After a year of testing, research and development with a prototype machine the production version is now available to fit the recently launched Challenger Terra-Gator 2244 and 3244 . The first 7 units have already been sold in Denmark.

The new Challenger Terra-Gator 2244 and 3244 can tow the NMS trailer while in dog walk mode. The trailer is equipped with a full NMS (nutrient management system) application controller, giving the ultimate in accuracy and user ability. The system utilizes the latest Falcon VT touch screen controller. The controller, also, has a SD-Data card slot for data transfer such as application maps etc. The system gives accurate speed related rate control ensuring the preset rate is applied at all times.

The NMS trailer Chassis has been designed to accommodate a large payload (27.5m³ / 6050 gallons) . The axle is fitted with air actuated brakes and Michelin 1050/50R32 MegaXBib, radial tyres. The tank is divided into two compartments and the sequence of unloading can be controlled by the operator.

The NMS trailer benefits from an extra large capacity manure cutter/filter, a 9m³/min Börger positive displacement pump, and Superload filling system, which means the tank is filled in the minimum time. The Superload is able to rotate through 125º,  and has three articulation points, plus a telescopic final section giving an extra 1.5m of reach if required.

The NMS trailer retains all the well proven and extensively tested attributes of the existing TerraGator range.
