And more of them if he wants to increase work rate?
Pumping from the yard is a good job if the fields are biggish. Ferrying to a Bowser and pipeline is blooming expensive. In my opinion it only becomes justifiable if access to fields by tankers is not clean enough, or the fields won't carry the tanker in the first place. It's double handling.

More and more done direct from the tanker round here,roads keep clean and you can use massive tankers that never leave the Tarmac.

Anything bigger than 2500 gal wants keeping out of fields imo the ground in this area just can’t take the weight no matter how big the tyres are
Sorry, being Tb testing all day - one long 13hr day
Local haulier who has given us a good price esp if we are happy to haul over the weekend. Has seven artic tankers capable of holding 32 cu.m.
One of the other major reasons is that we have to travel through three villages. For some reason, people are more accepting of lorries than tractors. With 4000 gallon tankers behind 200hp tractors, VOSA would be jizzing themselves if we were fingered ... and we would be
Another reason is that Wales is going NVZ nationwide in 2020 so need to shift sh!t and a lot of it pdq plus we would have to buy dribble bars for the tankers in any case.

Funnily enough I had a bill for carting slurry to our furthest block the other day. I know I could’ve had a lorry in to do it cheaper it’s just access isn’t brilliant.
