Bazooka Farmstar’s latest innovation introduces a versatile amphibious vehicle designed to revolutionize manure lagoon management. Engineered for precision, durability, and efficiency, this cutting-edge vehicle combines advanced agitation capabilities with exceptional maneuverability to address the challenges of lagoon maintenance.

The vehicle’s design integrates a floatable frame with a robust propulsion system powered by strategically positioned propellers. Unlike traditional systems relying on single high-pressure pumps that wear out quickly, this invention uses a vertical-oriented propeller for optimal agitation and an adjustable conduit to direct liquid manure streams with precision. The result is efficient nutrient mixing and deep agitation of even the most challenging lagoon environments.

Adaptability is a core feature. The propellers can be adjusted vertically or horizontally, enabling seamless transitions between agitation and propulsion modes. This ensures effective material distribution while maintaining stability, even in demanding conditions. With four ground-engaging wheels and an amphibious design, the vehicle transitions effortlessly between land and water, enhancing its operational scope.

Simplifying maintenance was a key focus. The design reduces reliance on complex hydraulic systems and minimizes moving parts, ensuring reliability and lower operational costs. Remote control and autonomous operation capabilities further enhance convenience, allowing operators to focus on efficiency without being tethered to manual controls.

By addressing the limitations of current manure lagoon management solutions—such as high wear, insufficient deep agitation, and limited maneuverability—Bazooka Farmstar’s invention offers a transformative approach. Whether it’s improving nutrient mixing for agriculture or reducing lagoon maintenance costs, this vehicle sets a new standard for practicality and performance in lagoon management.
