Eugene Casey’s Temuka dairy farm has a huge pond to store the effluent from his 1000+ cows…but with a strong smell and crust, Eugene could tell his pond wasn’t healthy. After trying a few solutions, he tried PondBugs and hasn’t looked back...
Eugene has a large farm situated on two sides of the road. Effluent from the cow shed flows into a saucer where he can pump out to the irrigator, and excess effluent gets pumped to a huge effluent pond across the road. Eugene originally reached out to Nevada looking for a portable stirrer he can use for both the saucer and the pond, and a slurry tanker so he can make use of the effluent in the pond.
After a visit to the farm, Lloyd recommended a TurboStir7000 PTO Stirrer. Attaching to a tractor, the PTO stirrer provides the portability Eugene needed for use across both storage areas, but also the power to give the larger pond a really good stir in a short amount of time.
The slurry tanker just made sense for Eugene’s situation. With big storage across the road, he wanted the ability to go hard spreading when it was practical, and to spread wherever he needed to. A 14,700L slurry tanker was the ideal size.
All was going well with the PTO stirrer and slurry tanker but given the large amount of effluent being stored in the pond, Eugene couldn’t get rid of the smell and crust formed quickly.
Then Lloyd suggested he try PondBugs, and Eugene’s been using it consistently for almost 3 years!
