If you're managing a large-scale livestock operation, you know that manure handling is one of your most critical—and challenging—tasks. Traditional methods like box spreaders and tractors can be time-consuming, lead to soil compaction, and struggle to keep up with the volume. That's where a professional dragline manure system comes in, revolutionizing how farms manage nutrients and protect their valuable land. Dragline Manure Equipment For Sale
At Phil's Pumping and Fab, we don't just sell equipment; we provide solutions for a more profitable and sustainable operation. Our inventory of new and used dragline manure equipment is carefully selected to help you inject efficiency directly into your soil.
Why Invest in a Dragline Manure System?
A dragline system eliminates the need for tractors and tankers to drive across your fields. Instead, a powerful pump stationed at your lagoon sends manure through a high-capacity hose directly to a toolbar, which injects it precisely into the ground.
The benefits are undeniable:
Dramatically Reduce Soil Compaction: Keep heavy equipment off your fields to preserve soil structure, improve water infiltration, and promote healthier root systems for better crop yields.
Unmatched Speed and Efficiency: Apply thousands of gallons per hour, covering more acres in less time and allowing you to hit critical application windows.
Maximize Nutrient Retention: Subsurface injection places nutrients directly in the root zone and significantly reduces nitrogen volatilization (loss to the air as ammonia) and phosphorus runoff. This means more value from your manure and a smaller environmental footprint.
Enhanced Safety and Odor Control: Injecting manure minimizes surface odor and runoff risk, making your operation a better neighbor and protecting local waterways.
Key Components of a Dragline System For Sale
A complete system consists of several key pieces of equipment. Whether you need a single component or a full setup, we can help.
1. The Pump: The Heart of the System
This is the engine that moves the material. We offer lagoon pumps and reel pumps from trusted brands, designed to handle abrasive slurry and high volumes without clogging. Choosing the right pump horsepower and type is crucial for your operation's specific needs.
2. The Injection Toolbar: Precision Placement
The toolbar is what does the actual work in the field. Dragged behind a tractor, it features multiple shanks or discs that open the soil, inject the manure, and then close the slot. We stock toolbars in various widths and configurations to match your tractor's horsepower and your row spacing.
3. The Hose Reel Drag Hose: The Vital Link
The reel manages the high-capacity polyethylene hose that carries manure from the pump to the toolbar. A well-designed reel ensures smooth deployment and retrieval. The drag hose itself is built to be tough, flexible, and resistant to abrasion and weathering.
New vs. Used Dragline Equipment: Which is Right For You?
New Equipment: Offers the latest technology, full manufacturer warranties, and peak efficiency. Ideal for operators looking for maximum reliability and the newest features for the long haul.
Used Equipment: A cost-effective way to step into dragline technology or expand your existing capabilities. Our used inventory is thoroughly inspected and reconditioned to ensure it's field-ready and represents a tremendous value.
Find the Right Dragline Manure Equipment For Your Farm
Selecting the right system depends on several factors:
Operation Size: The number of head of livestock and acres you need to cover.
Manure Consistency: The solids content of your slurry (lagoon vs. pit).
Soil Types: The conditions you typically apply in.
Tractor Horsepower: The available power to pull the toolbar.
