[@Xenomorph1111]

As far as the smell goes.... I remember back in the 70s when I was a kid and we used to go to my Grandfathers Farm for a Sunday dinner once a month ( he had 50 head he milked) I would complain about the smell, One day I asked him if it bothered him ... My Grandfather said Well, when you are a true Farmer through & through, it doesn't bother you . in fact you don't even notice it ... BUT then again when he cleaned out the barn he had a good old fashioned Badger gutter cleaner and took the manure spreader & spread it out in the fields right away . evidently it bothered my Grandmother ....I remember she had strict rules .. he had to take off his bib overalls & working boots in the barn put on his reg boots , come in and take a shower before doing anything ( eating or sitting let alone hugging / kissing her LOL )

[@macfarms]

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

[@ronaldfetzer699]

Xenomorph1111{

[@A1986Ge1995]

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????

[@gaugebrady5416]

[@thedonleroy]

I helped my brother in law do this one time years ago & I also loaded the spreader. 1 time was enough. I told him the next time he asked me that I didn't need money that bad.

[@jonthelamb4549]

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

[@jamiesami2000]

Looks just like my longtail mud motor for my boat. Lol

[@raymondj8768]

you should put a fountain in that pond it would help it stay cleaner man haha

[@petersab4476]

Reminds me of the morning after a hot curry.

[@asabs2000]

lucky where we were located the government made us do pit work like mixing every week or 2 and every couple days they were out to take test to make sure there wasent to much gas being released

[@tombig4011]

Looks like a boat mud motor on a tractor. Bet that does smell nice.

[@thatoneguy9660]

Me being a city boy had a lot if questions after watching this video which you answered very well in the comments thank you for that. Now as a retired auto mechanic I have a few more questions. 1. Is the propeller PTO driven or hydraulically driven 2. If PTO driven how many u-joints are on the shaft. 3. What's the diameter of the shaft? ( I'm guessing big) 4. How often does it need serviced? 5. (And the most important) Who gets the shitty job of having to servicing this machine from hell?

[@macfarms]

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.

[@thatoneguy9660]

Mac Farms thanks

[@varok1206]

Great lagoon. Invest in x2 tractor. Most farmers at this stake in the game has multiple tractors anyways.

[@macfarms]

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.

[@varok1206]

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

[@macfarms]

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.

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Looks like a lot of quality fertilizer to me! Better than any commercial fertilizer!

[@macfarms]

+larsonvalleyfarm cheaper at the very least lol

[@johntoothman4888]

Very cool!! Outboard motor for the tractor!!!

[@macfarms]

[@adamj8676]

Is that store bought it homemade

[@albertjonker5083]

Work smart.

[@southronjr1570]

Well I am no expert and got away from milking years ago but I remeber if our lagoon got half as bad my grandad would raise one helluva stink with my daddy and it usually meant I got to sit on a tractor for about 2 hours doing that. It seemed if we did in more the less time I had to sit on the tractor so I used to hound my dad to get it over with, 30 min sitting next to that was a lot better than 2 hours.

[@jankotze1959]

Well worth doing that, can you emagine the value in commercial fertilizer to cover the same fields that you can do with that, nice Mac

[@macfarms]

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

[@dale2778]

ya shoulda bought a johnson or an evenrude! i had a electric trollin moter that worked just like that!

[@speedbuggy16v]

mmmmm mmmmm gooood stink, I need about 2-3 IBC totes full of that for my garden. You might want to put a few weights on the front of that massy..........LOL

[@macfarms]

+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

[@speedbuggy16v]

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.

[@halfpintranch2700]

Love that 1105!

[@macfarms]

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

[@lowellmiller6663]

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

[@macfarms]

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

[@lowellmiller6663]

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.

[@macfarms]

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

[@barnydrunk]

Would make a good time lapse video

[@macfarms]

Yeah it would that’s a good idea

[@scottstemple8105]

that's hard on that tractor will need rebuilt soon soups ready come and get it!

All right, I've seen enough of this crap.

[@macfarms]

lol

[@GIJeaux1]

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.

[@macfarms]

+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.

