We offer professional gooseneck tankers as single axle (LT), tandem (GT) and tridem (GT) for the CLAAS XERION. The LT (Little Tank) single-axle tanker can also be fitted to a JCB Fastrac with the enormous advantages of manoeuvrability and weight transfer. This means that the weight of the tanker is transferred directly to the trac. As a result, more traction is achieved in the field. In addition, the tractor can turn more than 90° in front of the tanker. Accordingly, the tractor-trailer combination can be brought back to working position more quickly after the headland. Less manoeuvring also means less soil compaction. The transport length of the tractor-trailer unit is also minimised.
The GT gooseneck tankers have been developed for the CLAAS XERION Trac and Trac VC type 783. As standard, the GT tanker (gooseneck) is manufactured as a tridem (30,000 l). The enormous advantage of a gooseneck tanker is its manoeuvrability and the weight transfer to the trac which is limited to a maximum of 15 tonnes. These 15 to are achieved on the one hand by a two-chamber system and on the other by unloading the first axle. It is therefore also possible to fit attachments up to 7 to, depending on the attachment length, without a negative vertical load.
As standard, the gooseneck tanker is equipped with a 9,000 l rotary piston pump from Vogelsang. With a 12,000 l rotary piston pump, the tanker's filling time is between 3.5 and 4 minutes. Even at relatively high speeds (10 km/h) and large strip widths (36 metres hose applicator), an application rate of 20 m³/ha is possible. The rapid emptying of the tanker results in an enormous increase in capacity, reason why especially BAUER professional customers opt for this technology. After all, in the professional sector it is not uncommon for the technology to be used 24/7.
