Glad you enjoyed the video! Meyer puts quality ahead of price while still trying to be price competitive. We've got dealers in VA & I'll guess that you're in the Shenandoah Valley somewhere so check with Winchester Equipment, Beverage Tractor or Binkley & Hurst.
Where I work in central California we use cat 325 long reach excavators with 65ft reach and custom built buckets to clean out dairy lagoons. I think we could almost clean out that entire pit with it. Also I believe we could load those spreaders in 2.5 to 3 scoops.
Tulare Co. / Central Valley of CA is a whole different world than Lancaster Co. PA & surrounding area! Everything is big out there & everything is small in here.
Why the excavators are always using their stock bucket and not a bucket with a bigger volume ? Teeth are useless here for this job,and thay could go quicker moving material. Could a bigger bucket would be supported by the machine ? I don't know about density of the material here.
Well, it’s fine sand completely saturated with water & manure so it’s heavy. When this sand & manure is still a semi-liquid & able to be pumped, you should figure a minimum of 12 pounds per gallon.
Started at 9:00 & done at 3:00. I get to different farms due to my job - territory manager for Meyer Manufacturing - and through connections at church & in the local community.
Farmer wasn't using / doesn't use a dragline; but yes, with multiple agitators the sand could be suspended enough to pump through a dragline. You have to balance the cost / wear of adequate agitation vs. dipping it out. No agitation system ever gets it as clean as putting a skid steer on the floor!
crane, or if its light enough the excavator can do it. Where I work we clean out dairy lagoons in central California and we use cat 325 excavators with a 65ft long reach setup. With it all tucked in we can lift 5 to 8,000lbs at the end of the boom, good for lifting float pumps and agitators in and out.
This channel is sooooooo underrated
Great video. I farm in Virginia and need a real good manure spreader. I love the way your Meyer spreader looks and broadcast material.

@jonniessink1 I live here in tipton California in the valley it’s about 15 minutes from tulare south who do you work for
Хороший вариант, как для ферм, так даже и для поселений, если использовать хорошие санитарные средства.

@@rewingjohnson Thanks.
How long did it take them to empty the pit?

Is there no way to agitate the sand enough to get it to go through the dragline with the manure?

Started about 9:00 and finished about 3:00

How did they get the skid loader in?

need a sand recycler
I wonder how much pit gas the wheel loader operator was breathing in if any being in the pit
good question! Definitely something to be careful with as the most dangerous gas is heavier than air.
does that stink?
"Stink" is a very relative term, don't you agree?
