Chilliwack, British Columbia | Is there somewhere for the scrapers to dump into now? How long does it last? Or will there need to be some kind of reception pit built? Or?? We go about 300', have a 4" pump with 10hp electric on it, doesn't work really well, but it does work. I would think a 6" pump, maybe have to go to 20-30hp, correct size line buried, that part is not cheap either, but one and done. Thick manure, your best bet might actually be the piston pump, apparently they just plain move snit!
Another thing to think of, elevation change? Are you pumping uphill? Downhill? How long does existing pit last? Maybe a pto pump and lay flat hose when existing pit is full is probably the cheapest option, the most labour on pumping day, but should be easier than tanking. Don't ask my how I know...
Good luck!

Getting dairy manure from barn to a pit that is 800ft away?
