So their manure system, here on this farm, they remove it all with GEA alley scrapers
and then it's hauled, custom hauled by a custom operator. They haul their manure out from here
with two 10-inch pumps, two 12-inch pumps and load stands and currently have sixteen 10,500 GEA tanks.
Hello, I'm Scott Deck. I've been with Kaeb Sales for 13 years
and we specialize in a lot of GEA manure equipment in all your manure handling needs.
So last season on this farm we used the 10-5 Super pump of GEAs and then this year we had the
opportunity to load and haul with the GEA 12-inch pump and it has been a big change of things for us
with the ability of better wear and longer run time and the efficiency has been huge.
One of the biggest benefits is the GEA Tuff housing on the pump.
It has given us a lot more run time with less wear that we've been looking for
in our efficiency of day-to-day operation. The agitation nozzle has been very impressive,
very well ran. The 8-inch nozzle and its 6-inch outlet has given us a lot of
agitation, almost more than some of the agitation boats we've had. This pump was
a good fit for the wear and the efficiency. We have a lot of sand manure we're hauling,
sand-laden manure we're hauling, so the wear is huge for us and the efficiency.
The three best features of this pump, I would say, is the Tuff housing, the GEA Tuff housing has been huge
we aren't getting a lot of wear that we didn't have before, longevity out of it, the efficiency and
the load times are incredible. We went from about a minute and 55 seconds, we're loading
a 13,400 tank in a minute and 14 seconds now. I would say any farm could look at
this pump as a solution just for the efficiency of it, but a lot of our custom
operators and things like that definitely should be looking at it for the wearing
ability, the way it holds up and how it's holding up. We've seen good things there.
