Class job 👍

Thank you! Cheers! It’s not an ideal system but it does work well most of the time. As we get to the end of the winter it does get blocked up. We do have different ideas of alternative systems but we will cope with it for now thanks for your comments 👍

oh wow that is a big problem to have do you have a separator for your slurry as seen on another channel they are on the grant system not sure if it would work on your system but might be worth the look and what a driver that is skill

Hi Richard. We have to clean the tank out once a year. It is the straw and a badly designed underground tank that is the problem. We have looked into separation. It would not be cost affective for us on that building. The animals that are in there will all be turned out to grass and the building will be empty for 7 months of the year. Your question has got me thinking about something that may work with a separation system. The system you talk about in an other video is Tom Pemberton. His system is very good. They are struggling to get the muck out onto the fields too. We are in a similar situation. Thanks for your comments. You have got me thinking about a new idea. All the best. Richard 👍
