Fighting With A Mountain Of Solids In Our Lagoon!

[@bonniehibma3580]

Great job finished. Don't get spoiled driving that JD. We closed up a 28 year old hog lagoon and had it cleaned out with pay loader and and excavator. They loaded it on side dumps and hauled to a field two years ago. I am on about 200 loads so far of hauling with a 195 NH spreader. So I know what you mean with solids. We did use a pump like you had but it could not get the solids up. Again thanks for your video's.

[@leysterpeters7776]

Never get tired of the views out in the field. When I go back home to south Saskatchewan I always stop in numerous spots and soak up that awesome Saskatchewan view.

[@wmson1961]

Great job on ur videos...I really enjoy seeing them...

[@sunroofracing]

Excellent video Jan! Very artistic and lovely drone footage of the field work. Dramatic change in the look of the field. Great work by all. You look good in the monster JD! Thanks for the video!

[@justahomemadekid1606]

Looks like we might see an 8R on demo for manure and chopping next year. Especially with the way you were talking aboit how smooth it ran. You sounded more excited about that 8R than your Raptor!!! Great vid, keep it up!

[@hughmarcus1]

Really interesting watching from Ireland. Although we don’t have farms on that scale, it’s interesting to see the difference in how you handle the cattle slurry. Over here we’ve just entered what’s called the closed period for the winter. Between 15th October & 31st January no slurry can be spread & outside of that it can only be spread by injection or dribble bar methods. As a result most bigger farms use contractors now. They run umbilical systems & depending on distance between the yard & the land being spread they either pump direct or the tankers are just ferrying the manure, not spreading it.

[@caseywirtel561]

Thanks for taking us along for another day in the life, love it

[@brianwelds9531]

Literally my go to KZbinr for anything farming! As a dairy farmer love seeing how another operation works great video!! What's the pit capacity?

[@dougdiplacido2406]

The lagoon agitator is quite an impressive piece of machinery. I see others have asked about the lonely silo in the middle of the field. Can you tell us what it is for? Doing maintenance on the crawler must eb a fun job. Great video Jan. Thanks.

[@steveneal2706]

Great video Jan. Lagoon is looking good. Great job guys

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

Outstanding job on this video. I felt like I was in the tractor myself.

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊

[@francrawford3246]

Sure am glad I'm not on lagoon crawler cleaning duty! As you say, it's constant poop removal. Know you said in the past that you got into the lagoon, with the loader?, to get a deeper cleaning. Will you have to do that again? Thanks for the informative video.

[@larrybg9293]

You looking good in that Green Tractor.

[@julietteboyle105]

Love you and Neline sooo much. Great video very informative. Can I ask what your soundtrack names were. The music is so great.

[@aflea8272]

wonder if your lagune would benefit from the aeration pump like tom pemberten has in his tank. where it blows bubbles evey couple hours and keeps things mixed up tho im not sure if it can handle the sand.

[@sander5817]

I was thinking the same thing! Wonder if that works

[@kellwood1404]

Wonder how much it costs with huge pit.

[@sunshaker01]

I would think a separator to remove some of the solids before it got to the pit would work better (which Tom also has), but I'm not sure it could handle the Sask winter or how fast the sand would wear out the parts of the separator.

[@herbhouston5378]

Are you going to scoop up and haul out what's left?

[@aflea8272]

@@herbhouston5378 honestly.... I probably wouldn't mind doing that for a few weeks. A job change would be nice

[@edmo43]

Thanks Jan for the new video. What a long day to empty the wastewater tank. Seeing the immensity of land to fertilize, I think that many deposits like that are needed. 🙄

[@icebabysnocain]

When I die I do not want to come back as a lagoon agitator. Great having five tankers going at once. The video was so good I could smell it. I have to stop drinking through your shows. We all want a raptor ride. Good video. Pax.

[@seang2012]

I watch these videos for some hot Jan action and I end up learning way more about poop than I ever wanted to.

[@joycehook4832]

Wow never thought poo would hold my interest so much, and I have watched your other videos involving emptying the lagoon. Guess I can never get enough of it.😁

[@johnt3728]

I love watching these videos,I’ve never done anything like this but its very interesting. I bet the smell is pretty bad 😉

Your background music with the drone was pretty cool

[@zeekk109]

Look into Mono pumps for agitating the lagoon, I used one on lime slurry, 3” pump at 90 % solids.

[@johnnyenglish8289]

Jan, Do you ever get a vacation? I think you need one. I love your vids and stories and I get so exhausted watching you, love you

That sure is some operation pumping all that Liquid gold out and on the fields. 100 % better than fertilizer chemicals. Love the sound of that MX when working hard.

[@dieterlethmate2348]

Put Raptor in lagoon do burnouts to aggregate

[@julielumsden5184]

Interesting idea

[@otsadventures3030]

Never in my life have I watched a video that was based solely on poo!! Loved it. I honestly think I missed my calling as a farmer!! Keep it up.

