat to help the crop grow! Sam
