High Performance Bauer helical rotor pumps are self-priming and can handle the thickest liquid manure without difficulty. Agitate pit or lagoon, pump into spreader tanks or thru irrigation pipe and spreader nozzles (above) or thru flexible hose to supply tractor-mounted injectors. This allows direct injection into soil that eliminates the run-off, odor problems and loss of nitrogen value associated with other spreading methods.
