Скачать или смотреть Cleaning Cattle Pens Like a Pro! 🐄↓ Farmer’s Efficient Manure Shoveling Technique to Load a Tricycle

"Hard work and smart techniques turn even the dirtiest tasks into efficient routines—lessons from the barnyard."
This video captures a seasoned farmer skillfully shoveling cattle manure from a pen into a tricycle cart, demonstrating a method that balances speed, efficiency, and minimal strain. His approach, refined through years of labor, highlights how simple tools and body mechanics can streamline an otherwise grueling chore.

Step-by-Step Process & Techniques
1. Tool Selection & Setup

Tool: A wide-mouth steel shovel (or flat spade) with a D-handle grip for better leverage.
Tricycle Prep: Lines the cart bed with plastic sheeting or straw to ease unloading and prevent sticking.

2. Shoveling Technique

Dry vs. Wet Manure:

For dry manure: Uses a scooping motion, sliding the shovel horizontally under piles to lift full loads.
For wet manure: Taps the shovel edge to break up clumps before scooping, reducing splatter.


Body Mechanics:

Bends at the knees, not the waist, to avoid back strain.
Rotates torso to throw manure forward into the cart, not sideways (reduces repetitive motion injuries).



3. Loading the Tricycle

Layer Method: Spreads manure evenly to prevent overloading one side (risk of tipping).
Height Efficiency: Stacks manure no higher than the cart’s sides to avoid spills during transport.

4. Post-Shoveling Cleanup

Tool Care: Rinses the shovel with water to prevent corrosion.
Pen Maintenance: Scatters lime or dry straw over cleaned areas to absorb moisture and odors.


Why This Method Works

Speed: A skilled worker can load 1 ton of manure in 20–30 minutes.
Low Cost: Requires only basic tools (shovel: ~10;tricycle: 10; tricycle: ~10;tricycle: 200).
Eco-Friendly: Direct transport to composting/field reduces pollution vs. mechanical methods.


Critical Tips

Safety: Wear rubber boots and gloves to avoid slips and bacterial exposure.
Timing: Clean pens early morning when manure is firmer (easier to shovel).
Avoid Overloading: Tricycles typically hold 300–500 kg; exceeding this risks axle damage.

Final Thought: "This farmer’s shovel isn’t just moving waste—it’s a lesson in transforming backbreaking labor into a rhythm of efficiency and care."
