Alton, Ia | Your last idea is the simplest, cheapest and quickest. The pressure seen by the pump is a function of the manure density and height of the fluid (manure) to the point of discharge. A loadstand would actually induce the highest pressure, since it goes up over the tanker by a few feet. The gooseneck pipe would be less, but just simply hooking into the bottom would be the least, at on average, half the depth. Plus you have less pressure drop with less piping involved. Would it make a difference, probably not. We are limited on our fill speed with a loadstand more by it splashing at the discharge hose than head pressure, with the bottom port you would not have that problem. For that reason I also eliminated all the friction loss issues such as pipe bends, etc.
Just hook it up and let it rip.
Disclaimer: I have not used a tanker for roading yet, will probably this fall. Keep us posted, please. | |
