"No-Plug" Liquid Manure Nozzle

"No-Plug" Liquid Manure Nozzle MANURE HANDLING Equipment 23-1-28 Fed up with lumps in liquid manure plugging the nozzle of his honey wagon, English farmer Peter Newbrook removed the existing rubber cone and replaced it with a hinged metal one he designed in his shop. A small hydraulic ram keeps the two halves of the cone closed, leaving an opening just big enough for liquid to exit. If the nozzle plugs, he puts the spool lever into the float position allowing the pressure of the manure to force the jaws wide open. The result is that the driver doesn't have to get off the tractor and the blockage clears in seconds.
