CertifiedHoarder he's backwashing the filter

Those are some good ones 😂. Hot Chocolate anyone 😂

+Gafarmer7410 thanks

Thank you for watching.

Thank you.

I'm just glad this doesn't smell like hog manure lol

lol! that's hilarious!

+larsonvalleyfarm cheaper at the very least lol

thedonleroy I was loading manure for my did and something smelled worse than shit and i seen I was loading a dead sheep into the spreader and I had about enough at that point

Thanks, we keep it inside. We did it over when we bought it in ‘89, it’s stayed pretty well so far I think.

+Kjetil Blestrud thank you, it could use a little bit of work but nothing crazy, put a new cab interior in it last winter.

It's not bad just sitting there in the pit, but once you stir it or start spreading it on the fields you can certainly smell it lol. Barn clothes always have a smell to them, not allowed near the furniture until I change clothes lol

Xenomorph1111{

I grew up in a farm and it is true you don't notice the smell. After a few years away from a farm you will be asking yourself: Why, I never noticed the smell before????

my grandfather used to say "it smells like money"

+VancouverCanucksRock lol, not bad 👌

+darlene collins thank you

+Jan Kotze we do both so I have a pretty good idea lol 🤑 thanks for watching!

+Jake Ziegler lol yeah it grows pretty good on top of that, probably should spray it to kill it off before mixing the weeds all in the shit. Going for a swim in that wouldn't be much fun i don't think lol

She's a beast! Been a good tractor for us over the years.

Slap a turbo on that puppy,... we had a 1130, torque monster!

+Lowell M 1105 is turbo I think it was the 1100 that was NA.

Mac Farms The 1100 was non-turbo. 1100 and 1130 we're older versions of the 1105 and 1135, non turbo vs Turbo. The 1105 that I was familiar with was non-turbo.

As far as I know all 1105's should have a turbo, I know mine does, it's factory. Maybe there were some early ones that didn't, mine is a '75

Lol I know

+mendy badgett doubt it lol blowing silage is harder on it than this and it’s been doing that for 25 years.

+Soybean Farmer Lol, would take more than a couple i bet.

Mac Farms I alright so what's the point

+Nolan Riegsecker point of what ?

Great video right up there with watching paint drying

Pokey

Yeah the length of it puts a lot of leverage on the tractor. It could use front weights but even with a full rack she'd be light on the front I think

Yeah not as bad as last time though I think it was about 6ft thick then lol.

Have several other tractors. 3650 Massey is a bit better but still needs weight on front end, would like to try our 6710 White on it. Need something around 150hp and MFWD w/ weights on front.

Mac Farms wasn't knocking your tractor. Just commenting the idea 2 is better than one. Parking brake and several planned safety tricks, one could run 2 non moving tractors with PTO engaged to do a 4 hr job in 1.5 hrs

Ah I see, 2 tractors rather than twice as big of a tractor. Certainly do-able just a matter of finding another stir stick. There isn’t many around, most people just rent them rather than buy their own.

Yeah it would that’s a good idea

+John Toothman yes just need pontoons now lol

Mac Farms That is the coolest farm tool I've ever seen!!

I need one those to stir shit up at work!!! Lol

+John Toothman haha it’s a gooder. Should have no problem stirring up shit anywhere you go 😂

Mac Farms lmao... so true

It’s PTO Driven. Not sure how many without looking at it, has to be 4 or so. Shaft size I’d have to look at it inside the housing, I’m pretty sure the input shaft on it is 1 3/4” but whether it’s the same all the way to the prop or not I don’t know. We service the stick in the fall before it gets put away for winter. It’s just a matter of checking the fluid in. The gear box on it and greasing the u joints. Servicing it isn’t bad, hit it with the pressure washer and all the grease zerks are under covers. No big deal really.

Mac Farms thanks

+Swamp Rat yeah it’s one hell of a shit disturber 😂

+Jeff Gannon tell me about it lol. The top of it will get hard, frost in it kind of like the soil, the water underneath says liquid though. As more manure goes in it the frozen solids layer just floats up on top of it.

We did level it out I guess it must have been after this video though.

+speedbuggy16v yes that crust on top would be excellent for a garden. Massey could probably use about a half ton on the front of it lol

I am working on an idea of raised beds built out of IBC totes with a lower portion filled with manure tea and pumps set up on a timer fed with reclaimed water from a rainwater collection system. With two people to feed that dont care for weeding, I am always looking for ways to make gardening easier. I was sure you were going to trade some rubber for paint going by the barn, LOL.

+Dan Fike should make a difference, it did last year for sure.

Regulations here in Nova Scotia state that it can't be within 100m (330ft) from a lake, river or brook if it's non-contained storage (solid manure) or 50m (165ft) if it's contained storage (liqiuid or semi-solid) which is what this is. Where our pit is at it's actually 750ft+ from the ocean, and it would have to cross a public highway (ditched on both sides) to reach the water. I don't know what the regulations are in other countries or even provinces, it's hard enough following my own area.

Yeah it looks ridiculously close to the water.Over here we're not even allowed 750ft from a small stream let alone a lake or even the ocean! We'd be arrested and jailed for attempting it. It amazing how the law changes from one country to the next.

+The Spider Kelly what country do you live in?

Ireland, we're heavily governed by Europe.

