Dragline Manure Spreading - No Tanks Needed

[@bobs7543]

That machine really spreads a lot of manure. They should name it The Politician

I won't tell you just how old I am, but you're never too old to learn. A mile long hose snaking out. 500,000 gallons without stopping. That's really something. Thanks!

I'm 71 year-old city girl and I can't believe I watched that all the way through! LOL

[@theaustrianboy9409]

It is quite common here in Europe. It's a great system with a massive capacity.

[@scoobyscooby3205]

I like to know how much for the cost for

[@mattreimer2376]

I manage a dragline in Manitoba, Canada. It is by far the most common type of manure application here. We pump about 130 millions gallons a year from April until November up to 4 miles away!

[@andrewstaerk2796]

Are you the guys that run a Steiger on your dragline?

[@TheDgdimick]

Does the hose damage the crop at all?

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

@@TheDgdimickit’s minimal at best. You can dragline in standing corn up to V6 and it won’t affect anything. There’s plenty of studies and information out there to look up if you want to learn about it.

[@michealwhite8776]

The same happens here in Ireland

Manure on the field and then rain!! Perfect timing!!!!

[@MyAlaska12]

That's a cool process of applying the manure. Thanks for showing.

[@donnalannan2978]

So many things to consider regarding manure spreading and soil compaction. Liked your proactive opening of cow barn to prevent buildup of games. Very informative. Keep up the great work!

[@guestuser6168]

Thanks for explaining how they empty the hose. I've always wondered that.

[@trinitydairy]

Our custom pumpers use a drag line, works great, so much faster than tanking! Great video!

[@jamesryan9206]

I really enjoy the manure spreading videos. That way is definitely a lot less messy or seemed to be. Take care

[@timpedraza2085]

Wow, never seen this method , very cool thanks for showing us 👍

[@cjm6271]

Fascinating to me. I never realized that was an option. As a firefighter, it is hard to imagine the forces at the coupler on the tractor. That hose when full is tremendously heavy. It is significantly heavier(larger) than our supply lines in firefighting. Another great video, thanks!

[@DJ-bh1ju]

Same here, I was a career FF and volunteer in Western NY. Watching the draglines around here and equating them to a 5" or 6" LDH supply line boggles the mind. How do they not tear or puncture under this abuse? Why are they so much tougher than our hoses?

[@josephsprague4757]

That is one clever manure spreading system there Eric. Hoping it makes a big difference for you. Thanks.

[@billpotmesil]

Pretty cool! Appreciate you sharing and trying new things out!

[@jonmoller3502]

Great to see you trying something new :-). In the UK using a dribble bar on a tanker or via hoses and pump is very common and works great. Helps reduce the ammonia in the air.

[@phil6465]

Yes. I was very confused at dragline until I saw the umbilical hose.🤣

[@sunroofracing]

Great video Eric! The drone footage was a great overview of the operation. Always very appreciative of your details regarding the fine points...running the hose under the road, flushing out the lines with air, foam ball to squeegee every last drop. Always impressed with your operations. Thanks for the video!

[@jimbeck820]

That was very interesting! IMO, One of your best yet….. Thank you for explaining everything! That is key!

[@10thgenerationdairyman61]

Thank you!

[@petelamps6055]

In Scotland that slurry spreader is called a Dribble Bar. Never used one myself but they are becoming popular, partly to do with regulations.

[@ryanbachman9227]

Love the overhead footage of the farm. You guys have a very nice farm. God bless our farmers

[@maggieyake8054]

It’s interesting to see the drone views of the dragline operating. Makes the process easier to understand. Also enjoyed seeing your new house across the road! Thanks for the educational video!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Wow that was very interesting, I can see where using this type of method would be more effective/efficient than the spraying method. That was a lot of manure, 525 thousand, hopefully you see some real noticeable results, good luck. I hope you all have a great weekend, thanks a lot.

[@newellbros1483]

Over here in Northern Ireland they are used alot. We call them a dribble bar. Government says they have to be used less pollution and better for the grass

[@newellbros1483]

umbilical cord would be the right name for it pumping dung 💩

[@mcalan20]

Interesting video with the dragline ,loved seeing the cows jumping when they got the new bedding

[@xlandros]

Very cool vid. When you said the “field over the road” I thought you misspoke…had me wondering how you’d get the line across. That was a neat way to do it! Excellent video.

[@BIGREDTECH]

We use to run PCE dragline. 2800 gallons a minute.. clean lagoons and being able to start ground work a couple days after injection is the key! Broadcast spreading the waiting time is a lot longer!

