Tramspread at Grassland
TRAMSPREAD, the slurry and digestate handling
specialists, are set to exhibit their new fast tow engine
driven pump unit at Grassland & Muck 2017, stand
number 938.
ith an auto reverse
overrun ball hitch,
the fully
galvanised chassis
is mounted on twin
braked high speed
axles, enabling the pump unit to
be towed comfortably behind a
4x4. The Bauer SX2000 slurry
pump is powered by a 170hp
engine and controlled via a top
spec SIL Vision IV remote control,
only available exclusively through
Tramspread, giving the operator
unparalleled information and
control via the large colour display.

floor mixer
Another great piece of kit on
show will be the RECK Slatted
floor mixer. One person can move
and operate this unique mixer,
stirring slurry channels without
moving animals or slats.
Tramspread will also exhibit the
Albers Alligator NurseBag and
Reeler. This simple high capacity
tank is used in conjunction with
the NurseBag Reeler, which can
be either linkage/fork tine mounted
or a slow tow version mounted on
a twin axle chassis. A NurseBag is
simply reeled out onto smooth
level ground, and using the two
standard 6” inlet/outlets can then
be filled by tanker whilst liquid is
simultaneously pumped out for
spreading. The large capacities
minimise downtime in the field,
with up to 350m3 available to be
pumped as opposed to the typical
40 – 60m3 of a conventional steel
nurse tank.
When a block of land has been
spread, the Reeler reels the
NurseBag onto its spool, expelling
any remaining liquid as it goes. It
can then be transported to the
next site with the minimum of
downtime. Multiple NurseBags can
be served by one Reeler.
For more information and a
warm brew, visit the
knowledgeable Tramspread boys
on stand number 938.

The AgBag alternative
Based in Devon, AB Systems operates a nationwide
contractor service for AgBag, its innovative agricultural
and environmental storage solution.
nvented in the UK,
AgBags are large
bags, used
primarily to store
all forms of forage
and feed on farms.
The exterior white layer of
AgBag’s 3-ply construction reflects
solar heat, keeping the bag and its
contents cooler, while the black
inner lining keeps out sunlight and
preserves valuable nutrients.
With UV inhibitors to resist sun
damage, each AgBag is made to
last two years in tough weather
conditions, although contents can
still be intact for up to seven years.
AB Systems runs the only 4.3m
AgBagger in Europe, so that its
I
customers can bag more tonnage
per metre.
Since 2016 the AgBag storage
system has included silage clamp
sheet. Being only 90 micron thick,
with a built-in oxygen barrier and
constructed of seven layers that
don’t separate, it is stronger,
lighter and more flexible than
conventional silage film.
