Some of our clients in certain circumstances prefer to opt for interchangeable reel spools on their reelers. This is primarily to save on capital purchase costs on the umbilical system. While this may be suitable in some circumstances where the system is used on one farm and the additional reel spools are easily accessible from the spreading site, the limitations of this type of reeler system is that all the hoses cannot be carried with the spreading tractor/unit and left at the field side, something which in recent years SlurryKat has been extremely effective at - making the operation of the equipment by far the best available on the umbilical system market today.
This ease of use has been integrated into recent SlurryKat equipment designs from our vast 20+ years of slurry handling experience in our farm contracting division.
Transport of the drop out reel system from farm to farm may require additional equipment/trailers with this drop our reel type of system.
The reel is easily removed by removing 2 x locking pins than lowering the chassis to the ground and driving away. No drive mechanisms are required to be removed or connected to the reel, A unique proven and reliable Danfoss heavy duty hydraulic drive system is used on all SlurryKat hose reelers.
