- Join along as we meet up with Zach Newton of Newton Ag service and he goes over some of the tips for manure Handling and common practices. Following a local farm accident the team at Newton Ag Service put on a 2 hour meeting and training with their crew, local farms and industry support. Here is a mix of that day and a more one on one examples. Appreciate Zach and his crew for leading by example and working every day to do better.
At first I thought Zach was arrogant when I first saw him months ago in your Mack parts search video. I was wrong and admit it. He is very focused with everything he does. Great video long but, Lots of information. I hope everyone watches it all the way through and takes it to heart. Thanks Zach n Chris!
Thank you very much Chris and Zach. This is very important to repeatedly remind everyone. It's alot like tractor safety everyone needs a refresher
Coming from years of fire/ems/hazmat, this type of training, awareness is invaluable for anyone in, around, and involved in any confined space and/or hazardous environment situation. Thank you all involved and you also for doing this, get the word, the motion out there.
Great video! Thank you Chris and Zack. Safety is no accident.
That was easily one of the most educational videos I've ever watched
I’m not sure if they are already on there but you could weld on a pipe somewhere on the tank so you always have the (shit hoe) with you.
A busy mind ..a thinking mind to make things safer for all ..Thanks to Zach and for Chris to bring it to the youtube world of farming ..Excellent video man
I hope this goes viral. Everyone who knows Zach knows he has a "need for speed" but his genuine safety concern (and willingness to spend money on it) is humbling....
hey Zach and Chris, good to show the safety aspect in a video from experience and not from paper.
What I haven't heard and it is important, if you work in or under a piece of equipment, always remove the key and put it in your pocket. This means that someone else can never accidentally start, activate or drive away with the piece of equipment. A small effort that comes with a lot of safety in return.
Once again you're both doing a great job with this video, good luck with everything!
greetings from the Netherlands
Good content. Safety and taking chances with tankers should always be top of mind when dealing with liquid manure.
Thanks Zach and Chris for the timely reminder.
Great video, Chris. Thank you, Zach. Safety first . Zach is such a cool guy . So much knowledge about everything
Great work Duffy. Glad to see the safety aspect of your work been shown. Goes to show you just never know when your last breath might be. Please stay safe.
This is great and glad you guys care enough to share this!!! You could be saving someone's life without even knowing it!!!
Safety is always first. Every farmer needs to remember before doing dangerous things think first on Safety.
I like how Zac talks no messing about
Thanks Chris and Zach for taking the time to do this!!!! Awesome training!!!!!
The one thing zack didn't mention is ALWAYS remember H2S is heaver than air so when you open that fan door DO NOT BEND OVER and place your head down by that door because where is that door located the very lowest point .but other than that great vidio . I should say I work in the oilfields for 15 yrs so I'm very educated in H2S it's nothing to take for granted
Phenomenal, well done and great way to help everyone. Thank you.
Great safety demonstration. The first rule of confined space work is to do everything you can to avoid it.
We always drive fast and take chances. Safety 3rd is our motto…😂 J/K. Thanks for posting Chris, and great job Zack for taking the time and spending the extra money to help keep everyone safer 👍🏻
Thank you both for getting this safety advice out there.👍🏻
This is a good video, and a lot of things that I think a lot of farmers and workers would benefit from to watch, a lot of these things are applicable to farmers all over the world, especially the safety with going into a tank or similar
I've done hauling shit & haulage for over 30 years it needed a refresher I have forgotten so always the short cut THANK YOU
Doing a safety run on tankers is wonderful.
Great video. Your safety is extremely important for all who work on farm
Testing air before entering a confined space is essential. Amazing how often that is over looked when it comes to farming.
Awesome information Chris ive hauled and spread liquid manure never realized how dangerous it is. I pulled a calf from the pit once and never thought that the fumes could kill me. Washed out our tank never thinking about the fumes inside when i went in. Thanks Chris have a good day.
Very good information ! Safety is overlooked way too often !
great safety lecture. I am sure the new people learned and it is also good for a refresher course for the VET 's .
Hey Chris. You better keep Zack on your side because that guy is one smart SOB. That is way he has done so well in life. Chris you keep doing things the way you are doing them and you will be just like Zack very well off. But it take hard work to get there and you are not afraid of work. Keep up the great videos.
I work in grain industry not manure or hay. But my god man what a powerful vedio!!! Well done! Thanks for both of you.
