Skid Loader-Mounted Manure Pump, Agitator

Skid Loader-Mounted Manure Pump, Agitator TRACTORS Skid Steer Loaders 25-6-26 "You can do almost anything with a skid steer loader so why not use it to pump manure?", asks the manufacturer of a new quick-tach boom that pumps or agitates. The 10-ft. long boom is made from 4-in. sq. tubing. The pump and agitator mount on a separate 2-ft. long section that slides over the boom and can be positioned anywhere along the boom. "It's much easier to operate than a 3-pt. mounted pump or agitator because you can see the pump right in front of you," says Ray Nesseth, NTH, Inc., Barron, Wis. "Another advantage is that you can lift the pump much higher than you can with a 3-pt. unit. As a result, you can position the boom vertically and drop the pump or agitator straight down through a hole and into a pit or tank. "The pump is available in 10, 12, and 14-in. sizes. The 10-in. pump requires 8 to 10 gal. per minute of hydraulic oil while the 14-in. pump requires 15 to 20 gal. The standard 10-ft. boom has a 6-ft. long reach. However, the boom can be custom built up to 16 ft. long to provide a 12-ft. reach." The mounting plate and boom sell for $650. The agitator sells for $1,500. The 10-in. pump sells for $1,520, the 12-in. pump for $1,920, and the 14-in. pump for $2,420.