[@barbarabelmar3819]

So many new technologies to learn something from. By the way, I haven't seen Duchess for a while, I hope she is okay. Shes such a spitfire.

[@hezekiaB]

These things are pretty cool. I just wrapped up planting for a dairy that used one of these on their home farm and tankers everywhere else and the ground was so much more mellow behind the the dragline.

[@hiwaydan]

That is a very interesting spreader set up. The amount of hose is incredible. It seem to always be something new out there. Great video!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great technology at work. Thank you for.the video. Excellent content.

[@ohPokey]

Very interesting Eric the way you try new things.

[@mykalmcb]

Looks like the drip application is the way to go, and it doesn't appear to have a lot of overlap. There is a KZbinr, Rose on the Farm, whose family business is farming and spreading manure for other farmers in Minnesota and Iowa mostly. It is a pretty interesting process. Using the manure spread for bedding seems a good idea also, nice and even distribution. Thank you for sharing.

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video Eric. Less soil compaction is the key , no manure tanks way better if ur moving a lot of liquid manure

[@blurrylights6344]

When I was a kid we would take family trips from western New York to western Maryland to visit family and would take the 219 south through Pennsylvania. Whenever we drove by a farm that had recently spread manure I would complain about the smell and my Dad would always say "That's fresh country air. It's good for you." And wouldn't let me roll the window up. I got over it and now I say the same to my kids. 😂

[@steveneal2706]

this was very interesting. You make the best videos Eric. Thank you and bless you and your family

[@mrvanahead]

Draglining is a great way to spread manure. Especially if you have a load of fields close to eachother. Here in our area in the Netherlands they have been doin it for over 20 years. Nowadays they run it with injectors into the ground. But i never seen em drag the hose around with a 2nd tractor. And i think our contractor had the tractor on 900mm tyres for this. Massive!

[@Corvid-]

Quite an impressive pump.

[@shaneflickinger]

Thanks for the video. Always enjoy the new Ag technology videos. I am glad you are able to work on reducing compaction in your fields. Take care and wishing you the best for moving into your new home soon.

[@davidcantu824]

[@stuartsplace100]

i have seen that on farms here in Vermont,but have never worked on a farm where they spread manure like that

[@JackieDannenberg]

Incredible technology ! Amazing !!

[@mattshell7753]

I love your channel learn something every time I watch 1 of your great videos this is very interesting I hope it works out for you all and you get a better crop. Thank you again

[@asquithmainlines699]

I have seen this done before but never the whole process. It is amazing how far they can pump it. I was wondering how they were going to empty all that hose but you even explained that great job!

[@BobScanlan-wj9lg]

Very interesting method. Looks pretty slick. Sure beats pitching manure onto a spreader…..always a springtime task on our little farm, in 1956.

[@adamsherm29]

Wad always so interested in the actual application of manure like this. There are a few farms here in NY that do it this way. Thank you for letting us come along and watch!!!

[@Supernaut2000]

This is one of the most fascinating things I've seen happen on your channel in a while...Totally amazing how they do that! I sure hope you notice a difference with the corn harvest. I know you will let us all know. Be safe.

[@michaelc.3812]

I’m an engineer, and this is amazing to me! Very cool equipment.

[@Larry-325]

Erik hat dragline system seems awesome. Sounds like it works better for you but also seems like it a lot less handling of the liquid once you get set up. Great video! Real interesting! 👍👍

[@tractors44]

Very common method of spreading slurry in Northern Ireland although the dangers of fumes from agitating is real. A man and his two sons died a few years ago after being overcome by the release of the gases.

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

I’d seen dragline pumping before but never considered how the pipe crossed the road. Super interesting, you’d want nice clear culverts!😅

[@notyou6950]

I love the aroma benefits of this contraption.

[@jakecarlile2294]

Seeing that compressor and pump reminds me of when I pumped water! They are crazy machines

[@tucobenedicto109]

Tom pemberton switched to a dribble bar similar with his tanker due to regulations. It is more eviormentaly friendly, less amonia in the air, more nutirents in the ground. That was smart and efficient. When you said dragline i was waiting to see a bucyrus crane, and dragline bucket and had no clue it was for maure spreading. :) LOL Tom and the Ginger warrior noticed a huge bump in the grasses. Wishing you a plentiful grass crop, and corm crop.

