Manure TransferSMgsttem
Does hard work far you
Whatever ybur herd size—so,lso or more—let air
pressure movermanure to storage in minutes. It’s
simple: your v gutter cleaner, alley scraper or tractor
scraper, delivers manure “as Is” to a steel holding
tank. A twist of yodfwrlst then seals the tank;
manure agitates and moves to the storage basin, as
much as 300 ft. away, for later spreading. No rams,
gears, reducers or delays.
See us for systems and service that help
make the good life better.
