Tractor-mounted irrigation hose reel

Overview
SlurryKat flexible umbilical pipeline systems enable pumping of liquid manure from lagoons or tanks to tractor-mounted applicator units using layflat hose handling. The method reduces reliance on tanker transport and is designed for slurry and irrigation applications.

Advantages

• Substantially improved work rates, typically around 300 m³/h (dependent on spreading equipment).
• Reduced field soil compaction compared with tanker operations.
• Elimination of damage to field access areas and reduced mud on access roads.
• Operational fuel and time savings through continuous umbilical pipeline use.

Hose Reeler Options

• Premium Plus™ Front Mounted Reelers — lightweight, high-capacity hose carrying system for front tractor mounting.
• Premium Plus™ Rear Mounted Reelers — lightweight, high-capacity rear-mounted solution.
• Standard Rear Mounted Reelers — layflat hose handling for slurry and irrigation.
• BAK-PAK™ System — carry additional hose and capacity for extended runs, saving time and fuel.
• Drop Out Reelers — quick one-pin unhook for easy attachment to umbilical hose reels.
• Trailed Reelers — flotation tyres and road-ready configuration for long-distance towing.
