Slurry Probe

Slurry Probe MANURE HANDLING Storage 5-5-8 The driver can move from pit to pit and never have to leave the tractor seat with the first and only self-filling Vacuum Slurry Tanker on the market. Equipped with full hydraulic operation from the tractor cab, the new "Slurry Probe" does away with the necessity for the tractor driver to leave his cab and wrestle with messy pipes and couplings. He simply positions the tanker alongside the slurry pit then, using the hydraulic controls, swings out and down the 12 ft. long, 9 in. dia. filling probe, sucks the tank full, returns the filling probe, closes the probe shut-off valve, swings the probe back into travel position, and heads for the field. The filling probe has a 12 ft. side-ways reach, reducing to 4 ft. when the probe is down to its full 10 ft. depth. Filling time is 1 1/2 min. Discharge, which takes 2 1/2 min., is through a low level ævortex' aperture which is fitted with a hydraulic shut-off and cleaning trap with quick opening release wedge. Capacity is 1,250 gal.
