    Would you need a reciever chamber if you could use the agitator to pump it through a few pipes straight into the pouch ?

    How would ye collect up all the ****?
    The plans for the future are to put a channel across the yard so it wouldn't go to waste if I put in a receiving chamber.

    I'm a bit sceptical about the bag yoke tbh. I wonder could it handle slurry, and what if some ****er came along with a knife? Your in right ****e then

    They are used here by a neighbour where he has 40 acres 8 miles from the home yard. The artic fills the bag in one go and the tanker in the field has it emptied by the time the lorry returns with the next load. It's handy when the lorry is being paid buy the hour. No standing around time.

    I thought you were already scraping into a tank but maybe you arent .
    I dont know how tough the bag is but sure if a bad lad wants to do a bit of damage he would do it anyhow :mad:

    Literally :P. But yeh did you watch the video, they are using it just for washings/watery slurry. You'd have some fun if you pumped thick slurry into it and couldnt get it out!

    Well your man said it would work. But I'm not too sure. He said lads use it for extra storage when there other tanks are full

    Anyone ever see one of these in use?

    Rang your man there. 20k gallons is 5,000e they go up to something like 100k gallons.
    He said they will store slurry out of tanks on can be used as a stand alone slurry store. He said, for what i was talking about doing ehich was take slurry off a scraped passage way i need a receiving chamber and a pump that agitates the slurry before it goes into the tank. Once its in the tank you can spread straight out of it, no need to agitate it because no air can get in do there is no crust. The pump ranges in price from 1,500 to 6000. And it last for 30yr main and can be rolled up and moved if you ever want too.

    He's sending me on more info about them.
    It might be an option for me and get me out of a hole for a year or two
    Seems very expensive per gallon of slurry stored. Would you not consider lagoon storage?

    I'm trying to figure out if I have some of his old climbing equipment :eek:
    When I was pres of the club I had a mother come in and say that her son had died in an accident a couple of years before and that she'd like to see the stuff be put to use as that's what he would have wanted:eek:

    We put one in a few years ago when the grant was going. Personally I hate it because I am afraid of someone or something falling into it although it is extremely well fenced and unlikely for that to happen. Having said that I hate slats too - always think they are going to collapse someday. I hate crossing bridges as well :mad:
    I should have added that we have no concerns about storage and the Dept/Enviro breathing down our necks. Great peace of mind to have it in place and if the slatted unit gets full we can pump it into the lagoon.

    He was a surreal person to begin with. He died doing what he loved and what he believed in.

    Right, it's (kinda) sorted out here:
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057118938

    I don't have the access to 'undo' the merge, so it's all in one single post.

    Not QUITE as catastrophic a 'whoops, butterfingers' moment as what happened the whole site on Sunday, but still, my apologies for the foul up. :o

    No bother Rovi. Darragh's on the road at this stage anyway by the sounds of things!

    Great programme. Hard to follow the different accounts of what happened. Must watch it again on RTE player. I climbed the 35th highest mountain once, nearly 4,000m.:D I found it tough going at that. Every few feet you had to stop to catch your breath.

    Mont Blanc was my highest. That was celebrated with crashing the end of a yacht race from Cork to France (fastnet?) and copious amount of red wine in a marquee in a coastal town in France.
    Met some strange folks there, incl one guy from NZ who sold everything and just travelled in his wee boat from place to place, one of those one person fast sailing race yachts. He didn't even own shoes:eek:

    How high is Mont Blanc? Crough Patrick is my highest ha, all 750m! Mind you that was in a singlet and shorts, up in about 40mins and down in about 15!
