Conestoga Pit Manure Pumps
You might think that choosing a pit manure pump would be a relatively easy task but that is not often the case. There are a number of critical variables that have to be accounted for as you choose what manure pump will work best for you.
Those variables include but are not limited to the location of your manure pit, the depth of your manure pit, whether or not you can load your tank spreader right beside your pit, and how far away you will be pumping your manure if you cannot load beside your straight wall pit, and what machine you will be using to move and position your manure pump.
Knowing the answer to all of those logistic items will help you choose the type of pump, the size of the pump, and whether you will want a trailered pump or a 2-point hitch manure pump. You can even choose a stationary pit pump that will mount right on your manure pit and stay there. Conestoga’s pit manure pumps are very customizable and there are lots of options available to you.
These manure pumps are designed to work best for dairy and hog farmers with family farm operations. The first thing to understand is the 3 types of pit manure pumps you can choose: high volume pumps, high pressure pumps, or extreme pressure manure pumps.

3 Types Of Manure Pumps
The first thing to understand as you decide what type of manure pump you need is the different intake pumps available to move your product. Conestoga Manufacturing offers 3 different sizes of intake pumps. Each one is designed for a specific application. If you are not sure which manure pump you need you can fill out a contact form or give us a call directly and we will help you determine which manure pump type is best for you.
High Volume Manure Pump
You can tell that this is a high volume pit manure pump because it has a larger opening. High volume pumps will pump larger volumes of manure load faster but because they are lower pressure (due to their larger intake pump openings) they will not pump your manure far away from your pit like a high pressure or extreme pressure manure pump will.
These are best if you are planning on loading your tank spreader right beside or very close to your manure pit.
High Pressure Manure Pump
You can see that this manure pump’s intake opening is smaller, this creates a higher pressure for pumping hence the name, high pressure manure pump. This is our most popular pit pump and it will easily pump manure to another pit or through a dragline to 1,500 feet away at max elevation of 80 feet.
Extreme Pressure Manure Pump
The extreme pressure pump is our most powerful pump. This pit pump is what you want if you are pumping your manure out of your pit, uphill, and as far as 2,000 feet away. This is a pump used by farmers who may want to load right in their field when their tank spreader is empty or if there is no way for them to get their tanks close to their pits for loading. The extreme pressure manure pump will pump your loads on a maximum elevation of 120 feet.
Manure Pump Mounting Options
The next important factor to decide is how you want or need your pit pump mounted. We have 3 basic options for you to choose from: a stationary pump that actually gets mounted to the side of your straight wall manure pit, a 2-point hitch pump that you will need the right sized tractor to lift and use, or a trailered manure pump that comes on a trailer with 2 metal wheels or 2 tires (your choice).
