The new Joskin articulated pumping arm is a compact, comfortable and multifunctional filling solution that attaches to the front linkage of the tractor.
Thanks to a pumping height that can reach 4.5m and to the unit’s 3m long pumping arm, it’s possible to easily pump at the edge of fields both from a slurry tanker, a transport tank or a container fitted with a funnel and from a overhead tank fitted with a funnel. The double-acting cylinder connecting both parts of the pumping arm allows it to move through a range of 100 degrees.
The cylinder is operated from a spool valve in the tractor, while the other functions of the arm (pump, valve and so on) are usually connected to the spreader control block, which allows a perfect synchronisation of the control operations during the filling phase.
Thanks to this arm, pumping is easier and the driver has a better visibility when filling. Most of the time, the driver does not even have to fold the spreading tool back in transport position when pumping.
Slurry is sucked up through a 200mm pipe and is helped along by a turbo-filler that’s mounted in a compact way at the base of the arm that speeds up the passage of slurry. A protection plate at the end of the turbo-filler protects the hydraulic motor in case of contact with the ground.
The new articulated pumping arm can easily be hitched on the front linkage, and when unhitched it rests in a stable way on its two stands. The unit’s weight of 455kg ensures a long lifespan.
