    J Riley takes Kumm Technik slurry tanker on the road

    After taking on the sole UK distribution for Kumm Technik slurry tankers at the backend of 2023, J Riley Agri has announced a demonstration tour of the KTR 20.5m3 twin-axle tanker, equipped with a Bomech Farmer 15m trailing shoe.

    The tanker features a four-tonne capacity adjustable drawbar, pneumatic suspension and Michelin 800/60 R32 tyres with central tyre inflation. The capacity is split between two chambers, with the rear emptied first to maintain weight on the drawbar.

    Additionally, air can be released from the suspension system for 90 seconds to transfer more weight to the tractor.

    It is fitted with a double-hinged eight-inch filling arm which can be adapted to fill from a tanker docking station or a lagoon. The macerator and stonetrap are mounted ahead of the 9,000 litres per minute pump and the application rate is controlled via an in-cab touchscreen purchased directly from Kumm, or via an ISOBUS connection.

    “We are pleased to be able to offer the KTR range of Kumm tankers,” said Sion Williams, sales director for slurry equipment at J Riley Agri. “Michael Kumm built his first tanker after being unable to find a machine on the market which was suitable for his contracting business in Germany. Now 15 years later, Kumm Technik is known for its high-quality tankers. The KTR range runs from 14 to 30m³, and we can also supply the KTS 30m³ articulated road tanker which is fully UK compliant.”

    “We have the 20.5m³ KTR tanker available for demonstration, fitted with a 15m Bomech Farmer trailing shoe applicator. This tanker maintains an accurate application rate even when applying lower volumes thanks to the rotary lobe pump and 8” flow-meter working with a three-way valve which directs the correct volume to the boom and sends the excess back to the tank.”
