Dutch slurry handling specialist Schuitemaker has launched a new tanker.
It has a low centre of gravity and oversized 750-60R 30.5 tyres on tandem axles to minimise ground pressure
The Robusta 155 WK has a 15,500L galvanised tank which can be configured to fill with a left- or right-side vertical docking arm, or for those with tower set-ups, wishing to fill from above, the option of a top fill opening with a hydraulic slide.
On the left side of the machine a Borger 6000L/min pump is coupled to an 8-speed gearbox which allows the operator to achieve optimal discharge rates, and a chopper/filter system prevents blockages and ensures trouble-free operation.
At rear is provision to fit an optional 3- or 4-point linkage system to carry dribble bar or injection applicators.
Coupling to the tractor is via a hydraulically suspended drawbar and K80 ball type coupling for a smooth ride. Keeping the operator clean can be achieved by specifying the optional Profi electro-hydraulic control system.
Lighting is LED.
