One year of operating the 2244 NMS self propelled slurry injection machine
Our customers and ourselves are very pleased with the first year of slurry injecting. We have injected some 70,000 m3 (15,400,000million gallon!) of slurries over 5000ac. The benifit of nitrogen uptake of the plant following shallow injection is significantly better than other systems, offering customers the chance to make the most of the available nutrients in slurry. Low ground pressure has also been the key to our first years success due to the 'Dog Walk' chassis for field operation, we have been able to travel at times when tractors would have made a real mess. We have also given customers the option to move their slurries cost effectively to land which has never had the benifit before which has proved valuable.
We are looking forward to another year of injecting and we still have spare capacity so if you have an enquiry then please do not hesitate to contact us. Contact Us
