Requirements in European countries for the manufacture and use on public roads of manure spreaders and slurry tankers

The paper is a collection of information which is useful to emphasise the existing differences between some European Countries' regulations concerning the requirements related to the construction and the use on public roads of manure spreaders and slurry tankers used in agriculture. The survey shows that there aren't many differences in dimensions permitted. On the contrary, the maximum permitted mass of these special types of trailers can vary a lot from one Country to another. This fact can affect the costs of livestock farms the competition among European manufacturers of agricultural machines.
