John’s new system includes 500,000 litre concrete ProSump dairy effluent tank, a Nevada 6 metre PTO stirrer (Nevada TurboStir™ 6000) and a Nevada 8,200L Single Axle Slurry Tanker (Nevada MB80-EX).
Naturally, John chose Nevada
John chose Nevada because the products stood out compared to other brands. Nevada products impressed him, and he knew they would last because all the main parts are galvanised. He has always had good service from Nevada, so he naturally chose Nevada as a first choice.
The biggest advantage with his Nevada 8,000 litre slurry tanker, John said, is that he can take it wherever he wants. At the moment he is using it to fertilise his silage paddocks, which are actually half a mile away from his effluent pond. So having his Nevada Effluent tanker to cart the dairy effluent there is very convenient.
When choosing the Nevada 8,000 litre slurry tanker, John tallied up how much it was going to cost to get power down to the pond, plus the cost of hose and pipes. He worked out that it was more cost effective to get a Nevada slurry tanker. A Nevada slury tanker is more versatile and user-friendly than having dairy effluent pipes everywhere.
The Nevada PTO pond stirrer, John said, was quite amazing really; when he first put it in the slurry and started it up he couldn’t see anything happening at first; then all of a sudden, right at the back, the dairy effluent started swirling up!
