Areas of application
Liquid manure distribution by hose is becoming increasingly popular in agriculture. And no wonder, because the system spreads slurry and digestate in a way that protects the soil, saves time and allows greater flexibility.
The investment pays for itself in increased yield. Moreover, our liquid manure hose ensures precise and environmentally friendly fertilization of almost any ground, even on slopes.
So how does the hose-based process differ from traditional distribution using a slurry tank?
When liquid manure is spread by hose, no heavy slurry tanker needs to drive across the field – a pump with feeder hose delivers the slurry directly from the slurry pit to where it’s needed – the field! The constant to and fro between the field and the slurry store is no more, and there’ll be less dirt on access ways and roads.
As the towing vehicle with spreader and suction hose is lighter than a tractor with conventional slurry tanker, soil compression is minimal when spreading by hose.
Even in early spring, when the soil is wet or slightly frozen, the liquid manure hose combination can move up and down the field loop by loop without damaging the soil, keeping the suction hose moving non-stop until the ground has received precisely the right amount of liquid manure.