[@jimyguitar3177]

Build a backup lagoon, switch lagoons, dry out and scoop out the non current lagoon.

[@anneelton5228]

Building another lagoon would be large expense

[@daveklein2826]

Send them the money to build another one

[@Dennismelnychuk]

I don't think they wanna spend a million bucks on another lagoon

Hi Jan. Greetings from Montreal. That is some beautiful country out there !! You have a well oiled machine of your farm. I follow Tom Pemberton as well, he's got some funky tools on his farm that work very well for him. His new milking station is up and running now. Our temps are dropping slowly with single digit nights now.

[@davegenske8973]

Thanks for the video. I had to laugh with “the Case takes the W”. Thanks again !

[@1944chevytruck]

awesome!

[@billjoat]

I was wondering if its possible to get a front end loader in the pit? Then you could clean it out entirely. Have a tractor at the ramp to assist pulling a rig out of the pit or even just dumping it over the side to be picked up by something else. Or maybe something along the lines of an excavator to reach over the sides and scoop it out? Seems like there could be someway to get all the solids out to utilize its full capacity at least once a yar?

[@MellowYe77ow]

Yes, Jan did it one year, but he didn't enjoy doing it. That's why they have the lagoon crawler come out. (Normally there's more liquid for it to work with)

[@axa213]

That’s a really common thing to hear when someone has a case that when they take a deer for a ride it’s always so much nicer lol

[@charleslynch7274]

Wow a lot of manure moved in 2 days i can see why it would be great to have a crawler to break up those solids

[@haydeere1614]

[@candicetaylor9261]

Question.. mist asked about using the loader for solids.. I remember you doing it in the past.. but could you not have added water to the pit to get it all out in one shot?

[@BRPFan]

Do the Guys not have to totally wash and sanitize the Nuhn Crawler after each job? Here in Manitoba you have to. My Friends have a custom manure injecting business and that’s what they have to do. Awesome video, thanks!

[@franciscosandiego3026]

it's 💩 days great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲

[@maryrinehart2346]

I would imagine the solids and sand combine into a cement-like substance and it’s really difficult and expensive to clear that out and keep clearing it out.

[@trevorrowe6231]

Should scoop all the solids out and spread them. Will have a bit of nutrients in them.

[@daveklein2826]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 wow, I bet they never thought about that

[@markkistel9719]

Can't you use the loader and haul more of the solids out?

[@wild_insomnia]

maybe too liquid for soliid manure spreader

[@gavinperry7237]

I can’t remember which You Tube channel I say where a front end loader was used to give lagoon a Deep Cleaning but when product had too much liquid the loader got EXTREMELY DIRTY as it exited lagoon to dump into solid spreader plus made a MAJOR MESS of roads getting to field as liquid leaked out the rear gate

[@randybennett5417]

That crawler must be the new style bass boat.

[@randychristian7642]

going to have to use that front end Loader

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

I’m surprised at how many people don’t replace that houle splash pan with a husky pan, and do 6” piping all the way to the pan. We turned the 540 fan housing at 800 rpm on a 7000 gallon tank and could unload faster than the guy who was helping us with his 6300 gallon and the standard houle pan. Time is money, and anyway to gain time is more money in your pocket.

[@tompreiss5010]

😂😂😂😂😂got a little but puckering going on at that clime up the hill😳😳😣😣😣😣😣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@djidji12]

Maybe a stupid question but asking. Can you just go in the pit when it empty like that and go in with the wheel loader to remove all the sand?

[@davewood406]

They have in the past but I think that was sand that had accumulated over a number of seasons before they started using the buggy. It was pretty stiff stuff.

[@dantethunderstone2118]

He’s said they’ve done that in the past and it took a ridiculous amount of time that it just wasn’t worth it so they just pump this way instead

[@billherman37]

They could have push the last of the liquid to the pump then they could of hauled the solid out.

[@dennislamers986]

That has to be the world biggest R.C. car. I'm sure no one would ever want to drive thar thing in a pit for a day.

[@darlanemechek3697]

I don't know anything about this so probably shouldn't ask but what is the long term impact of putting sand on your soil. Maybe it's minimal I don't know. Just curious. Love your videos and watch all of them

[@jdog9468]

Their soil is a lot of sand already so it won't hurt it just help!

[@JHruby]

It's also a question of quantity. It would take a hundred years of hauling manure to add a quarter inch of sand over an acre of land. In the meantime because you are harvesting crop off the same land you are also adding organic matter.

[@mlmeyer79]

The juxtaposition of hauling cow poop with EDM music is sort of funny. 😂

What they need to do is go in with a wheel loader and push the sand closer to the pumps so next time they haul out the sand is closer to the pumps
