Custom mobile fuel solutions that keep pumping equipment dust-free at AB Contract Farming, NSW
AB Contract Farming are a harvest contracting business that services the Moree, Narrabri, Walgett and surrounding areas in the Parkes region of NSW. Working in remote, dusty paddocks, they approached Durotank looking for a mobile fuel solution that included a lockable fuel pump with a high flow rate that would keep their pumping equipment clean and free of dust.
Requirements for AB Contract Farming
AB Contract Farming lives and breathes John Deere Equipment. They wanted a reliable fuel trailer and had their hearts set on a customised solution delivered in green and gold to match their existing John Deere machinery fleet. AB Contract Farming needed to keep up with the restrictive time demands of their harvesting and sowing work, so a fast turnaround time on delivery was crucial.
Solution
Durotank suggested the biggest unit that their land cruiser could tow, a 2,500L Poly Diesel Trailer. The trailer came with a lockable pump bay, customised in the desired John Deere green and gold colours. AB Contract Farming was also looking for a pump with a high flow rate, so this unit was paired with a Honda driven pump at 100LPM. The Poly Diesel Trailer was the perfect solution as it is sturdy and can be used for off-road and on-road projects.
They were so pleased with their purchase that 3 years later, AB Contract Farming reapproached Durotank to purchase another 2,500L Poly Diesel Trailer. Their fleet had expanded, and they required higher volumes of mobile fuel.
This time they also required a refuelling solution at the site where their machinery and vehicles are serviced, before returning to the field. Durotank considered both the space at the site and how much fuel they would use before suggesting a 3,000L Smart Cube. The Smart Cube is designed for storing smaller diesel volumes around sheds or houses with high traffic areas. This made it the ideal solution for refuelling their machinery and vehicles after being serviced. Staying true to the AB Contract Farming vision, it was also built in the beloved green and gold custom colours.
The importance of keeping their refuelling area as clean as possible was still a high priority for AB Contract Farming so Durotank paired the 3,000L Smart Cube with a Single Door Lockable cabinet.
Ben Harris Director of AB Contract Farming added,
“Durotank builds one of the best fuel trailers I have ever used. The build quality, engineering and attention to detail are unreal. The fuel trailer is rock solid, it tracks extremely well full of fuel at 100km/hr and it’s roadworthy. All of the fittings are hoses are high-quality hydraulic hoses and crimped fitting so there are no leaks. The Durotank team is very easy to deal with and more than happy to help with any enquiries. The staff are friendly and it is a pleasure to do business with them. I’d buy another one in a heartbeat, that’s for sure”

Joe Valesini - AUS Inds Customer Relationship Manager Motion
We had a great experience working with Durotank on our order for a 2,400L water cart trailer, set up for firefighting and tree watering. Their team was responsive throughout the process and delivered exactly what we needed on schedule, despite a very tight timeframe. The build quality is excellent - it’s clear a lot of care and expertise went into the manufacturing. We also value being able to support an Australian-made company and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Durotank for both their product quality and service.
Joel Courtney – APMS Operations
We considered many other brands of diesel tank but quickly settled on Durotank - they ticked all the boxes. An Australian-made, self bunded quality tank with the ability to load and transport on-site whilst full is a winner.
The team communicated professionally with us regarding modifications and build timing. We will certainly use Durotank again and would confidently recommend them to others.
Andrew Reeves, Ethtec
We had a great experience working with Durotank in purchasing our service trailer, from the enquiry stage to the delivery date the Durotank team were pleasant and very professional. Emily from the sales team answered any and all questions we had about specs and options, working with us to meet expectations and budget limitations. The production team kept us well informed of build schedule and approximate delivery dates. Overall we highly recommend the Durotank team if your looking for a service trailer, value for money is second to none and the quality is top notch.
Aaron Asquith - Leading Hand - Rental Komatsu Australia, Truganina Branch VIC
We purchased Durotank’s 2400 Litre poly water trailer with fire-fighter pump and hose reel, plus optional dribble bar and batter sprays attached.
Our property, Duxton Farm, borders the Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. Because of this, early season burning is extremely important to prevent uncontrollable bushfires later in the dry season. The trailer has been an invaluable asset to fire control – always full and ready to go when the call comes.
We’ve found it to be well balanced, empty or full, with the baffle ball system effectively controlling surge. We have had no issues with set-up, towing it with either a Landcruiser or Hilux.
Overall, we’re extremely happy with our purchase and the support from the Durotank team. We’ll be back.

I purchased a Poly Tank Fuel Trailer from DUROTANK in April 2018. DUROTANK builds one of the best fuel trailers I have ever used. The build quality, engineering and attention to detail is unreal. The fuel trailer is rock solid, it tracks extremely well full of fuel at 100km/hr and its road worthy. All of the fittings are hoses are high quality hydraulic hose and crimped fittings so there are no leaks. The Durotank team is very easy to deal with and more than happy to help with any enquiries.

Ben Harris – AB Contract Farming
The Duro Cubes are going extremely well! My guys are very happy with them. Having them already saved us on oil transport on at least 2 occasions so far and has also allowed us to restructure our oil work days and use out of hours oil deliveries to make more efficient use of the time on site.

As a business owner I would highly recommend DUROTANK to any person who is serious about saving money, purchasing and storing their own fuel in bulk, particularly in today’s challenging economic times. DUROTANK supplied us an excellent quality Australian made fuel tank built to the specs that suited out business. Our staff love how easy it is to use and how much time it saves refuelling each week. We purchased the Smartfill System with it and its definitely a worthwhile investment both for use and fuel management. The aftersales service from DUROTANK has been outstanding.
