Slurry tanker

Jack H

My neighbour is looking to get a slurry tanker and he has a mf 275 4wd and he was wondering what size tank he should get he was looking at a 1350 gallon tank I was telling him a 1100tank would be easier pulled so I'll ask here thanks

all depends on how hilly the land is, id imagine shed pull a 1600 if its flat enough, what hp is one of those??

She is roughly 75 hp maybe a little less at this stage in her life !! The land would be fairly hilly aswell

Try contractors, I know there not perfect and unreliable sometimes but if he has Hilly ground hes Only Dogging his own tractor

My 2 cents
I think it's more about being able to control it going across the side of a slippy hill, downhill into a corner or meeting a car on a narrow road with 8 ton behind you.

If you can avoid these situations or there's a chance of upgrading the 275 later, then maybe.

Either way, if your fields are wet, focus on getting the widest wheel possible

1600 is too big for a 275, it would even struggle with a 1350 on soft or hill ground
