The use of a spreading implement, such as an injector, makes it impossible to see the slurry coming out of the tank. This is why JOSKIN was the first manufacturer to offer a level gauge on all its slurry tankers from the 1980s. Today, there are several possibilities: a 2" half-circular sight glass, an 8 x 30 cm oblong sight glass with a choice of location, a float gauge or a Ø 150 mm transparent communicating gauge.
As an option, it is possible to equip your vehicle with a load transfer system. In this case, a hydraulic ram is connected to the 3rd point of the tractor, as well as to a 3-point device on the machine. This hydraulic ram, together with a hydropneumatic drawbar suspension, is operated from the tractor cab. When activated, the ram rod pushes the tractor third point forward, increasing the load on the front axle. This gives the tractor more grip. The effect is somewhat comparable to that created by a front counterweight. This grip system is especially useful in difficult terrain conditions.
Models over 3 m wide are equipped with a double-acting hydraulic folding system in order to meet the required transport width. It should also be noted that this system is, in this case, equipped with the Lock-Matic© automatic locking device to make your road travel as safe as possible. This device is controlled by the same hydraulic function as the folding system, through steered valves.
The Solodisc XXL is fitted with 20 mm thick self-sharpening discs with a diameter of 400 mm that are assembled on hubs with large watertight conical bearings (which can be tightened up). Made up of metal, rubber and NBR nitrile, these discs are extremely sturdy and ensure a long lifespan to the Solodisc XXL. Specially designed for JOSKIN, they are lighter than solid models for an equivalent sturdiness. Thanks to their diameter, the required traction power is also less high.
