Sounds like a good nights beering round here. i even managed smashing a cooker playing rugby while drunk in a kitchen. needless to say the landlord at the time walked in at the same time.

another set of twins this morning, i know the first one is a fr bull, other one is just out will check after breakfast. The drain i was trying to clear the other day is flowing, spent a good while at it on friday, left a hyrodare pipe flowing into it of water, water level wasnt rising just staying the same but was over flowing yesterday evening took pipe out and when i went down this morning its totally empty:D

Great.
We have on that's prone to blockage. And it's a pain in the ass. It's is 4" sewer and runs under the concrete yard put in in the mid 70's. I reckon there's a dip in the length somewhere and maybe even a crease. The exit into concrete pipes is long lost.

this is something similar, there is a grating over it that HAD wire mesh over it but this disappeared and silage got down it, i got the most of the silage out with the corkscrew end on the sewer rods

Poor design in a yard is a bitch.
Ours is in the yard so if your holding any cattle in it or scraping out sheds then it's prone to ****e getting in.
I've learned that if there's anything going on in the yard, I stuff a fert bag into the opening which I can pull out when all is clear.

If you can get a piece or 4 inch sewer pipe connected to the end of it, even if you have to cut a split or two in the piece of piping, and then put a 90 degree bend onto that, then the 5 inch suction pipe from a slurry tanker fits onto the 90 degree bend perfectly.
Let the tanker build up full suction, then pull open the gate valve on the suction pipe. Hopefully you will pull out all the blockage.
Try and suck back from the end the blockage entered.

Failing that get a 4" sewer stop and connect the pressure washer to it. Remove lance and the fitting should just attach to the back of the sewer stop. We had to do it in desperation in a pub one time. Soil pipe was flowing out through centre of pub and a new section was due to open in a couple of days so tearing the whole place up wasn't an option. It took a little while for pressure to build but when it did 2 of the mankiest pampers you ever saw hit the far side of the manhole out in the street, job done;)

Never eat anything first thing always wait until after milking, its a disaster if something goes wrong and you don't get back in until dinner time.
