TURN YOUR MANURE HANDLING NIGHTMARE INTO A MANAGEABLE, TIME AND FUEL SAVING EVENT For the Bomgardner brothers, Jay, Carl and Charles, hauling the manure from their 100 high producing dairy cows was a nightmare. At their Blue Mountain View Farm, Annville R 3, these brothers tried many different manure handling systems before they found the Slurry-Brute manure pump from US Farm Systems of Penn sylvania. “We tried a lot of different ways to get that stuff out of our 40x60 open pit, Jay Bomgardner said. “Different kinds of pumps and sucking spreaders. But nothing really worked. We would pump for hours trying to get the manure mixed up. But mostly after a day of pumping we would still just get out the water and leave the solids to build-up in the pit.” “Then we tried the Slurry-Brute and bought it on the spot. With the propeilor and cutting knives to help the pumping action mix up the pit, we stirred up the manure in less than 2 hours. That’s the same pit we couldn't get stired up in 12 hours with other pumps. And the manure stayed in suspension even when we didn’t get it all removed until several days later.” “And we filled the tanker with heavy manure in 3 minutes,” Jay continued. “We really saved a lot of time and fuel with the Slurry-Brute. And as time and fuel become more expensive, having a pump that does the job will be worth more and more.” You too can turn your manure handling nightmare into a managable, time and fuel saving event.
