Any pond stirrer in an effluent pond is going to be subject to wear and tear over time. For contractors, there can be an added concern with wear and tear due to the common issue of sediment and crusting on top of effluent ponds. Nevada PTO Pond Stirrers are designed to be robust and strong, which enables contractors to break up crust with equipment that is durable for the job. With a Nevada TyphoonTM propeller, the stirrer creates a strong thrust to quickly break up the material and thoroughly mix the pond for pumping.
Efficient Mixing
Proper mixing is a crucial step for contractors before pumping effluent onto paddocks. Many contractors opt for the TurboStir™ 6000 or 7000, as these models serve as high-speed pond stirrers, efficiently mixing the effluent with minimal effort.
Nevada pond stirrers have a Typhoon™ propeller delivering superior thrust compared to other models, thanks to a robust bearing mechanism featuring Enduro Block reinforced bearings for enhanced durability. Designed to withstand abrasion and handle foreign objects like wire in the pond, this equipment is also low maintenance. While stirring effluent is never simple, Nevada’s equipment stands out as the top choice for contractors, offering unmatched reliability and performance among stirrers on the market.
Versitile and Mobile
Another benefit for a contractor is the ability to take the PTO pond stirrer from farm to farm. With an optional wheel kit that can be fitted, or mounted to a trailer, the system offers flexibility for the contractor. Often contractors will use the farmer’s tractor to stir the effluent pond, a TurboStirTM 6000 may be better suited in this circumstance as it requires less horsepower than a TurboStirTM 7000.
Nevada stirrers are engineered for easy depth adjustment, featuring a hydraulic angle mechanism that can be raised or lowered directly from the cab. Their design ensures smooth operation without interference from steelwork or frames around the propellor, allowing for uninterrupted effluent flow. This efficient flow minimizes the buildup of weeds or debris, so when the stirrer is lifted from the pond, it remains free from unwanted material.
Another type of pond stirrer that is popular for contractors is a pump that stirs the pond. The pump is jetted out onto the surface of the pond, which can be effective in some cases. However, this type of pump will experience higher wear and tear issues than a Nevada stirrer. Mechanical type stirrers will generally stir better than a pump type mixer. If the storage facilities include an above ground tank, a pond stirrer can also operate as dual purpose equipment with the ability to be attached to the front end loader using a hydraulic drive to stir above ground tanks. The adjustable settings allow for contractors to easily switch from mixing an above ground tank to stirring an effluent pond.
