Septic Tank Pumping -- Do you need to
Sounds like your town is much more remote than mine, although we still utilize septic tanks here (on topic again). I transferred to a city position to "better" my job opportunities but would never live there. I have commuted for twenty three years. Thursday I worked until 2130, headed home in the rain and light fog. I was in front of the neighbor's house cresting the hill and a huge buck jumped from the bank into the side of my company S-10. I still can't believe he didn't come through the window. Last thing I recall seeing of him, he was brushing himself off and continued his run into the field. Probably a good $2k damage to the vehicle and I didn't even get a pot roast.

Septic Tank Pumping -- Do you need to
To all you Tractor Owners.
Never mow over the Septic Tank with your tractor or even a riding mower.
A neighbor of mine was mowing on his garden tractor and the tank caved in when he went over top of it.
His was a concrete tank.
As tanks get older they tend to deteriorate and get weaker.
This is true of both steel and concrete ones.
Do your mowing over the tank with a push mower or a weed eater.

I have had septic tanks in each of the three houses I have owned, and I have never pumped a tank once.The longest I was in a house was 13 years.So is it really necessary to pump them out, or am I just lucky.My current house has the exposed manhole cover so it would be super easy, and I have lived here 4 years.If it is pumped out, what about all those bacteria additives is that just bull ____ ?DennisCTB

I had mine pumped out after 12 years. The bacteria are all natural for decomposition. Chlorine and other stuff hinders this.

Septic Tank Pumping -- Do you need to
Thanks for bringing up this post, I think I will use it to mark the date that I have had it pumped, as I forget when the last time was, been i this house 14 years now and had it pumped twice. Must be due or maybe not ........

Septic Tank Pumping -- Do you need to
I was thinking of doing it myself with a trash pump into my tractor bucket. Anybody done so?
I've been trying to find the rules on dumping/spreading septage, with no success.

Auerbach: After watching (several times) what it takes to suck up 1500 gallons of $#!+, there is no way I would attempt it with the equipment you describe.

Here think they charge from $100 to $200 dollars and dumping is very regulated must go into sewer system. No way I would try it myself. Then I don't have the pump or way to haul.

Nice theory, but it sure wouldn't work on my system. You cannot get a loader bucket into a 6x8 concrete cube with a small manhole type lid...... besides the fact that the thing is 5 feet deep and buried under 3 feet of soil.
The pros don't use pumps. They use a vacuum truck. Think of a 3000 gallon wet/dry shop vac with a 6 inch hose.