I'm in the septic business.We deal with hydrogen sulfide but not as often as manure haulers.Cleaning out septic tanks that haven't been cleaned for years. I had a septic tank with a frozen lid.I heated the cover with a propane torch hooked to a 20 lb tank. Blew the cover twenty feet in the air and burnt my eyebrows.Now I pour water on a frozen cover and heat that,so flames don't ignite the tank when cover pops loose.The wingnuts on my manholes.I keep greased.They sell a wingnut with threaded stud eye bolt that has grease fittings.Easier to maintain.
Great video, thanks to Newton Ag and everyone involved, I was wondering if there was a safety program for you guys. All of the safety devices are great, the only thing I can think of maybe adding is wheel chocks if you have to work under the tilt frame along with those frame stands but if your in a field and its soft if the truck actually starts rolling it may push the wheel chocks in the ground so they would have to be a decent size but then that makes them harder to store on the truck. Nobody is ever too old to learn.
Chris, that was a great video safety never should be the second thought!!
I’m glad they did that. In fact we should do that around us. Not much grain bins or combine. Lots of balers and feed bins for chicken houses
I seen your video with this guy back in the winter and it was great
I've worked for utlx going in and out of tankcars for 40 plus yrs seen nitrogen blankets and hydrogen sulfide gas kill a lot of people in the industry it can happen so easily I was not happy when u cleaned your tank duffy. I'm glad you were at thistheres so many verables to tank entry and confined spaces. Let alone rescue
Good video!! Can never be too safe!
Excellent video! Newton ag is top notch!
5 stars to you duff for taking the time to put this together, and especially thanks to Zach of Newton Ag. Safety is so important even in such a stickin job like handling and operating manure equipment. Zach showed several items I didn't know about and will dig in to. I know they cost $$$$, but I hope you invest in one of those oxygen meters duffy. Might save you or one of your helpers life.
Thanks for posting
Great safety meeting. I work in plants with large tanks we had to ware suffers all the time .
No disrespect best video still like the other ones thanks for getting this video out
Can never be safe enough around slurry, one aspect i would like to highlight is the initial agitation of the slurry in the pit. What was safe years ago, is now not safe because of higher horsepower tractors. I, in the late 1970s as young lad would give an entire Saturday morning mixing a slurry pit 60' x70' feet with a 70hp tractor. Any gas that came off the slurry had time to escape and dissipate. Now my nephews can mix this same pit in less than 30 minutes with a better adgitator and 250 pto hp. The affect of this is the same quantity of gas is realeased over a shorter time and the plume of gas has a higher concentration, with the result it can be lethal to people/ livestock further away downwind from the agitation pit.
Thats my tuppence worth on slurry, keep up the videos, Chris
Great video!!! You go to work with all your fingers and toes 2 arms and legs the best days are the ones you go home with all of them!!
One important thing to remember when using a multi gas meters with a pump and sampling hose. You need to wait a strong second per foot of hose for the air sample to get to the meter before the meter can get a reading. Example, if your hose is 8', wait 8-10 seconds. Biggist mistake people make is take a reading, take a reading, take a reading and find no change. The air from the first reading has not had a chance to get to the meter yet. Take you time. Second mistake, let the meter fresh air clear before taking your next reading or shutting it off.
A lot of well stated information. Not a lot of safety salley bs. We all need to remember that it usually isn’t the things we do the first time that kills us it’s the tasks we do multiple times that kill us
Jach is a very intelligent and interesting individual.✌️❤️🤘🇺🇲
Don't forget the h2s and O2 meters have to calibrated routinely, possibly monthly! If it is not within the calibration date it may not give a true reading.
These specific models have the ability to self calibrate every time it is turned on/ and yes very important every 2 years to update/calibrate
Great video
Great video. Is there an option to weld some heady duty “D” rings on the rear of the frame and to rear of the dump bed. Then use a heavy duty chain to secure the bed to the frame. I see them used on off road dump trucks when there doing same type maintenance under the dump bed.
Great video and good info to know
We've had the yellow style of the dump bed jacks at our shop for quite a few years. You just need to bump the release cable and that could be the end of you. Building vs buying a quality safety Jack it will more than likely be certified.
Great content that maybe life saving👍👍👍
Great video Chris! Thank you for putting this on your channel; great reminder for us older and so call experience guys. The problem with being older and being experience, while you may have seen it all, this in return makes you sloppy and when combined with letting your guard down with safety; can have some major negative consequences.
