If you got the pipes and couplings and some ibc's about it wouldn't take long to drop half of each ibc into yours on the ground straight off the lorry before unloading .
Used to get deliveries many years ago made with a standard flatbed and he used to pump out the IBC's on board.

Drivers get all arsey if they have to wait while faffing with IBC's I find! :(

I got peed with paying the price and just went for happy shopper molasses in the end to just get cows to eat straw , it got silly in the end what it was costing 🤷
We use it for sheep, that’s why we want the urea otherwise they drink it like sweets
It’s getting expensive though , we have a thousand litres in hand but haven’t bought more , it’s as cheap to put a bit of provin through the snacker

It's getting too cost far too much .....you will tell me I'm daft but thinking of mixing the Brinnicombe half and half with straight mollasses, that will fetch price back a bit!🤔

You’d be halving your urea level, so intakes would increase. I’m not sure you’d save much money at all if you’re feeding it ad-lib, but likely get more energy into them?
