When opening them gate valves put Ur left hand on top of the rod and gently push towards tank use Ur right hand to pull handle, add a little grease to the rod to free them up if stiff. Best handle going once u get onto them can't fall closed with vibration filling
Totally agree, I bought a new tanker a year ago and them handles are VERY annoying your idea of welding them that they can move sounds good, why they complicate the simple old style handle I can't understand. keep up the great videos
Had the same problem with them handles.Take off the brass nut on top of the valve and put on a large washer(think it’s about m30/32)It will keep your handle down in place
I feel your pain those handles are shocking I bolted a short bit of twisted flat bar down to one of the four m12 bolts that hold the valve on. No more issues 👍
I always found the biggest thing even with thick slurry is how patient the lad agitating is, most fellas just dont give it enough time, the trailing shoe on the Abbey tanker I use let's the slurry into the top of the macerator and from the bottom of the macerator theres a pipe leading down to a flexi blue pipe that folds in, any pieces of timber or silage or whatever shouldnt be there stays down there and every so often open that and it runs out, shifted well over 300 tanker loads through the trailing shoe (thick and thin) and the only thing that blocked the boot down the bottom of the trailing shoe was a stick the size of your pinky finger and a piece of silage wrapped around it, 2 hose clamps off and got it out away for road again
We had the same problem, fix the bracket for holding the handle in place, then there is a big nut on top of the hatch, take off that nut and put a big washer under it and put back on the nut, and that will fix ur problem👍
Lads are losing their sense to think auto steer for slurry and gps for fertiliser spreading are needed, nice tech. no doubt, myt have a place in the States with 100 acre fields but not here, as for the dribble bar its the function and output you rate it on not how it looks relative to the tanker, thats just chasing image

No proper stone trap below the fill points that’s why stuff gets stuck in the valve

🇨🇮🇨🇮👍👍🙏🙏👌👌
Great video she’s some tanker
Would some of the super strong thread lock do for the valve. The stuff you need a torch to get off again.
👌
0:20 taking both sides of da Road 👏🏼
Would a runner insert help with the load gate?

Did u sell the slurry Kat tank
Are you not going selling them dribble bars? Look a decent job
Yes I am 👍👍
Try flipping them clamps around on the gate valve we did that and they haven’t budged since
🇨🇮🇨🇮👍👍🙏🙏
Would you not get auto steer and would you not have went a bigger dribble bar the Joskin makes it look like a dwarf
Why ?

Ya but it’s tiny behind that big joskin
Why would someone not
Put a propeller in the
Back of the tanker to
Do some of the mixing
&chopped before it goes
The chopper on the
Dribble bar
I think you can get that on some brands of tankers.
As if you bed with sand it settles in the tanker
