SlurryKat front mounted reelers enable the operator to increase the hose carrying capacity by up to 800 metres meaning the SlurryKat system is one of the highest capacity hose carrying systems available on the market.
All front mounted reelers come standard with 3pt linkage fittings but can also be offered as part of a quick attach/ detach A-frame system. Front weight carrying brackets can also be fitted for tractors that are not equipped with front linkage (200m front reelers only).
SlurryKat offer a wide range of mounted reels both for front and rear applications.
Drop Out Hose Reelers
Some of our clients in certain circumstances prefer to opt for interchangeable reel spools on their reelers. This is primarily to save on capital purchase costs on the umbilical system. While this may be suitable in some circumstances where the system is used on one farm and the additional reel spools are easily accessible from the spreading site, the limitations of this type of reeler system is that all the hoses cannot be carried with the spreading tractor/unit and left at the field side, something which in recent years SlurryKat has been extremely effective at - making the operation of the equipment by far the best available on the umbilical system market today.
This ease of use has been integrated into recent SlurryKat equipment designs from our vast 20+ years of slurry handling experience in our farm contracting division.
Transport of the drop out reel system from farm to farm may require additional equipment/trailers with this drop our reel type of system.
Reel size options available: 600m, 800m, 1000m, 1200m - Sizes to suit up to 8" Layflat Hose.
(Model Shown in Photo - 600m)
The reel is easily removed by removing 2 x locking pins than lowering the chassis to the ground and driving away. No drive mechanisms are required to be removed or connected to the reel, A unique proven and reliable Danfoss heavy duty hydraulic drive system is used on all SlurryKat hose reelers.
Mounted Reels - Models: FR 200, FR400 and FR600.
800m Dual Reel Front Reeler - Pro Pak
The SlurryKat Pro-Pak was specially designed by our contracting division where there was a need to carry more lay flat hose on the system without adding any extra weight to the rear of the tractor.
Rather than just manufacturing one larger front reeler that would greatly restrict maneuverability in and out of field gate ways, SlurryKat engineers had the Pro-Pak's innovative approach by adding a second reel to the existing and very popular 600m front reel.
This gives a very ergonomic reeling system that has all the benefits required from its purpose without compromise in any way. Capacities are available in 800m, 1000m & 1200m.
600m & 800m Front
1000m "Bak Pak"

The Bak-Pak combined with a front reeler provides an excellent package which provides 1000-1400m system that is very efficient. It comes standard with 360° swivel to allow hose to untwist, greatly simplifying field operation.
