Slurry pumping systems in Europe

[davedb]

Been watching loads of videos of slurry pumping in Europe I’ve been thinking for a while I’d like a arm to extend on my dribble bar to let you turn easier and make tidier headlands I seen the Schouten injectors have this

Does anyone on here run one how is the slide sealed so slurry doesn’t leak?
I keep thinking something like this and a rotary coupling on the back would let you fill corners in better on headlands and even do fields as you’d mow them ect without the pipe twisting you could spread to suit the field instead of spreading to suit the pipe

We have looked at them as well ,they leak a lot with Slurry that has been separated, but the application machine need s to be on a forklift type mast so it can let the hose go under the out Lets in you are a trailing shoe or injector, that is why we went the the one we have as the arm is over the top and keeps it all Lower for stepper ground

I’d stick with the dribble bar I think for now so that wouldn’t be a issue, does yours reach out to give you some slack?

Yes how we do it we can turn right round and with section control it works well , but we still do it corner to corner if we have not got a lad on the hose humper as it big fields you start to pull the hose the wrong way and it wants to go in to a knot

Yea I’d probably stick doing it that way really just loop round on headlands quicker I’m finding more people only want 2000gal to the acre on with fert prices ect and I do a organic farm aswell so them little triangles you don’t spread can really show up What sort of swivel have you got on your spreader?
