Not sure who else to ask...

I've been looking and looking trying to learn about a manure pump(like the patz 1512) since my dad has used one for years and I would like to put one in my barn so i don't have to haul every day and all the management associated with that. Dad had a badger bn122 pump which seems to not exist on the internet and the patz pump is the only new one like it that I've found...does anyone know what it would cost to install such a machine?? Anyone know of other companies still making them??

This pump is designed to go inside the barn and "flush" slurry manure out of the tank it has and through a big plastic pipe into a manure pit. Apparently they were popular in "mole hill" systems as my grandpa has said before. That's where someone who would usually haul daily pours a cement pad outside the barn and uses this pump to push manure and bedding up through a hole in the center of the pad to make their manure pile instead of hauling it every day or physically hauling manure out to a pile. I'm willing to bet almost nobody knows what these are cuz my dad is one of two people that I know that has one and the other guy I'm not even sure if he has the same type of pump...

I worked at a Electrical Power PLant with a coal ash pond.. WE had SLURRY pumps that were electric or hydraulic operated. The PUMP was an impeller type pump. The could pump 50% solids as long as some water was present. They would pump chunks / rocks up to 2 inches in diameter.... You might consider that.....  I saw one  hanging on the bucket of an excavator once... They lowered it slowly into a ash pond with 6 inches of water on top. It ate a hole 2 ft in diameter and 10 ft deep in a couple minutes... look up SLURRY PUMP.

Anybody that had a slurrystore had some kind of pump. Sand bedding and pumps are not a good combination. If I was doing something like that I would try to stay above ground when that stuff quits working maintenance is expensive.
