Alton, Ia
My holes are at the bottom. If you don't have liquid crossing over, you are trying to stir a pit 50' wide from one side only. That is different than pumping a 50' wide building from both sides. We alternate loading from opposite corners every dozen loads or so. All it takes is another load stand and hose, any custom pumper is going to have several hundred thousand $ tied up already, to spend another couple thousand on another stand and alternate loading is peanuts.

I was shocked the first time I looked into a pit being well agitated. Shocked by how much and fast the manure was moving in the pit, even behind columns and in corners. And yes, the curtains were dropped on a windy day before we entered.
