Would be interesting to know the cost per 1000gl of moving slurry by road tanker on clear diesel, vs tractor on red.
You all main roads? Hgv no quicker round here than tractorJust done the maths & it works out at just over 1p per gallon to move it by artic & just over 5p by tanker simply due to speed of carting & capacity carried. Of course, you would have to factor in double handling out of a nurse BUT we are intending to put our lightest tractor on the end of pipe on LGP tyres

Are you able to say roughly what the haulage will cost per hour?
So tractors are either 2p or lorrys 2.5p. Lorrys only 50% more capacity than your tanksDouble the capacity though (pretty much) and as I've mentioned, less lightly to be fingered by camera happy Joe Public
I'll swap my bactos for your cells! My cell count has been climbing for six weeks,to near 250 average,no mastitis and clean filter.Hmmmm ..

Still more work needed to find out what's causing the high bactoscans. Don't think we've EVER had higher bacto than SCC other than the odd one off blip! There's always something with dairying... just commending ourselves on SCC being best ever and we get 2 toxic E coli in 10 days, almost lost one of them but vet intervention saved it although we have lost the quarter. When we had higher cell counts we only had a bad E coli once every 2- years. Both over 100 days in milk too.
Shows how good the collars are! (Silent Herdsman). Blue line is eating, green is cudding. Drop in both at time a good indicator of a poorly cow. Orange line at the bottom is motion (for heat detection) and a red line at bottom indication of increased activity - the 'red loop' is when we put her back in with the others after her being in critical care unit for a few days. She was feeling better so then obviously scoffed for so long she didn't have time to ruminate and then caught up by doing a lot of ruminating!View attachment 776066
Ours frequently ran at that, no clinical mastitis and clean filter, just several chronics who would bumble along perfectly happily with never a clot.I'll swap my bactos for your cells! My cell count has been climbing for six weeks,to near 250 average,no mastitis and clean filter.
29,000l is 6444gl
And moving it legally. Pretty sure 3000g tanker and largish tractor is the max road legal weight.Double the capacity though (pretty much) and as I've mentioned, less likely to be fingered by camera happy Joe Public
Sorry, confidential but advantageous to using an umbilical for off lying land 9 miles away

Don't think you'd be to far off the money at that, this will be similar spec ?@Bald Rick the ad says near offer, id be intrested in the tank on 710s @15k
Intresting. Il have a look. Thank youDon't think you'd be to far off the money at that, this will be similar spec ?View attachment 776158
