I can imagine.
Up the lane they broke one of the slats with 13t apparently was a butt clenching moment...
They empty it every few years ...lower bobcat in and use clamshell on 13t...not a pleasant job.

Yeah shouldn't of gone in i suppose - put as much weight on as i could before committing, then made sure to sit on top of support walls while i gently scraped it out, ok till it isn't and then its fook up !

The cow sheds around here are all going slatted floors, robot floor scrapers with robot milking machines at one end.. cows never leave. Just drive feed wagon around the outside of the shed afew times aday and away you go! My lads been working at one which holds 370cows, and that’s neigh on small scale these days!

No consideration gets given to cleaning them though. I believe there has been a few fatalities of people going down there to do the final clear out once pumped out. It's confined space with a lack of airflow. Should be done with a remote control machine really

Well after almost 5 years of service the iveco decided to rain derv all over the exhaust manifold and turbo....this was the culprit.

No idea why, it wasn't rubbing on anything....fortunately I was very close to the yard.

I used to like roofing once. Now I hate getting up there. Especially old cheap slate ones. Everything is cracked everywhere and I’ve broken 6 more with the ladder as the rests not padded. Flue terminal right up under the cement ridge and the last guy used screws and sticks like.
I’ve put the new one in with copious amounts CT1 and prayer, so will make damn sure that Im not the next guy up there .
Used to do it with ladders but these days I’m a wimp and always use scaffold tower. Gives me a false sense of security.
