Production is set to begin on a new Irish-made slurry tanker designed to help farmers access some of the island's toughest hills and softer, wetter ground more safely.

Equipped with a  ground-driven axel, the six-wheel-drive tanker by Slurry-TEK is expected to come to the market locally by the end of September.