Chris ,you need to get some gopro 🎤 's so we can hear everything better .Good seminar, other than can't hear it very well.
I like this guy he is safety oriented straight up about saving lives. He missed a thing or two but still a ton of great information. Maybe it’s not ventilation maybe it was a ghost. You don’t really know. Lmao.
Great Chris great explanations thank you for sharing with us very educational there is so much to no you don't just haul and go or just clean out or enter tank thank you Chris and all your friends.
Would it be possible to weld a couple of bars across the man doors and fill points in the top to stop someone getting in to the tank
A greaseless plate that goes between the fifth wheel and the plate on the trailer I pull a live bottom trailer grossing 117,000 every day full of blacktop and we going to corners and when you don't disconnect the truck from the trailer it's hard to grease the fifth wheel I put the plate on 2 years ago and I have not had a problem yet
Yes but if your hoses and power line are long enough you dont even have to fully pull away from the trailer to toss some grease on the 5th wheel once a week then slide back under the trailer do a tug test lift the landing gear and go back to work...we used to do it right before heading home on a friday night when I pulled belly dump and end dumps hauling asphalt.
So you can walk around the back just walk out far enough to be in the safe zone. Nobody mentioned that. You can go around a shorter way by going around back just make sure your at least 10’ away from the back of the truck box gate. It’s shorter and faster than going around the front and you are still safe.
Is use a wire brush to use for welding to clean the threads
Excellent
Monitors are required in European manure facilities. You wear them clipped to clothing.
Hey I can also tell you that you can remove the handle from your hoe and weld a piece of electrical conduit or any lightweight. Steel to it for a handle to make it 8’ 10’ 12’ and length you want to make your clean out hoe. I have a steel straight rake with a 9’ electrical conduit handle that I used for concrete and dirt work that I never broke the handle now I bent it several times and as long as you don’t link it you can gently bend it right back.
hey chris i could use some help ik your from MA n moved i need a easy way to get to westport ma
Sounds like adding a couple replacement dillar hatches would be life saver and a long handle hoe
The large farm i help, they don't use sand because of plugging problems and it wares stuff out too fast. They also now use H and S live bottom silage bodies, me not knowing much and thinking they were slow like the front unloads, and a dump body would be faster! Boy was i wrong, dump is so slow and dangerous! Their manure tankers have no man holes in them, in my time there have not heard of any reason to get in them anyway! But we do need class on hooking up trailers properly!
Great video Chris. It’s all about coming home to your family’s each night. Stay safe my friend.🙏❤️🙏
Preying for the two men lost family and can move on.
This isn't the company you haul with is it??
This is good advice to know but I find it a little funny. Especially when you was just in a manure tank cleaning it out. Cutting with no safety glasses and burned your eyes. Follow what you preach.
Sounds like someone lost their life recently near you. 🙏🏽 to those who knew them
If you noticed we opened all the ports and didn't go further then fresh air. Waited over night before going in to cut. I cut with a helmet but had some issues. Nothing funny about it or the lose of people
Here no farm contractors can operate without a valid safety cert yearly.🇮🇪☘️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's Europe. Differences in our regulations compared to Usa is sometimes kinda sad.
I see 2 guys died together in ny few weeks ago 😢😢 sad. Shit tanks are more dangerous than people think
🚜🌾
I live in Alberta Canada fuck Trudeau, but H2 us is a instant killer. I’m sure if he googles and research he can find cheaper gas sniffers that you can actually wear on your chest. It’s up to you to research it and you can get plenty of them for way cheaper than what he saying that $1500 US.
Your buddy is doing a really bad job off the pinchpoints on a hoisted dump truck or a green truck or a whatever this is where I go wrong with him because this it’s so simple to solve the pinpoint and he missed it. Trust me I got over 35 years of experience to run heavy equipment, and around all kinds of potential tragedies, which I prevented , just because I was paying attention
His main point is think of a different way instead of going in first
At least nothing broke on the farm lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's because Duffy Fag didn't work on anything today
Almost like the Demo Biden debate....can't understand word or hear what he saying
That's why we talked about it in depth more. Each clip of the day they put it on is covered
It's funny how I, a non native english speaker can understand him perfectly. :D
Turn on the closed captions.
I understand everything said. Maybe ya clean the crap out of your ears 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I understood everything. Get your ears checked.
Sorry this was dumb and why swear
