What is this implement?

At about 3 minutes and 53 seconds into this video there
is an implement that looks to be dragging a hose all over
the field behind it. What is it? Some sort of manure knife?
Why drag the hose all over?

That hose is moving liquid manure to the injector the tractor is pulling. The advantage of the hose drag systems is you do not compact the ground with the massive weight of the large liquid manure tanks. You can also move massive amounts of manure faster than hauling it. My youngest son worked for a fellow that could pump manure up to five miles from the liquid pit.

The rig in the picture looks like one I have seen in other videos form Europe. They actually haul it with semis trucks and pump them off at the fields edge. There is some of that done here in the US too.
 
The use drag hoses around here they run them several miles they snake
them through culverts to get under roads. I've also seen them haul
with trucks and pump into a tank then pump into the line from that.
There's several interesting stories one place they misjudged the wind
next day they were scrubbing tombstone in a small cemetery .

Sorry for interjecting a nonsequiter here, but I'm a new guy who just registered and tried to post a new thread about urgent hydraulic problems with my IH3444. The website hasn't yet allowed me to start a new post, so for the time being please reply if you know the system.
 
I'll start a new thread up above... see if you can reply, and tell us what's wrong.
 
Those aren't your Grandpas tractors, that's for sure! The tractors are interesting, but there are a few more shots where I would like to know what they were either planting or just what they were doing.
 
Yes thats common here in IOWA they can pump from the pit for a mile if needed have a booster pump halfway that way no down time just keep going till pit is empty. Here the rigs arent that wide maybe just 20ft or so several knives.
 
Royse, THANK YOU for posting that. Had to copy that URL . Absolutely amazing the technological advancements in the last 100
years; - sure beats a horse-drawn, single bottom, walk-behind plow. lol . That first tractor, the Push/Pull Double Articulated
is the first of that type that I have ever seen, - NEAT!

(PS: Remember guys, I'm a Miner not a Farmer; but I love machinery.)

Unless my eyes deceive me the first new
modern tractor is the 3 830 john deere
tractors that were put together . That
tractor is around 50 years old and if
that's modern hey I ain't that old anymore!
! Just made my day
 
starting at the 10 minute mark , the guy sitting on the hood of his moving tractor is interesting. next tractor seems to be making drainage slots and then transferring the displaced dirt on to the surface. dirt looks really really wet. next clip shows a tractor forming compacted raised beds. anyone know what that would be for? Thanks, Bill

What kind of mining do you do?
 
It saves a lot of road damage also. About 10 miles from my parents, a large dairy convinced the county to let him dig up the road so he could bury the lines. They didn't want to let him until he told them how many thousands of loads of liquid it would take to empty his facility.
