The new PG II 28 from SAMSON AGRO.
SAMSON AGRO will exhibit this new slurry tanker
at several livestock shows over the summer.
SAMSON launches a PG II
28 slurry tanker
It is crucial to have the flexibility to choose the right filling systems
irrespective of implement, which is why SAMSON AGRO is now introducing
the PG II 28 slurry tanker.
he new PG II 28 model will
replace the current PG II 27.
The development of slurry
implements has accelerated in
recent years, and customer
demands for complete flexibility
to choose filling systems, regardless of
implement, have been intensifying. This
explains why this new tanker has been made
35 cm longer to provide more space for large
slurry drip hose booms. Several tanker features
have also been brought up to date to match the
requirements of professional users with the new
model. The tanker is being introduced as a
standard model for all markets and a hydraulic
wheel drive (HWD) model for selected markets.

“Like everything else in the agricultural
machinery sector, slurry equipment just
keeps getting bigger and bigger. This
makes bigger and bigger demands on the
lift”
Tested by five agricultural contractors
The first PG II 28 was ready in early spring.
After being tested at the factory, the new slurry

tanker underwent field testing at five Danish
agricultural contractors.
“It was crucial for us to get customer
feedback about these tanker modifications. It
was a good positive experience for both us and
the testing hosts,” says Søren Mejlstrup
Jensen, Product Manager for slurry tankers and
implements, SAMSON AGRO.
Better lifting of front axle
The undercarriage of the PG II 28 has been
modified to provide greater compression of the
hydraulic suspension system. This increases
the clearance between wheel and bed by up to
50% when the front axle is lifted. Operating the
axle lifter has also been improved and the lifter
is now easy to operate by pressing a short-cut
key on the SlurryMaster 8000 joystick.
“The wider clearance makes it possible to
substantially increase the pressure on the
drawbar eye. This is a great help when you
have to drive up steep hills pulling heavy
implements,” Søren Mejlstrup Jensen says.
New position and lift modification
The lift’s focal p oint has been lowered to
improve the tractor pull lines over to the
implement.
“As a result, the implement operates more
freely and reduces the load on both the
implement and the lift. Like everything else in
the agricultural machinery sector, slurry
equipment just keeps getting bigger and
bigger. This makes bigger and bigger demands
on the lift,” Søren Mejlstrup Jensen says.
This lift modification will also be incorporated
into the PG II 31 and PG II 35 so that the lifts on
all PG II slurry tankers will have the same
geometrical design.
