Abbey makes slurry handling easier

The use of slurry applicators such as the Abbey Dribble Bar or Trailing Shoe is one of the biggest opportunities to capitalise on precision nutrient application. The use of slurry applicators such as the Abbey Dribble Bar or Trailing Shoe is one of the biggest opportunities to capitalise on precision nutrient application.

Mature cows typically produce 1.5 to 2 tons of organic matter per month, the value of which is often overlooked.

Attention to detail in the timing of slurry application, weather factors during spreading, soil type, soil fertility, field aspect, proximity to water courses, the quality of the slurry and the method of application are all important.

Getting the most from slurry involves adopting the appropriate management and application strategies to optimise its nutritional value and minimise any harmful effects to the environment. Abbey slurry solutions are key to utilising this valuable slurry for optimal farming results.

Abbey Machinery is at the forefront of sustainable machinery innovation, supporting farmers with dependable, sustainable, and digital slurry management solutions including slurry tanks, low emission slurry spreading solutions and muck spreaders.

The use of slurry applicators such as the Abbey Dribble Bar or Trailing Shoe is one of the biggest opportunities to capitalise on precision nutrient application and increase the value of the nutrient dense slurry. The Trailing Shoe and Disc Injector technology is also helpful by reducing harmful emissions by 60%.

Abbey’s Tankers range from 900 to 6500+ gallons, configured with standard, recess, tandem, recess tandem and tridem axles.

Tanks are produced using full length chassis construction, antimovement internal baffles, steel barrels, premium Battioni-Pagani pumps, heavy duty axles and a patented double trap system. SMART digital tanker technology options such as flow meter control, NIR sensors and ISOBUS solutions are available to further support precision farming.

The Abbey AP Multi Spreader range features a large diameter, heavy-duty auger that is designed to create an even flow of material without clogging. The well-constructed drum improves the flow of material, while the base is fitted with a double skin to provide years of trouble-free wear. The AP Multi Spreader can precisely spread broiler manure, mushroom compost, mulch, semi-solids, slurries, and factory waste, all with equally MATAMATA-BASED good results.
