German term

Aufbaufass

German to English Tech/Engineering Agriculture
Another query from an agricultural machinery brochure, relating to a type of tanker used to spread slurry.

Eine Alternative zu Anhänge- oder Aufsattelfässern ist
der Einsatz eines Aufbaufasses (bis 15 m3) auf dem XXXX TRACTOR bzw. dem YYY TRACTOR (bei
gedrehter Kabine).

Any help greatly appreciated!