[@Dairyland-Dairyman]

We get a custom pumper with a dragline to do our manure. (Actually worked for him a few years too.) Takes a little bit to set up, but once you get pumping you can sure move a lot of manure. Longest push I remember doing was about seven miles from a customers farm to a large track of land they rented. Ran the hose along the ditch, through culverts, and the neighbors let us go across their fields. Think we had three booster pumps in line to keep it moving. Took a good day to setup. Don't know if it would have been cheaper to haul it over on the semis and dump in the fractank? But we were short handed on help that year so maybe that's why we did it, only took three guys to set up and run. One in the tractor, one at the pit agitating and running the lead pump, and one riding four wheeler checking hose and watching the booster pumps. They can all be shut down remotely by the guy in the field tractor too if something happens.

[@trtj200]

Use a lot of draglines around here for hog manure, but it's more injectors here than top spread, we are further north

[@Invictus13666]

God. Liquid hog manure lol thank god for injection!

[@birdfeeding]

Amazing technology!

[@MartinP1214]

Amazing, I never have seen that done before. I local farmer was injecting his land a few weeks ago. The tankers were lined up for quite a way.

[@danielhurrle7008]

It will be interesting to see the results, thanks for sharing.

[@23431]

That’s incredibly awesome Eric thanks for sharing that process with us

[@michealwhite8776]

Very common here in Ireland is this system, you can move large volumes of slurry in one day plus it can be pumped further if needed but another pump is required for this to happen!! Very impressive outfit Eric..🚜🚜🚜

[@Andy-ix2ox]

Here this side of the pond we call it an umbilical system, they are how most of us spread our slurry especially the ground close to the yard, this year we used a nurse tank and the umbilical system on our out farm five miles away.

[@Jacob_Hojlund]

You should just see how big dragline spreaders can become. It has been required to either use draghose or injection for the last 20 years in Denmark. The biggest self-propelled Agrometer dragline spreders do 120 feet (36 meters) in one pass!

[@carynix8043]

Awesome drone footage

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Great video Eric! Love seeing tractors out in the fields again.

[@Chevy4LifeForEver]

Very interesting how that's done! Thanks for the great video!!

[@janetdupree6353]

Very cool. The first time I saw that done was on I Farm We Farm. I could not figure it out, soooo, I goggled it. Farming is (especially dairy farming) is very interesting. KUDOS for your great channel.

[@mikenicholas8123]

You should see the turn around with a grassland injector. Company I worked for had a Veenhuis that was great. Kept manure below the vegetation leaf, and added a small slit for injection. With that flat ground you have, drag lining is the way to go

[@jordannickell4000]

Yes sir! It’s a Good Friday! 🎉

[@lukeharcus6527]

The only thing that you might find with the dribble bar on the crop your cutting in spring is a high ash content from how thick the slurry is as the plant grows it stops rain washing it in

[@dniboc7227]

Very interesting technique. Thats a crapload of tubing...pun intended. The drone footage helps a lot.

[@GaryWrightUtah]

Gezz, those are some early hours. Glad I cant smell that over KZbin. Great work Eric.

[@DJ-bh1ju]

I'm north of you in Western NY... been watching some of the farmers in my area use this method for a couple of years now. I'm amazed that the hose doesn't tear off or puncture. There's so much weight, pressure and friction on the thing...

[@stephenhoover4095]

I don't think we ever had the hose tear off. Sometimes the it will slip out of the fittings at the end behind the tractor. Rocks can slit the hose though.

[@danfinley3690]

Yea always awesome to watch your day wow it is amazing to see the way that the manure is pumped out amazing how much it covers

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

It’s interesting seeing the different equipment. We have similar pieces here in Ontario, but built by different manufacturers. Same with seed drills, your spreader and woodchuck. The manure pump is quite different from the ones we use.

[@bryanhubner9848]

Great video thanks for sharing! I’ve only seen this once before and that farmer didn’t explain it nearly as well or provide the drone footage. Hope it helps! Will be interesting to see your comparisons

[@jdschini]

I commend you and your dad for thinking outside the box. By using custom services when it comes completing your big projects. Instead of trying to purchase & maintain a lot of expensive & specialized equipment. This also frees up more of your time so you can concentrate on the cows. Thank you for doing such a good job on this video as always. I especially appreciated the time it took to shoot and include the drone footage. I am looking forward to seeing how the Triticale does for you this spring. Have a blessed weekend!

[@carriebrumley8926]

Awesome video I learned something new and I love to watch the cows after yall put in bedding
