The Dag Man
LOCHIE AND GAVIN FAIR.
The Dag Man’s super sucker If the sheep manure under your woolshed is building up and you would like it removed then The Dag Man can do the job using their suction unit. The Dag Man’s suction unit is an industrial unit they imported and is the only one like it in New Zealand. The unit can cope with the manure and is also capable of sucking up mud, sludge, stones and water. It is a two-man operation based in Masterton with Gavin Fair the main operator. The team can travel to wherever they are needed. Gavin says they crawl under the woolshed with up to 40 metres of suction hoses, needing limited access to get under the woolshed, so at quite a few sheds there is no need to remove parts of the shed. The team park the suction unit close to the woolshed. They are then able to suck the manure and discharge it a distance away from the woolshed. The Dag Man team also have a supersonic air gun that breaks up and removes hard buildup from under the woolsheds. They are also able to use this in the count out pens and in under-cover yards where they also use their dingo.
While under the woolsheds, the team will inspect for rotten piles or anything else that could have an effect on the important farm asset. Gavin will report these findings to the farmer on completion of the suction job. Every time the sheep are in the woolshed manure is going underneath which is increasing the ammonia build-up. By removing the manure it has health and safety benefits for all who use the woolshed including the shearing gang. There are benefits for the sheep as well with the increased air flow. Gavin does free quotes, and for every job done $100 will be donated to the school or club of the client’s choice.
