Dribble bar vs trailing shoe

Location

how much power should the macerator take to use? just had a mastek dribble bar fitted to my original tanker (2250gal) and its bringing my puma 160 to its knees when you hit a slight slope now, not helped by the fact it empty's quicker so have to travel quicker. not ideal when we I don't know what a flat field looks like!
They don't tell you, you have to go faster.:)

Turn down oil flow or fit free flow return or spread in 540 shaft with more revs. It shouldn't be hard to drive really.

What size diameter pipe?
Talking to 2 dribble bar manufacturers the one using 50mm pipe said you'll never block it and the other using 40mm said that the pipe is never actually full anyway :rolleyes::rolleyes::scratchhead:
Don't go with 40mm, you'll regret it. 50mm has 50% more section surface.

manufacturers will tell you anything for a sale,I used biggest sized holes I could find in my wearplate and also have 50mm id hose,the hose still occasionally blocks.

Trouble is with ours the pipes are pinched off when you lift it up, this is where it blocks. Would probably disable this next time we use it. Been on splash plate for a while and it's soo easy!

I have the slurryquip 7.8 mt wide , on a major 2400. It empties 30 seconds quicker than the splash plate. Never gets blocked as it has 50 mm pipes. It is so tight in behind the tanker that it never gets near the ground , I know of a mastek that got pulled off the tanker going out through a gap into a field with a hollow in it.
