OverviewCastor slurry tankers are high-capacity tankers engineered for liquid fertilizer distribution on large-scale agricultural operations. Available in 8–20 m³ sizes, they combine a robust steel tank, a 12,000 L/min double pump and hydraulic controls to enable rapid discharge and extended spreading ranges under demanding field conditions.
Key features- Capacities: 8 m³, 10 m³, 12 m³ and 20 m³
- Maximum transport volume up to 20,000 L (20 m³ model) and spreading width up to 15 m (20 m³ model)
- 12,000 L/min double-sided pump for fast emptying (full tank emptied in ~20–25 minutes depending on model)
- Tank plate thickness: 6 mm; steel structure and hydraulic control system for field durability
- Hydraulic discharge gate for controlled emptying; manual trailer parking jack
- PTO drive 540 rpm; required tractor power: 80–130 HP depending on model
