Abbey Machinery is one of Ireland's largest and most respected manufacturers of agricultural equipment. Abbey Machinery was established by the Cavanagh family in 1947, a family which has a tradition in agricultural engineering dating back to the 19th Century.
Abbey slurry and manure handling equipment includes a range of vacuum slurry tankers from 4,000litre -- 20,000litre capacity which can be supplied with a choice of application systems i.e. Splash Plate, Trailing Hose, Trailing Shoe, Cereal Applicator and Injection.

Abbey Toppers are ideal for paddock topping or weed control keeping pasture fresh and meeting all the requirements of cutting and maintenance
Would you consider setting up a plant in North America ? Joint venture with slurrykat or something. Break into the North American market would be lucrative
I have 2 Abbey tankers 1 Abbey barrel spreader and an abbey feeder wagon I bought them all off ERIC TOWNEND MACHINERY,i went to order another tanker and was sad to learn abbey won't be delivering there again very disappointing
Is there no way of making that pipe at the back ( the one going to the trailing shoe) from sticking up so high in the air? It looks like it would get caught in overhanging branches and the like.
When your carrying that much weight 3 axles is better because your getting more wheels with less tonnage on them than less wheels with more tonnage. For instance, if you had 2 axles putting 10 tonnes of pressure on the ground, it would actually do more damage than 3 axles putting down 6 tonnes of preassure if you get what i'm saying.
Great looking tanker, but Abbey should have put the vacuum pump on the left side in front of the first wheel and have it hydraulically driven, seen an Abbey tanker at the Ploughing a few years back like that. Much safer without the deadly pto shaft.
Just get a PTO cover. With hydraulics, your sacrificing power for speed or speed for power. PTO will always be a far superior system in my eyes as long as people are safe around them. If your too cheap to buy a cover and too incompetant not to get too close while one is working minus a cover I don't think the PTO system is the problem.
