Hi Guys,
I'm debating the idea of retrofititng a dribble bar on my slurry vaccum tank. The main reason is that I am in our agri-environmental scheme (GLAS) and one of the requirements that I picked to ensure eligibility was low emission slurry spreading. I like the idea of the dribble bar anyway as it should mean better utilisation of the slurry and the ability to spread more often on grazing ground with a shorter interval to either regraze or cut without staining all of the grass.
I have come across 2 manufactures offering a retrofit solution so far, they being:
1. Mastek http://mastek.ie/products/slurrymate/6-57-5-mtr-universal-tanker-mounted-dribble/
2. Slurry Kat http://www.slurrykat.com/tanker-compax-7-5-12mtr.html
Id love to get feedback from guys that have these systems or similar on their tanks and how they find them. And are there any other manufactures offering this solution for a standard splash plate tank? I'm not interested in the trailing shoe solution as dont handle the volume of slurry to justify its cost over the dribble bar.
The one sore point is the cost. The Mastek costs 11k euro including VAT. Seems very expensive. I am toying with the idea of fabricating my own, but time is my problem. What would the macerator cost on its own? On the plus side a 40% grant is available. But most likely this is what is causing the inflated price in the first place!
All feedback appreciated, or or any other solutions either home made or bought that guys have added to their tanks to satisfy the low emission criteria.
Thanks in advance.
