At Phil's Pumping and Fabrication, we understand that for large-scale livestock operations, manure management isn't just a chore—it's a critical component of your profitability and environmental stewardship. When it comes to applying liquid manure efficiently, uniformly, and with minimal soil compaction, dragline hose systems are the undisputed industry standard.
If you're looking to upgrade your nutrient management plan, you've come to the right place. Explore our current inventory of high-quality, reliable dragline manure equipment for sale.
Why Invest in a Dragline System?
Traditional tanker spreaders have their place, but they come with significant drawbacks: high labor costs, traffic across fields leading to severe soil compaction, and the risk of nutrient runoff. A dragline system revolutionizes this process by offering:
- Dramatically Reduced Soil Compaction: By eliminating heavy tanker traffic from your fields, you protect soil structure, improve water infiltration, and promote healthier root systems for your crops.
- Unmatched Efficiency and Speed: Direct injection from the lagoon to the field via a powerful pump and hose system allows for a continuous flow of manure. This means you can cover more acres in less time, especially crucial during short application windows.
- Precision Nutrient Placement: Dragline systems work seamlessly with injection toolbars, placing manure directly into the soil. This minimizes odor, virtually eliminates ammonia volatilization, and ensures valuable nutrients are available right at the root zone for your crops.
- Lower Long-Term Costs: While the initial investment can be significant, the savings in labor, fuel, and equipment wear-and-tear make a dragline system a financially sound decision for any operation focused on the future.
What to Look for in Dragline Equipment
Building a complete and effective dragline system requires several key components. Our inventory features top-tier equipment from reputable manufacturers, ensuring you get a system built to last.
Core Components of a Dragline System:
- Dragline Pumps: The heart of the system. We offer high-capacity, durable slurry pumps designed to handle the abrasive nature of manure and push it over long distances. Look for features like easy-maintenance designs and robust impellers.
- Drag Hose: This is the workhorse that gets pulled through the fields. Key considerations include:
- Reinforcement: Steel or synthetic wire-braid reinforcement for high-pressure applications.
- Abrasion Resistance: A tough, smooth bore exterior to withstand being dragged across various terrains.
- Diameter: Sizes typically range from 4 to 7 inches, matched to your pump's capacity and desired flow rate.
- Hydraulic Reels: A well-engineered reel is essential for smooth, fast hose retrieval. We carry reels with powerful hydraulic motors and reliable tensioning systems to make cleanup efficient and safe.
- Injection Toolbars: The final step in the process. Our toolbars are built for durability and precise depth control, ensuring optimal nutrient placement while slicing through residue and soil.
