Good for you (y) ... only taken about 10 years to make your mind up.
Who’s your buyer?
Was over in your neck of the woods recently at Rotaspiral having our TMR augers renewed. Too pushed for time to call in though. Mum & Dad ok?

If you want any help, numbers to call etc, PM me or you have Matt’s number
 
We have a Storth/EYS 600 Separator here sold by Midland Slurry if your bedding with straw it'll need chopping very short.
I've been using a Teagle 404m hammer mill chopper for bedding cubicles which is now for sale as I'm moving to mattresses.

Everyone is fine thanks the reason for the delay getting into the job was mainly the estate weren’t keen but now Iv gone down the organic route they have given consent look a wile to persuade my parents but the figures did that for me in the end.

Wouldn't just putting different sized weeping walls be a better cheaper option. This will cost a hell of alot in repairs and running it? How would you put your slurry pit liners on low level ground next to a river? Raise the soil bund up or would it have to be a solid tank? J magee

The more I read about separators the more I think a weeping wall would be a better option,it’s the running costs and hassle that puts me off,better off with another store.

Regards a low level lagoon,raise the banking so up in the air.

I use my separator for making bedding so I put up with it. I agree that if the only aim is to separate liquid from solids then a weeping wall makes sense. Especially on a green site. Spend the money once and never have to touch it again has got to be the way forward. I would add that separation is well worth it though. It makes spreading so much easier
