    What would be the general cost of getting a 3 bay tank emptied. the land the slurry is been put on is beside the shed... it is well watered so wont take too much agitation

    got a 3 bay double agitated and emptied for 600, needed a fair bit of water and agitation, my own tanker is goosed so it was my first time getting a lad to do it, was happy enough, all done in a day, would take me a week to be doing it after work

    Would think €500 to €600.
    Used to use contractor myself for similar size tank. Usually turned up 2 to 3 weeks after silage cut, and so ended up spreading on growing grass. Bad job :eek:
    So went and bought second hand tank. Sound but not pretty €800.
    Second hand agitator working but not many years left in it due to rust etc,. Paid €250. Didn't want to spend much on the agitator as was concerned my 68 hp tractor would not cope with it. However does the job no problem. Needs a little water to help, but sometimes my contractor also needed water and he had 150 hp.
    Anyway, I now do my own slurry spreading and agitating in one 12 hour day.
    Tank and agitator well and truly paid for in 2 seasons!
    Agitator still functioning, but I may need to get a half decent condition one sometime soon.
