I'm learning as well George - never seen this before, but then never thought about it. Bit of time etc setting up, however much easier on the crops, plus of course once set up, no running back and forth filling and emptying. You need a remote to start and stop the pump on the Deer lol. Btw had a close look at one on Saturday. At my mates and one was there doing a bit of leveling.
Henry seems a nice bloke i could work with him no messing, the pipe lay out is a touch confusing on camera but i can imagine when your there on the ground its far easyer to get your head around. very interesting watching this on a crop, i wonder if you run down the pipe with your front wheel to empty it before its reeled up like the contractors do here?.
oh the wonderful slurry you get that on your hands and its there for a week.. eveytime you take a bite of your sandwich you will stink its a shit sandwich.
Good video George slurry pipes is a job you need to use your brain for setting up and changing fields. Around here the land is all hilly the pipes twist up and contract if you're not careful how you drag them. Quite honestly a very confusing and big faff of a job when you've got lots of pipe out.
A nearby farm keeps pigs indoors - probably over the winter to keep them warm and safe. The pigs crap and piss indoors. The crap is collected when bedding (straw) is cleaned up and replaced but the piss slowly drains off into an underground tank. Each week the underground tank is emptied by tractor tanker and taken to the huge open pit. We see George stirring and pumping from it in this video. They are using one tractor to stir the thickened and crusted waste in the open pit. Another tractor is powering a pump whilst parked beside the open pit. That pump is moving old pigs piss along a series of pipes to Georges tractor. He has his tractor in the middle of the system to help pull the pipes around as the end tractor (his boss) slowly trickles the piss over fields of crops. George has what is called a bull head on the back of his tractor. If he wasn't there the pipes would snap and break fittings off because they become very heavy with the piss in them. We see them adjusting the series of pipes here because they'll become knotted if they continue to the next part of the field. The waste piss is stored like this for several reasons. One is to let it concentrate and chemically stabilise. It reduces bulk by evaporation. Another is that they'd struggle to spread the piss from a tanker over the winter. It's heavy in tankers and would ruin the field soils. Younger crops can also be damaged by stronger fluids like this. Hope that helps!
well done George keep up the good work and please do more part 3 of this as i wont to see it :)

Glad you shared this George, I was curious how the piping system panned out in the field. I'm too used to tankers

Very different system in the Netherlands they use tankers with injectors, you need to pump it into the tanker !
Good video George.....
Great video George
George great job but bit long winded we just use tankers
slurry pumping is my favourite job on the farm is it yours
Super video thanks for sharing
well george do ye always leave the tractor on the pump unsupervised
Ha ha yeah I never thought that
You need a dirt bike and a rack to carry it on the tractor! That would save the wasted time walking back and forth.
That would be handy alright.
David Frankhauser yeah that how we do it in Holland
National farming directions are drawn on either the dirt of the Landy or the fenders 😂
nice video George
Is the crop damaged where u have drove on it or will it grow back up straight again?
Nah not much damage
oh the wonderful slurry you get that on your hands and its there for a week.. eveytime you take a bite of your sandwich you will stink its a shit sandwich.
your boss is a smart operator but I would tell him to consider a compressor to blow out the line it would make your day cleaner
Good video mate
There must be an easier way of doing this . Reel up the front? anyway nice video 🖒🖒
Are you piping digestate or slurry from the lagoon
lagoon
I mean whats being pumped out of the lagoon to the dribble bar
slurry
Looks far to dark to be slurry or might have bugs put in it
yeah
What claas is he I'm guessing 810 axion
model farmer 724 it's a 610 arion
You'll have to build a bike/motorcycle/4 wheeler carrier for the front of the tractors lol
is that claas henrys tractor
Joe Holgate yeah
Very nice George!
why don't use a slurry spreader?
olof granli it is better for the wheat because there is less compaction
It is interesting George but a little complicated.
You could do with a mountain bike to ride between tractors, Looks bloody knackering walking back and forth.
