PEL Tuote - Model Livakka Pro -Manure Slurry Tankers
Livakka Pro slurry tankers are ideal for professional use with a wide range of optional accessories. The tankers have a separate chassis and a bolt-mounted tank, and are available in six sizes.
The 14–18 m³ tankers are fitted with steered and suspended bogie with steering on the rear axle. All axles have brakes. The 20 cubic metre option is 3-axled with leaf spring suspension and friction steering on the front and rear axle. All axles have brakes. Drawbar suspension is provided as standard. Premium steered slurry tankers come standard with force steering.
Standard Pro slurry tankers are delivered with 710/55R34 tyres. Other tyre option is 850/50R30,5.
The chassis of the Livakka slurry tanker consists of a 150x250x8 double-wall tubular steel frame and an equally robust drawbar. The narrow drawbar, steered and suspended bogie, and short overall length make tight radius turns possible and allow for easy handling both in the field and on the road. With an optional accessorie, crab steering, the tractor and slurry tanker can travel along different tracks in the field, thus considerably reducing soil poaching.
The tank is 2000 mm in diameter and made of 6 mm plate with seams welded on both sides. The round structure makes the tank strong, fully emptiable and easy to clean, as there are no extra edges or corners to collect dirt and slurry. Compartment plate and baffle plates in the front section of the tank provide extra reinforcement and restrain slurry movement.
Tank is equipped with its own auxiliary frame. The angle form of the auxiliary frame tilts the tank forward to ensure than all slurry runs into the spreader pump.
The tank is mounted to the chassis by bolting the auxiliary frame directly to it. A reinforcing sleeve runs through the frame bar. An elastomer bumper is placed between the auxiliary frame and frame bar to make a flexible structure.
There are no serviceable parts inside the tank – a feature that adds to user safety by eliminating all maintenance-related works requiring entry. Components and electrical and hydraulic lines run underneath the tank, enhancing user convenience as well as ease of cleaning and maintenance.
Sufficient drawbar weight is ensured with a weight transfer system: the front section of the tank is compartmentalised and does not receive any discharge air until the rear section has been emptied. Thanks to the system, the 4 m³ section in front of the compartment plate that can hold up to 4000 kg of slurry remains steady and stable until the back of the tank has been emptied.
All surfaces to be painted are steel shot blasted to ensure proper paint adhesion. The interior of the tank is given an epoxy coating to protect against corrosion caused by slurry. Exterior surfaces are given a polyurethane topcoat, which offers high UV-resistance and allows the tankers to retain their trademark red colour, with no fading. For those who value a more personalised look, we offer special colours.

- Hydraulic discharge can be fitted in place of the articulated shaft-driven pump, either as an initial or retrospective installation.
- The hydraulic drawbar suspension alleviates the forces exerted on the tractor hitch. Drawbar suspension comes standard on 3-axle slurry tankers.
- Hydraulic suspension distributes the weight of the slurry tanker evenly to all wheels. The tanker is very stable to pull, even on rough terrain. In 3-axle models the first axle can be lifted off the ground.
- With crab steering, the tractor and slurry tanker can travel along different tracks in the field, thus considerably reducing soil poaching.
- Scharmüller ball hitch
- The slurry tanker can be fitted with cameras, whereby one camera is situated at the rear filming the blind area of the tanker, and the other is installed on the crane to make the lowering of the pump into wells and other narrow enclosures safer. The images from the cameras can be monitored on a display on the Premium controller located inside the tractor.
