TBH it’s the movement they enjoy. So much so that they often try and stay on. Really don’t like it being stopped. Seems to open the crapping valve

Absolutely true about enjoying the ride, one of my milkers does 700, one day 150 came on again for another spin!

We have one of these that pumps from the parlour sump into the bigger tank, this takes all the parlour washings and water off the rotary, think were on our second since 2012. Its either the biggest or second biggest with the vortex impeller.

Would it deal with a crusty bit which comes off the side of the footbath for example? It’s not always pure liquid that goes into our tank which I think is mainly our problem. Maybe need a proper macerator pump?
My thinking would be to have the ability to blow DW back in to each tank if needed during a stir OR use bugs

Generally ours is taking water and crap from the parlour so all fresh stuff rather than crusty, we do get a crust forming in the tank and we give it a stir up with the volume washer.
I can't agree with this more. A separator needs good backup. Every farm is different and it took me a fair bit of trial and error to figure out how to get it to run efficiently with my slurry. You need a supplier who has seen all types of slurry to help tweak your machine and get it running well from the word go. Many salesmen will tell you it's the slurry at fault when things don't work but in reality most of these machines can be tweaked with the right know how.Until this autumn I thought that Seperator’s were the devils spawn. Now somebody competent has taken over running our system and it has become a thing of beauty. No brake downs, no blockages. And no backlogs

Two identical rotaries here. Whichever one I run fills the lagoon about 300000 gallon slower, I’ve run both farms. Everything goes in there so I can’t separate it out but I think a lot of it is just how the rotary is run. That just leads me to believe you could potentially find some water saving in there somewhere. Even if it’s just 5-10%. Maybe worth looking at. My experience is that a rotary uses less water to clean manure off than an equivalent swing over.
Used to run a spider type spreading system where you run the cable out and it winds itself in on that. It’s a lot of work for millions of gallons of manure per year but I don’t see why it couldn’t handle your parlor water more easily.

I think when you feed cows has a direct relationship with how much shyte gets deposited in the parlour, also parlour feeding and volume washing definitely encourages the little darlings to slacken their backsides.

I was wanting to septic tank and reed bed filter just the pipe line - tank washings. There's so little in it to start with.

I was just thinking a reed bed system, didn't they install one on the Archers?

Sounds about right! Seems it is only the foreign owned utilities who are allowed to pollute with impunity, then to make up for their "get out of jail free card" we get penalised!

The problem with them was that some people vastly over estimated what you can do with them.

it is a long running radio soap opera on radio 4, been running for about 60 years, based on a small village in "Borsetshire" and the farming families/village that surround it. Originally it was set up to give advice to farmers on new advice on ways to be more efficient.

Thank fir the info. Must be worth a listen if it’s still running after 60 years. Only radio I can remember from home was Late night love,amd our tune. both were real life events sent into the shows and read out at the appropriate time. Some were funny on last night love but usually Our tune was a sappy tear jerker. Still way better than some crap they churn out today.

Ambridge soap opera on an "average" small village, lets see, two men marrying and paying a surrogate to have their child, man having an affair and his mistress trying to kill him, another lover of another man conning old ladies out of their life savings, alcoholism, battered wife stabbing her husband, oh, modern day slavery, typical small English village! I have probably missed a few things!
