Features and Benefits
The frame’s design incorporates strength, durability, and ergonomic features to ensure it is the most robust frame on the market.
To draw slurry into the pump, a 4.6m, 200mm intake pipe, is supplied as standard – perfect for pulling slurry from the ponds and priming the pump. Once the slurry is in the pump, the tractor PTO can be engaged and the power transmitted via the shear bolt protected PTO shaft.
Comfortable and complete control over the pump system is guaranteed thanks to the transparent pipe system, 10L vacuum vessel with a 3/4″ ball valve and heavy-duty vacuum primer providing a continuous vacuum rate of 0.5 bar.

Parts and Options
Long-Life Design
The fully galvanised frame ensures durability and long-life usage in demanding conditions. Pump wet end to gearbox security is provided by a silicon carbide mechanical seal reservoir making for a limited dry running capability, meaning reduced hard wear on the pump.
Primer Pump
Priming is provided via the heavy-duty primer, driven by the oversized hydraulic motor. The continuous vacuum rates of 0.5 bar and integral ventilator mean it’s not long before you are sending slurry into the field.
Optional Contractor Plus Pipework
Control starts at the pump. Operated from the tractor, the 6” double-acting hydraulic valve gives the operator the option to send the slurry back to the pond, reducing the pressure in the system when adjusting position or not applying slurry.Testimonials
Tony’s View.
Fisken Contracting, based in Gore, can tackle fairly much any job there is. From lane maintenance to cartage, baling to logging. Tony Fisken backs umbilical slurry systems because of their efficiency and the fact that they’ll work at high volumes and in conditions where slurry tankers simply can’t. “There’s little or no compaction of laneways or paddocks and it’s a very effective way of moving large amounts of nutrient.” Tony says the system is especially good on softer soils, (and on the shoulder seasons) where tankers could get stuck, as there are only the hoses to be placed down and reeled in. His business works with umbilical on distances up to, and even exceeding 2kms, which, Tony says, accommodates most properties. Some farmers find it so effective they choose not to use their own systems at all. “They just give us a call.”

Colin's view
Colin Molloy runs a 420-sow piggery, along with 130 hectares of cropping and livestock, in Sheffield, Canterbury with two large effluent ponds.
Although it was the advanced hydraulics that first drew Colin to his Veenhuis Profiline 16600 litre Slurry Tanker, he is also acutely aware of the need to successfully manage environmental issues and soil fertility. The tanker enables him to recycle the nutrient-dense manure and reduce odour in one go.
His tanker injects the effluent back into the soil providing a great start for barley, wheat, and pasture and removing the nuisance normally associated with conventional “broadcast” systems.
