I thought these were the way forward but my buddy has one and it isn't uncommon to see a tower stirrer at work on his place from time to time.

I can only comment on the systems I’ve seen working,and none of them needed any extra agitation from a mixer

Is there a gas build up under a cover?
bubble system sounds interesting, I don’t like the idea of too much mechanical being permanently in the lagoon

We've 2 bubbler systems, one in a tower and one In a slatted tank they both work spot on and keep it ready to spread.
I used to mount a mixer on the loadall and push it out into the lagoon’s if we could not reach if the crust was stubborn. It used to be an hydraulic driven one which we used to run it through the loadall hydraulic system but the hydraulic oil got too hot , so we used to put a tractor by the side and run it through that . when we were mixing towers it was good we did not have this buy specialist equipment to get into them. just thought I put the information out there.
I never had vents on my cover and it would blow up like a ballon,if I could have timed it with stirring it would have been great.

Yes the gaurd...which is basically a length of big box section steel running underneath the rotating shaft, and a round section on the end shaped like bicycle handles beneath the rotor pointing upwards , simply bolted underneath the machines frame.. needs a couple of 12mm holes drilled to fit.

There is never anything mechanical immersed in the actual slurry. It's just plastic piping with some holes in and an electric motor powering a compressor activated by a time switch to use off peak juice. Bubbles air through the slurry slowly over time.

Our systems are a series of plastic pipes mounted to the floor, on the end of each pipe there's a rubber flap so slurry can't go back up the pipes. The pipes are in zones, they run back to a manifold with valves on them so it blows each zone in turn instead if trying to do the whole lot at once.
We have three impeller options:
1: 80 - 130hp
2: 130 - 160hp+
3: 200hp + (This will put 250hp on its knees)
As David said, they will take all of the power you have availabe.
Our liner leg can be retrofitted to any of our machines, older frames will require two holes drilling.

the 130 prop will kill 200hp in 1000 shaft