[@southlakelife]

Mac Farms is it a good fertilizer?

[@macfarms]

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

[@ashtonthornes1418]

Tractors working hard must have a thick ol crust!

[@macfarms]

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

[@nealschmitt6555]

How deep is your manure holding pit, or tank?

[@macfarms]

+nor gotr 12ft

[@nealschmitt6555]

Thank you....

[@Budd56]

I could actually smell that when you started stirring it. Lol

[@LSUfan-mn3oc]

Lol I know

[@tomhuleboer]

Will it blend? that is the question.... ;-)

[@dcw1540]

How long did it take to mix hole thing?

[@macfarms]

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

[@Junkboy888]

and I hate it when the Pool get a few leaves in it LOL

[@jimmytate7587]

seems like if they can afford that tractor with the swizzle stick they could also afford a front bucket or a blade and level the ground a bit and make the driveway wider

[@macfarms]

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

[@davidroche2757]

I'm very surprised the slurry tank is where it is beside the water , would never be allowed in some country's.

[@macfarms]

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.

[@thespiderkelly9589]

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.

[@macfarms]

+The Spider Kelly what country do you live in?

[@thespiderkelly9589]

Ireland, we're heavily governed by Europe.

[@macfarms]

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.

[@dtec30]

is there not a stirer on at all times ?

[@macfarms]

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

[@dtec30]

ok

[@adamdorris4081]

Ahh my new swimming hole!

[@artgoat]

When I lived in Ohio, the soybean farmers around us would spray perfume on their crops from the local hog farms. Some days, I think an oxygen mask would have made life much more pleasant.

[@macfarms]

+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

[@koryleague8833]

Liquid gold.

[@calebbisson4577]

Our 3pt pump lifts the front wheels of our jd 7810 off the ground

[@macfarms]

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

[@michaelovitch]

Why don't you use submerged pipes with a bubbling sytem ?

[@macfarms]

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

[@michaelovitch]

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

[@macfarms]

+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.

[@michaelovitch]

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.

[@macfarms]

+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.

[@swamprat69er]

That gives all new meaning to the term of 'shit stirring'. :D

[@macfarms]

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

[@aussiemanlyman2138]

That's a bloody nice view, over the top of the shit tank that is.

[@macfarms]

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

[@cletusspuckler2243]

[@crofter3903]

bit of a change from silage that stirrer looks heavy on the back of the tractor better not tip it lol

[@macfarms]

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

[@lucaslex9327]

What state do you live in?

[@blakeb1992]

Why do you need to stir it?

[@macfarms]

+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.

[@danfike3016]

Looks like that will make the grass grow.

[@macfarms]

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

[@macfarms]

+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.

[@arkyhomesteader1791]

I agree interesting but what were you doing???

[@macfarms]

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.

[@GICK117]

Boy, who ever was driving might of needed to pump poop out the tractor seat there next to the farm house.

[@spoolinaround]

It Stinks! Like shit it does! lol... do you spray or chisel it in the ground ?

[@macfarms]

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

[@macfarms]

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

[@igotajopamerica3040]

I wonder if you had a couple of these ponds put a cover to collect methane gas then power the grid. I wonder how much money you could make? Wonder if any farmers ever done this maybe power there house?

[@macfarms]

+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

[@igotajopamerica3040]

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

[@ThisOldMan-ya472]

Before the stirring, one would have thought this was just fenced pasture(on video), so what keeps people or animals from falling in ?

[@macfarms]

+ya472 there is a fence around it

[@ThisOldMan-ya472]

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.

[@macfarms]

+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.

[@jls99500]

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 !!

[@macfarms]

+Josh Shaw well said man. Thanks for commenting.

[@jeffery19677]

Why not separate the solids and compost them with wood chips? Then you have free fertilizer OR a marketable product. PLUS you have a smaller chance of overflow during heavy rains.

[@macfarms]

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

[@jeffgannon1]

It’s always amazes me when the know it alls have to speak. Being in Nova Scotia does the lagoon ever freeze?

[@macfarms]

+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.

[@Bushguyrocks]
