dribble bar

Inspired in some way by the gatecrash of the Fendt gearbox thread, just thought I'd see what folks did. 20 years ago we managed with two 6290's and a 3075, and up to three hire tractors at peak times and contractor help for beet drilling and harvesting, hedge cutting, square baling, destoning...

Hi lads, first of all il say I have a 6 bay slatted tank, 110ft long 15ft wide & 8ft deep. Have about 45 acres of silage ground. Tank gets emptied twice a year. I have my own silage outfit so have no problem in pulling power. I'm a young farmer so I'm hearing I get 60% tams for a tanker. It...

I'm thinking of buying a 6m sward slitter. I like the idea of the Aerworx roller style but don't think it will be wide enough to cover the ground. Any comments or recommendations?

Was on a Superg farm walk this week talking about over seeding grass and clover https://www.super-g.eu/ It was interesting to see very little difference between the 3 plots on both farms. Control v slotseeding v rotor seeding. In terms of yields, protein or energy. There was a rise in the...

How does chopped oat straw affect wheat establishment in your experience? Not a great market for oat straw, plus I’d rather keep the OM

These seem to be the next big thing just now, a lot of dealers beginning to stock them. Wouldn't be for me though, you won't have lines, but you'll be contaminating all your grass as you would with a splashplate and you'll be losing more ammonia. Could possibly see a use for dairy farmers doing...

Earlier in the week the lightboard fell off the new dribble bar due to being poorly welded on and chowed the wires shorting them out. Never realised was anything off until last night when I realised the front left sidelight, rear right sidelight and trailer sidelights don't work. Checked the...

Written by Justin Roberts from Agriland At a recent demonstration of its XSplit slurry separator, Vogelsang had arranged for one of its spreading systems to be on show to complement the separation installation. The company, normally just known in the agricultural world for its macerators /...

I’ve had a stab at drilling grass into old burnt off pasture with an aitchison grasssfarmer, went half rate two ways on most of it, but would maybe have been better going full rate one way as the old turf fairly ripped up on the second pass and has made a bit of a mess. A roll would tidy it up...

Have an opportunity of getting some digestate on some of our ground - as it happens it'll likely osr. The cost to supply and spread is rather marginal to myself applying urea. P and K on our ground is good, so won't be saving on applications of bagged p and k. Is this an opportunity that...

Hi lads & ladies . I am thinking of availing of the TAMS young farmer grant for a 2000g tanker & dribblebar. I have a 120hp massey 6cylinder. Is this enough power to operate a tanker that size ? Land is flat & not soft Thanks

I didn’t want this lost in the arla thread. Part of the sustainability box ticking is the animal robustness points. You basically loose points if too many cows die or get put down on farm. I lost 10 out of 325 on farm last year and am loosing half my points! There is no direct penalty for...

Written by Agriland Team from Agriland The use of Low Emission Slurry Spreading (LESS) equipment is increasing on an annual basis with the dribble bar being one of the more common LESS methods. One common complaint many farmers have with spreading their slurry with a dribble bar is that the...

hi Running a 3000 topcon screen on a Massey 8732 . I have a issue when using the drawbar option on slurry using a tanker and dribble bar the A B lines start of straight but as it goes along the lines change direction almost going across the original A B line . But when its on fixed attachment...

I feel trailing shoe is better but will customers pay extra to cover the higher running cost

As above really, I wanna get me grazing ground going and get some on for 2nd cut. I have some AN with I feel happy to spread, but not enough, and I have some protected urea, should I spread this with this current forecast that seems like we may or may not get some rain?

How many of you guys stick to the legal weight limits at harvest time 😂 The law is Max Total gross weight 31 ton Max Trailer and load weight 18.29 ton I only ask as there are so many 16, 18, ton trailers on the market which when loaded must be over the 18.29 ton limit Thought would be appreciated

I have a case puma 160 thats autosteer ready, has the wires on the roof, steering solenoids and sceen in cab. I am wondering is there any cheap ways to make it actually work? My understanding is i need the dome on the roof and control box that goes in behind my passenger seat? It doesnt need to...

Hi, we have a storth dribble bar and having lots of problems with silage smearing under the mascerator and blocking up the top of the pipes. Anyone have any experience with them or had this problem? I like the dribble bar when it's going it's a great machine but this choking is very annoying!
