Samson PG20 slurry tanker

[kolpen]

Here is the start of my new project. Actually I’m ‘still’ working on my plow, but I could’nt help it… -this project has been on my mind for years.

I’m planning on building a Danish made slurry tanker by the company SAMSON Agro.

Model: SAMSON PG 20 (20m3 – 5283US Gallon).


Video of the real deal:

My model will have the following functions;

- Rear 3pt. hitch
- Output for boom (attached to the 3pt) to fold
- Crane
- rotate
- bend x 2
- lift
- Pump
- in
- out
- Electronic steereable rearwheels
- Lights
- normal
- work
- brake
- beacon
- Eventually the frontwheels will be powered (+ 70 hp in real life)
- 4.9 liter or 1.29US gallon
- Plastic tube and fenders rest is brass and aluminum.

The wheels will be changed later, these is just to show how it will look....

For now, as you can see I have only got the tube and fenders. And that’s actually where it will be for a while. I’ll have to continue on my Kverneland 7 furrow plow.

Pictures to start this thread… plenty more to come!

looks like it is going to be a great build, I cant't wait to see the finished slurry tanker

Looking pretty cool

[Espeefan]

Wow. 70hp to power one of the axles on the 1:1 tank? That's pretty unique. We have larger tanks in North America, and I've never seen any that had powered axles. Are larger tractors not so common over seas?

Hi Anders!

Nice project! Will we see it at the Husum fair this year? ;)

[Madda]

That is one **** of a cool machine! Are you going to transport slurry with it?:D

Both, model and real life tanker look big. I wait to see the pics of the building, I'm curious how are you going to make all those functions working.

Keep it up:cool:

Hey Nathan, here's a link that show's how the trailer drive axle is set up,

great drawings! Sorry if I sound stupid, but what is slurry? Im just a city boy so no clue what all these farm machines are, but I do like them!!Your tractor is amazing! It would be cool if you built a front end loader for it after you finishe the plow and slurry tank..

[Snochaser]

Crawler07- That would be liquid poo.

[Espeefan]

Anders, is that a Proxxon mill in the back ground?

[kolpen]

I have 12 channels in the tractor. Placed by importance with the most important highest.

12 - steer
11 - gas
10 - sound
09 - sound decoder
08 - free
07 - esc output
06 - frontlift
05 - rearhitch
04 - servo output
03 - servo output
02 - servo output
01 - servo output


For the slurry tank I put in an 8 channel receiver. To use all but channel 6.
This gives me 7 channels. Then I put in the Gaupner Nautic Multiprop module on channel 1 to give an extra 4, that's 10 channels total. So the only connection to the tractor will actually be for the lights.


Yes, it's a Proxxon mill you see in the background.


Husum? will you be there this year?
For the tank, no! Maybe next year. This year I will only finish the plough :p

Hi Anders!
Yes, a friend and I will come to Husum...
I´ll take my 8330 JD with sub soiler and maybe a DEUTZ with a plow. My buddy will take a CLAAS Axion with manure spreader to the fair...
