Looking at trialing shoes and dribble bars, but liking the look of trailing shoe. Ideally need something that can be mounted to tanker, or used on tractor as umbilical system. Used on grass land only. What would be the best brand to go for? Anybody have experiences with different brands?

We’ve narrowed it down to a choice of two,
Major and Greencrop both look well made, major one has all outlets on the back ready for fill points the greencrop it’s an optional extra, major use vogelsang macerater and greencrop use alrena.
Out of the two which would be the better buy, not a real...
I have just been accepted for the grant on a trailing shoe, however since putting in for it I have learnt that it would be too heavy for my current tanker and so am looking at either a Joskin, Hi spec or Major 2000g with a trailing shoe depending on what's in stock in time for the grant .

Currently looking at Storth, major and Slurrykat bars. Was wanting 9m but there’s a big price jump to the 9m slurrykat and major only do a 7.5 anyways.
All salesman have said 7.5m is popular. However I can’t help but think I’m going to be narrower than splash plate. Unless it’s the wrong way to...
Are there any users of the mastek eco trailing shoe? What's the general opinion? Looking at a 9m unit for a tanker. Not a huge fan of dribble bars but they are a lot simpler and cheaper cheers

Slurry application has moved forward tremendously over the past few years with the emphasis very much switching to using it as a resource rather than disposing of it as a waste product.
Even dyed in wool, tillage specialists such as Lemken are joining...

Vogelsang have long recognised the importance of retaining and evenly reapplying nutrients that have passed through livestock during feeding. This focus is especially welcome during a period of inflated fertiliser prices.
To this end, the company has...

As above really. Is there any difference between dribble bar and trailing shoe, ie can I graze it any quicker after trailing shoe than dribble? How soon could I graze after dribble bar/trailing shoe application. Can I cut out artificial nitrogen altogether on my grazing ground or silage ground...
We have been doing our own umbilical pumping for a few years with a twin nozzle splash plate type spreader and are looking to buy a 7.5 or 9 metre dribble bar.
I've priced up one or 2 so far and waiting on a few more prices. They all seem about the same money so was wondering if anyone could...
Right , I know this has been covered before partly by other threads. But here in NI we are in the process of having spreadplate banned in stages over the next couple of years so it's time to change systems. So on the back of a 2500gal tanker, all grassland farm, no dairy (so slurry not water)...
So we’re getting a 7.5m dribble bar for our tanker currently stuck between a mastek or a storth, I like the masteks macerator but not seen the guts of the storth to compare anybody running either? Replacement metal for the mastek is £1k and the storth is £140 apparently. Looked at the both today...
Been looking at my discharge pipes for umbilical pump. I see some and was always told slow sweeping elbows to keep flow smooth. But looking around on line and I see some with 90s. My question is. Is anyone using a pump with 90 on ? Does this effect output or hp consumption on the pump.
Thanks
