Get a nurse tank or dig a small hole near the pump for the tankers to dump n go

For the amount of times I will do it I wouldn't bother.
That system works perfect if there's enough tankers drawing and there not meeting eachother on the road
Silage trailer with a pipe up over the side to hook the the tankers too and a valve on the front corner to hook the pump to seems to be the way to go now

 
That trailer / one identical is gone to a outfit near here .

Hole in the ground works well with the lad that pumps mine
He has 1 or 3 big dairy units renting ground a fair way from the main unit
The tankers just reverse to the hole dump n go no pipes to mess with

Have drawn a slurry to the hole in the ground to be spread with the pipes work`s well . But definitely not legal .
 
I have a six metre hook lift grain body. How many 3000 gallon tankers would it hold and what fittings would it need for a pump.

Spread at a farm where they have an artic trailer in one block of land for if it won't travel it holds 3 loads comfortably but wouldn't hold 4. A 3000g tanker will be around 13.5m³ so assuming that your bin is 8ft wide and 8ft tall it would take 2.5 loads. At 6ft high and 8ft wide it wouldn't quite hold 2 loads

I’ve thought of various things over the years,pillow tanks,hooklift bins,shipping containers etc

I’m just going to dig a hole ,might end up holding a million gallons by the time I’m done.

You wouldn't get away with that around here :nono:. Would need to be lined and planning permission not likely given even at that
 
Went for a walk up to the Carrig of Kyle. I remember the woods being Scots pine and being cut and replanted . The replanted ones suffered wind blow and were cleared and replanted again. I have seen three different plantings on this site. Not sure what the tanker is about. Maybe once a day milking gives him time to launder diesel .
