Yes you can. Still a bit of work in it though to get access to the door

Did one ever fall off or break off the door?
Either through abuse or too much work?

Go look at the MBE dribble bar. It’s better then either. Stronger and better built and designed.
Available in 7.5m, 9m, 10.5m and 12m double macerator
Hydraulic folding
Hydraulic breakaway
Alrena precision macerator
Double stone trap
Rear Y fill point extension
LED Dynamic lights
Optional led worklights
Chassis mount rear plate with tie down points
Fully bushed and greased pivot points

Slurryquip seems to be the fashionable one to have at the moment but I don't know anyone with one. Main contractors around here are still waiting for something from Agquip.

40mm which is a straight through 40mm all the way to the ground . What good is a 50mm pipe when it gets to the boom and meets a narrower pipe to pushed inside it and jubilee clipped on to it.the narrower steel pipe inside must be 45mm or maybe less. its a blocking hazard for material to catch in as it’s not the one size right through.
Also something no one seems to mention.
Slurryquip 9.6M has 32 outlets
MBE 9m has 36 outlets.
Slurryquip leaves a slightly bigger tracks of slurry with wider spacing. Takes lot more rain to wash it in.
Mastek is same. Less outlets. Their 7.2m has same outlets as their 8m, just spaced out, which shouldn’t be the case.

I've had some pretty thick sht going thru my slurryquip, with steered up grass that was growing on the top of the tower and all and had no blocking trouble. A slight lip on a larger pipe is still better than a smaller one that keeps popping off because it's inside the metal bit which is what I've heard folk say about mastek. I'd rather wider spacing anyway if that's what my 7.8m is, if it's too close then you may as well be splashplating.

From my experience, the pipes never block, it blocks exiting the macerator as the holes are usually 20 mm . That's my my experience of joskin trailing shoe , it has 48 mm pipes though

The lip inside the pipe is the problem and leave it blockage prone no matter the pipe size. The beauty of the MBE is it got a clamp system that had no risk of blocking there like the others. Your talking about the wider spacing like it’s a good thing. The closer spacing means better coverage and less chance of dark green lines. Comparing them being closer togeather to splashplating is ridiculous. Your N is saved in the use of a LESS system, not driving down the field with wider spacing. If that was the case they’d all have 500mm spacing. Closer spacing will give you a faster take up of slurry no matter what way you look at it.

Its all very tribal this thread
currently speaking to you with 2 stripes of orange paint and slurryquip tatooed on my brow. But let's face it, if we wanted to be right and proper with top uptake we would have trailing shoes, injectors, etc, but DB is good enough and on new cut silage it's 6 and 2 3s with TS. The 30cm spacing on mine is barely a far cry from the 25cm on yours. Slurryquip macerator is class, what's on the MBE? On the SP point, you not only lose N from the spreading but also as it sits on the ground in a thin layer all round you will loose a bit more as it's easier dried and obviously has more surface area. Not to mention grass contamination and stunting growth slightly.

Wipe that paint off your face, your with the wrong tribe.Its all very tribal this thread
I’ve no intention of going trail and shoe, I know a lad with trail and show me and dribble bar and he can’t for life of him see the differance when he spreads side by side.
Wouldn’t be in any way worried about contaminated grass , after a season of spreading in, sometimes 6-8” and more of grass cover, slurry always made it to the ground. The dribble pipes get it down past the grass. Unless you cut the dribble pipes way too short you shouldn’t have that issue. I’ve left them long for this reason. Get the slurry to the ground. If you cut them short you’ll have contaminated grass no matter the spacing
Id be more worried about thick layer of slurry, if a dry spell comes after you spread, will dry out, lose your N and end up back in with the grass. You hear about it all the time.
MBE got an Alrena macerator which division of Bomech who have been making this stuff for 40 plus years. Macerator Not that dissimilar to slurryquip or masteck. If blockage occurs it auto reverses for 15 seconds then reverts to forward. Lot of LESS manufacturers are using Alrena. Give no bother.
Our European friends who have been spreading slurry this way a lot longer then us laugh at the lack of outlets on our machines I might add.

Then get a Vredo, they have 175 mm spacing.
Incidentally I have a 7 meter Slootsmid for sale with 18 cm spacing.

Well this is it, I've left them as long as possible but at the same time if they're too long and it catches the grass it can send it all roads and make as much of a mess. More when I say contamination I mean for quicker grazing like yow lambs with us onto foggage, wider gap has benefit of wider patches of grass being untouched by slurry, there's ofc a happy medium tho which I think this is. But aye, just very subtle differences in these machines, they all do a close enough job. As Gerbert says there tho with his machine with 17.5cm spacing, that sounds like the one you'd be after, wonder what size of pipes are on it, surely kick out some stuff, need to go up the field at 20k lolWipe that paint off your face, your with the wrong tribe.

Yea 50 outlets is what I need on 9m.I need that as much as you need one with 10. you’d be able to slurry with the sheep still on the field dribbling between them
it’s what ever works for you with any of them. But….having looked at them all. MBE is best dribble bar on the market.

How watery the slurry is is surely the key thing when using a dribble bar?
Is mbe not a friend of yours? Or did I get confused with a different youtube video?

DB is no good compared to a trailing shoe when spreading paddocks in a tight grazing rotation. Injection is leagues better for silage ground. All well proven. DB is the inferior productWipe that paint off your face, your with the wrong tribe.

Do you sell the DB you are on about or advertise it
