SlurryKat has launched its most sophisticated tanker series to date, packing a redesigned chassis, integrated drawbar and anti-surge baffle system.

By reworking the bones of the machine, engineers have managed to lower the centre of gravity on the Elete range by 160mm, while making room for a neat integrated drawbar.

This comes complete with hydraulic suspension, which can be adjusted at the touch of a button on isobus control screens.

Obvious perks of the setup are improved operator comfort and better stability on the road.

Though there are some secondary benefits, including improved in-field traction and faster filling and emptying times.

This is thanks to the drawbar’s ability to alter the pitch of the machine, manipulating the position of tank contents for both weight balance and proximity to inlets and outlets.

Another boon for road manners is an anti-surge baffle system that gives even more protection against unwanted sloshing than the Premium Plus range.

For now, buyers get the option of two models: the single axle 2750G and tandem 4000G, both of which have capacities to match their name tags.

Also new to the SlurryKat stable is a hydraulic linkage for tandem-axle tankers that has its own independent base plate on the rear of the chassis.

The maker says this improves strength without adding any additional weight to the tanker itself.

There’s a fresh 12m Farm Line dribble bar too, which has a re-engineered frame, adjustable linkage brackets, a wrap-around connection and the option of new cultivation attachments.
