Hausner Farms in Sauk City, WI was bought by Karl and Hermine Hausner in November of 1985 with just 44 dairy cows. Today, the operation is over 4,000 acres with 2,800 head of cattle. Rich Annen has been managing the farm for the past 19 years.
In July of 2017, Rich purchased a Patz 4200 Walking Beam Liquid Manure Tanker from his local Patz dealer. He quickly put the tanker to work. Rich said,
“I know that since we’ve purchased the Patz tanker, and before putting it away for the winter, we’ve run over 4 million gallons of manure through it. So far we just love how it works.”
Hausner Farms spreads manure on corn, wheat, and hay ground, which is mostly used as feed for their cattle.
Patz Liquid Manure Tankers come with several standard features, including a rear tool bar mount that supports popular attachments – including injectors. Rich mounted a Bazooka Farmstar Toolbar Injector onto the rear of his Manure Tanker. “We bought the Bazooka tool bar with the Patz tanker and really love the way it incorporates the manure right in [the ground]. Works especially well when applied to hay ground. Doesn’t disturb the ground and yet gets the manure [in].”
The maneuverability of the Patz tanker impressed Rich. He says the Patz, “seems to hold its ground better on our hilly terrain” compared to other brands he’s owned. He commented on the overall low maintenance of the machine and the ease of getting to areas for regular maintenance. Rich really is impressed by the high-volume, front impeller which pumps the manure
quickly out of the tanker. The speed at which the tanker unloads has ended up saving the farm time and increased their production. He expects the payback period to be about 2 years.
Rich enjoyed working with his local dealer, Ron Bindl, of Bindl Sales & Service Inc. Rich knows that Ron sold him a great tanker at a fair price, and he would recommend both his Patz Dealer, and his Patz Manure Tanker, to others.
4200 TANKER WITH TOOLBAR ATTACHMENT IS A WINNER!

Why Choose Blue?There are 2 questions about Vertical Mixers we get quite often:
Why Vertical?“Feed particles mix when falling together simultaneously” – Tom Oelberg, PhD
In 2017, 72%* of farms now feed a TMR – and nearly 70% of those mixers are vertical. Vertical is the mixing method of choice for four key reasons:
• Cost - The vertical TMR is a simple machine with fewer moving parts than horizontal mixing. Vertical mixers have lower operating and maintenance costs and higher reliability.
• Customization – Choose from 6 different multiple discharge positions with 6 conveyor and feed-out equipment options.
• Speed - Vertical mixers load, mix, and feed out faster; incorporating ingredients as fast as you can fill it.
• Effective Fiber - Vertical mixing processes long fiber stored in large square or round bales (dry or baleage). Bovine nutrition research recommends 45% of the ration should be longer than 5/16” and 3% longer than 1 ½” to maintain healthy rumen pH levels.

QUALITY ISOUR LEGACY!
Paul Patz, the founder of Patz Corporation, saw the need for a machine to automate the barn cleaning process. He designed and installed his first gutter cleaner in 1946. Patz Corporation was started in 1948, and has been selling gutter cleaners ever since.
The original factory was nearly burned down in 1971, when a fire destroyed most of the manufacturing facility. Paul Patz had faith in his product, and rebuilt an even bigger factory in its place. The fire turned into a blessing since production and efficiency were able to increase in the larger facility. Throughout the years, Patz has grown and expanded, and our team continues to create and implement new products regularly.
Today, Patz Corporation remains family-owned with second, third, and fourth generations actively working in the business. The company has grown into a worldwide distribution network for Agricultural, Environmental, and Industrial products.
