(This is our first time for doing this..........so we are making a bunch of mistakes......time to reassess before fall.........) 

We have been hauling hog slurry by semi tankers to applicators.

Using load stands to load the tankers at the confinements, and the applicators at the fields.

Seems to be unnecessarily messy and not efficient.

Re loading tankers..........they have to back in under the load stands........sometimes it takes one try (me).......or several  (everyone else!) 

Putting the applicators under the load stands is not a big deal, and might be easier than an alternative..........just have to make sure the sock hits the hole freely, which gets a little interesting if the sun is not quite right, or there is mud on the rear windshield.

The question.........surely the pit pump would have enough power to push the slurry from the pit and into a fixed gooseneck fill pipe mounted on the tankers, so wouldn't have to use load stands to load the tankers???

Back the tankers in........connect a hose from the pit pump to the gooseneck fill pipe.................open the tanker lid from the ground to release pressure..........let it pump full.   Gauge on rear ought to indicate how full, so don't have to let it splash to know its full.

A load of rock and a pressure washer ought to keep things from getting so messy.  Use a trap like in a stool situation, so that what the pit pump would not suck back, would be caught in the trap.........

It all hinges on the way the load stand works..........seems to me that pit pump ought to have plenty of power to push straight up into a gooseneck, and let it fall.........or push down thru a trap and then up to top of tanker.

Or, for that matter, why couldn't the fill hose be connected to the pipe used for emptying the tanker..............would the pressure of the increasing load likely overcome the push from the pit pump if tried to load that way??    Would have a little spillage upon disconnect, but am going to have that anyway if using a gooseneck without trap.

CONSTRUCTIVE comments appreciated!  Thanks.