Interesting. I did some google searching out of curiosity I couldn't find much on storage regs there, mostly where you can spread it. Which definitely seemed a bit more strict than here. Anyway, all we can do is meet our own regulations, can't get too far from the ocean anyway, living on an island lol.

yeah we need some weights for the front of it in a bad way it's all kinds of sketchy lol

+Wrangler of course 👍

Wrangler potate

+Jeff Benefield we just stir it into a slurry and spread it on the fields. 600,000 gallons of free liquid fertilizer

+artgoat hog crap is pretty nasty stuff. I don’t find the cow manure too bad but I guess I’m used to it, there seems to be a lot worse things spread on fields by comparison lol

+michaelovitch what would be the advantage to that vs. Stirring it for a couple hours before we spread once maybe twice a year ?

Couldn't bacterias work better with air ? i've read aerobic phases are necessary.

+michaelovitch hmmm, maybe? It seems the solids settle to the top though and decompose on their own, the water just stays in the bottom, I’m not sure if having it mixed and aerated regularly like that would help or not.

I've searched. "slurry and liquid manure : very fast fermentation in which a large part of the nitrogen goes under ammoniacal form able to slowly dissipate over the pit in the gaseous state, more quickly during brewing and spreading" file:///F:/Documents/T%C3%A9l%C3%A9chargements/F69-DE-MONTARD.pdf So if you are in a hurry it would help,otherwise ,not so much. It can help to keep components mixed together,so you wouldn't have water on the bottom. It would reduce its volume too,since water would not be covered by an insulating crust.

+michaelovitch hmmm interesting info thanks for looking that up. The pit will hold about 9 months worth of slurry and since we don’t spread in winter it usually does sit there for a long time.

+Douglass Wilkin takes a few hours, depends on how thick the solids are floating on the top.

+Blake B the liquids and solids separate in the pit, So you have to mix them together into a slurry to get them out. You only have to do it when your going to pump it out.

+ya472 there is a fence around it

I see the fence, but not enough to stop deer or children. Swimming pools have extreme requirements and one knows it is full of water.

+ya472 no deer here, if they did fall in i can pluck them out no big deal. No children here either and they wouldn’t climb over a 5.5ft fence or be left unsupervised even if there was some around. It meets the safety requirements of the government it’s good enough for them.

Mac Farms everyone's got an opinion. I guess alot of folks think that this is an outdated system.. or not practical ?? and..in the U.S. this would cause a real stink in many areas !! life in the USA is far too complex, with all this cultural "diversity" that demands zoning regulations, and put restrictions​ on certain process's or prohibits them, or activists and saftey officials need to observe & regulate operations to be able to flex muscle one day when the need presents itself. we are not FREE to do anything, without someone controlling it or folks being offended or upset... about someone else's​ way of life. what this civilized world has become is sickening, far more so then any stink you can imagine would make you ! it just makes me sick! folks think because that is the way they do it.. we should all do it the same !! NO ! THATS NOT FREE WILL ! Like helmets to ride a bicycle or horse, or seatbelts​ in a car... regulations! it's a law !! gotta do it, or pay a fine! all because it could save your life ? and that is somehow a legal justification to make it law ???? just crazy !!! this country has gone to the dogs !!

+Josh Shaw well said man. Thanks for commenting.

+Cletus Spuckler clearly didn’t need it but it should have a few yes. Haven’t found any yet.

+Ozzie Manly Man thanks, living on a hill by the ocean, can’t complain lol

+mendy badgett I’m not worried about it, it serves its purpose

+Random Guy old tractor, always smoked pretty bad, has plenty of power so never worried about it much.

+nor gotr 12ft

Thank you....

+IGOTAJOP America yes its called an anaerobic digester or biogas plant. It’s like $300,000+ for one to handle the amount this pit holds. Not sure how much power or heat it generates but I’d say it would take quite awhile for it to pay for itself

Mac Farms wow thats a lot of money. Thanks for commenting.

+FendtTraktoren Nova Scotia Canada

lol

We had settling ponds similar to this at a slaughter house that I used to work at. We never stirred them up like this. They were filled with the contents of the animals stomachs and intestines. When one would fill up they would switch to another.

+Al Diehl interesting. We mix it into a slurry and spread it on the fields for fertilizer. I’m surprised they didn’t do the same with that stuff.

Mac Farms is it a good fertilizer?

We haven’t had it tested but it seems to work very well

+Kenneth Wallace thanks

+Tomi ståhl 6 Massey’s 1 White and 1 Case/David Brown

Mac Farms we have 5 massey and one volvo and casr

Case

+Tomi ståhl nice, I’m not really familiar with the volvo tractors

Hope your valentine is a gardener lol

+Crazystuffyousee if i knew that 370k people were going to watch it I would have, was just another routine farming video when I shot it.

I agree interesting but what were you doing???

The manure separates when it sits in the pit, the solids float to the top and the “water” sits at the bottom. So before we empty it and spread it on the fields we have to mix it up with this agitator. It mixes everything into a slurry and it gets pumped into the spreader and put on the fields.

+dtec30 no we just stir it before we pump it out and spread it

ok

+Eric Lakota would love to find some, been looking.

Thats what steering brakes are for.

+spoolinaround spray it on the ground yep, I have a couple videos of that as well.

Fuel tank is under the cab not up front like the old Deeres. Just bought 825lbs of suitcase weights so we’ll see if that helps

Its a lot further than it looks. And that's the Atlantic Ocean not a lake. Requirement is only 30m from a water body as far as I know, the ocean is 250-300m at least.
