Follow a Farmer: Dragline Manure Injection and "shooting the pig"!

I miss emptying our Lagoon. I did have a local pumper that had the fendt tractor, I installed a raven Viper 4 with slingshot in the cab just like your co-op applicators have. He pumped a lot of municipal storage systems. He had to be spot on for rate and the slingshot allowed him to give an up to the minute update to area covered and then what his application rate said they could go measure their pit and confirm that he's spot on or needs to adjust. The minute he was done pumping he could email a statement and by the time they were cleaned up, packed up ready to go the customer was there with a check. The slingshot as well as the tractor data through the tractors website allowed him to check progress even at night when the hired help was running. He could see if they stop the tractor for any length of time, fuel status...

That sounds impressive. The technology to monitor and run the pump and everything is unreal!

@followafarmer he had a system like you did for controlling and monitoring the pumps. So he can shut the pumps down remotely. The technology in the tractor was just for mapping and proof of application rate
