Three Seasons, Zero Downtime

Lyons Contracts use the multi-award-winning SlurryKat umbilical system for their slurry spreading operations. In just three seasons, they've successfully spread over 45 million gallons using just their 15m Premium Plus™ dribble bar alone, without a single part being replaced on the SlurryKat macerators.

"In three full seasons we have spread over 45 million gallons from the 15m dribble bar and the macerators are still working perfectly without a part being changed," explained Stephen Lyons.

This is testament to SlurryKat's robust build quality. Every machine is manufactured using premium materials and rigorously tested at our industry only Research and Development centre on site, ensuring your equipment works as hard as you do for all farming scenarios, for many years to come. This means you know your SlurryKat machinery will do the job in the field and help you save on maintence and downtimes, getting more jobs done.

Increased, Reliable Productivity

"Delivery hose blockages are virtually non-existent," continued Lyons. The SlurryKat uniquely designed, ventilated dribble bars are designed and manufactured to allow even flow of matter across all nozzles from start to end, greatly reducing blockages and cutting down on service time. Combined with the SlurryKat robust, spring loaded, self-sharpening macerators, our equipment keeps you spreading, further and faster, with no fuss.

"The Best Dribble Bar"

Stephen further added, "The SlurryKat dribble bar is the best dribble bar we have ever used." The SlurryKat dribble bar come in two ranges (Premium Plus™ and Farmline) and in sizes from 7.5m to 24m to suit all farmers and contractors alike. They deliver accurate, even, low-emission slurry spreading, applying matter to the plant for maximum nutrient uptake and minimal crop disruption.

Built on 30 Years of Contracting Experience

"We have been running SlurryKat equipment for years and it always delivers, again and again. It's efficient, tough, and built to last," said Stephen. At SlurryKat, our machinery is backed by our own 30 years of contracting and manufacturing experience, meaning every machine is made with real-world use in mind. Our equipment is tough, strong and built to last. We know our customers wants and needs because we've experienced it too.

Quick & Easy Spreading

Spreading with SlurryKat offers a cleaner, faster and more efficient method of slurry application. The SlurryKat front and BakPak™ reelers allow Lyons Contracts to roll out the durable, number one leading, umbilical Oroflex hose "quickly and easily," allowing slurry to be applied far from the source. "The whole system is easy to use and allows us to work quickly and easily, meaning we get more jobs done," said Stephen. Coupled with the SlurryKat patended couplings and DODA pumps, Lyons Contracts can provide their customers a secure, high output operation, even at great distances and harder to reach areas.

Tankers That Tick The Boxes

"Our SlurryKat tankers are great. They're light to pull, transport well, built strong and always perform. We get quick fill and empty times, high output and they're easy on fuel too," added Stephen. 

As with all SlurryKat machinery, our tankers are built from the highest quality materials. We use high-tensile steel that is tough, durable and long lasting, whilst being light in weight. This offers our customers maximum efficiency, excellent transporting abilities and a high performance machine. Our tankers come with numerous optional extras that mean your tanker can be customer built to suit your exact farming needs.
