Muck-Spreading the Solids - well, sort of !

A beautiful day and very little wind. Heard that Hancock Bros., contractors from Pembrokeshire, were in the area. With some help from Danyrheol and another. Loads of spreaders required as the haul is a long one and across a busy dual-carriageway.
We start with the farm and the loading. Hancock's JCB busy in pit and a procession of spreaders coming to load up.
Thanks to Rhys for the tip and the others, too.
Filmed in Carmarthenshire, Wales, UK.

Top kit here, nice shovel too.

Great one Alan! The muck is like liquid manure. Never seen this before.

[@balmesh]

Thanks Hans. That muck IS liquid manure.

[@Philschmid6453]

balmesh semi solid actually its whats left after the liquid is pumped off the top if it is'nt agitated, that kind of stuff is tricky to handle not quite liquid not quite solid but quite a pain

[@balmesh]

Phil schmid
Absolutely. I haven't seen a fork on a loader for years - it's always buckets these days and you can see why.

[@fergie35X]

Great video. Good operator on the JCB, using his mirrors properly.
The JCB is on an 08 plate so in answer to down below, it is a 2007/2008 model.

[@balmesh]

Thanks very much.

[@dvolvoman]

Nice one Alan,thank you.
Want a good sealed spreader for that muck.

[@balmesh]

Thanks Paul. They were being VERY careful not to overload, and spill any.

[@donalmcshane5373]

Thanks Donal - you're right, too.

[@jimmy2ice]

Hancock bros, Pembrokeshire somewhere. They got a lot of kit.

[@balmesh]

pher James
Yes, thanks, but said that in my description! Don't you read it?

[@jimmy2ice]

+balmesh just says spreading muck. Sort of. But as usual a very good video.

[@Tuzonline101]

Slurry, the hardest type of shit to spread, you snap a shear bolt or just open the door to quick and that's a hell of a mess

[@flattotheheadland]

Nice video. Was the more liquid stuff pumped out prior to this or what way does it work? Or would it not make more sense to agitate it through out the year and spread it all as slurry?

[@balmesh]

The slurry was pumped out before - see yesterday's video on it. As for "more sense" who knows best? You, me, or the farmer on the spot?

[@chrisvda88]

good vid. looks like a lot of cows on that farm. Maybe sand bedding?

[@balmesh]

I think you're right.

[@ronancoskun6305]

Ver cery cool video balmesh! In germany they dont do something like this ;)

[@balmesh]

How do they get rid of muck in Germany then?

[@ronancoskun6305]

With a in german ,,Saugbagger,, ☺

[@ronancoskun6305]

In english: Here we use a suction dredger for that 👍

[@balmesh]

Landwirtschaft HD
Never seen that. Have you got a video?

[@ronancoskun6305]

Yeah maybe...i have to wait 3 months than i have a video of this

[@nuahtransit5858]

Is this a digester or storage ? It wouldn't be better to use closed storage with piping out let ,save u time ,energy and clean environment

[@balmesh]

It was 4 years ago!! Not my farm, anyway.

[@randymaylowski2485]

nice video of that :) and nice looking machines :) and that way is a lot easier and faster than doing it the old way, by hand, .lol because I have done that before and it's not fun. ...lol :) lmao,

[@balmesh]

+Randy Maylowski
Thanks Randy. No, slow and tedious is the old way.

[@randymaylowski2485]

balmesh oh I thought the old way, wouldove been the hardest way, but inerways you are welcome for the comment.:)

[@blazej6507]

Nice 5/5

[@balmesh]

Thanks again.

[@petertillings]

anouther grate video.. how does it spread . it doesn't have the things like a solid muck spreader or a the back or the pump like a slurry tanker

[@balmesh]

+peter tillings Rotary motion down the middle throws it out at the top, or in some cases, out of the side.

[@petertillings]

+balmesh ah thanks just found it in another video of yours.

[@TheGreatBritishFarm]

Nice video
BTW what year is that big JCB

[@balmesh]

Thanks GBF, but sorry, no idea.

[@kevinpoole5844]

why don't they weld some flat on that bucket to stop the slurry coming back over would keep everything much cleaner

[@balmesh]

+New Holland Power
Perhaps they use the bucket for other things?

[@kevinpoole5844]

Maybe so a bolt on piece would be good I guess

[@liljosh4463]

Lol well isn't that a bit t of a crapy day 😂

[@lepaul26]

No spreader action filmed ?

[@balmesh]

+lepaul26 - Definitely. Keep watching or go back a bit?

[@lepaul26]

+balmesh ? What do you mean? I see no spreaders in action in this video, no ?

[@ceiranodonnell361]

how often do you empty it

[@balmesh]

+Ceiran ODonnell
I don't.

[@deborasilva1031]
