Patz Industrial Models 6000 & 8000 PTO Drive Vertical Pit Pumps - Overview

Agitate FAST, Transfer FAST, Load FAST


Single or dual agitation nozzles flex 5° above to 35° below horizontal. Knife-style valve can be shifted with the PTO speed at idle.

Features & Benefits

  • Choose from two pump mounting options for agitating below-ground liquid-manure storage pit and for loading liquid spreaders:
    • Stationary base secured to pit or
    • Two-point tractor hitch with hydraulics for tilting.
  • Match your pit depth with choice of four pump lengths:
    6, 8, 10 and 12 feet (1.83, 2.44, 3.05 and 3.66 m).
    Large U-bolts allow the frame to be adjusted up or down for precise placement.
  • Match your desired speed of transfer and loading with two pump sizes:
    6-inch (152 mm) and 8-inch (203 mm) pipe.
  • Reduce agitation time with dual nozzles that blend crusted manure and settled solids into a liquid slurry fast.
  • Get better pit clean out by agitating every corner by adjusting nozzles (rotating 270° and raising/lowering 20°).
  • Remove clumps of straw with chopping action over impeller shredder plate.
  • When there is no crusting or settled solids, pump liquid slurry with low-investment pump or add options as needed.
  • Save time when agitating, transferring, and loading due to swept-back impeller blades for high-volume pumping [up to 3,500 gallons (13,247 liters) per minute]. Transfer or load while agitating.
  • Get high load-carrying capacity and long service life from tapered roller bearings in oil bath chamber protected by three seals.
  • Lower repair costs with impeller housing of abrasion-resistant steel in high-wear areas.
  • A 3-quart oil reservoir makes it easy to monitor oil level in the bearing pack.
  • Reduce maintenance costs and get long service life from heavy-duty gearbox.
  • Tractor Requirement: 100 HP minimum
  • Ask for more information about remote agitation/storage systems.



Easily insert pump into pit because it is articulated on two-point hitch. Enjoy the convenience of all-hydraulic controls or choose manual controls.

The loading pipe is 20 feet long (6.1 m) and includes a wheeled undercarriage.
