World's Biggest Liquid Manure Tank
Balzer Inc's. Magnum top fill wagon features a 12,000-gal. tank built out of 1/4-in. thick steel. The wagon is 37 ft. long from tongue to back injectors. It's equipped with eight 30.5 by 32-in. flotation tires, which keep ground pressure to a low 9.4 psi.
Only two of the wagons have been built but the Mountain Lake, Minn., company has orders for two more. One of them will incorporate Caterpillar tracks to reduce ground pressure even further.
Wheeled units sell for $75,000 with an 8-disk injector system.
