Help - slurry tanker dribble bar without macerator??

[newholland]

Does anybody know if you can get a slurry tanker "economy style " dribble bar without a macerator which can still reach 8m in spread width??.
I have seen 5m ones.....but would this simple version reach 8m? - or do they run out of pressure / not enough flow to keep free from blockages and are therefore limited in width with out a macerator?

There was a thread on here recently, but cant find it.

Many thanks.

Fabricate your own? there was a video of a company selling one before that looked like a home made job but seemed to work.

Failing that @mtx.jag commented on the other thread so may know it's location.

cheers @Headless chicken .....I found the other thread.

Unless your spreading dirty water, or separated slurry, you will struggle with blockages im affraid.

we are on sandy slurry with very little fibre and no crust....we tried a tanker with the basic system and it seemed to work here.....but want to get to about 8m width and just wondering if an extension welded on each side with an extra pipe would work or if the limit is in reality about 5m or so.

What are these cheap ones ? I enquired to major about a dribble bar for my tanker and they wanted 50% more than I paid for the tanker with sprung draw bar, floatation's and self fill arm . Bonkers for what a dribble bar and macerator amount to .
I was perhaps going to look at putting one of those wagtail spreaders on instead as they apparently get very good results in reducing nitrogen loses which is what I am after

Tramspread did a 6m dribble bar with no macerator, basically a long tube with outlets, with pinch valves on the outlets to even out the pressure. But only good for dirty water and seperated slurry. Theres a thread on the other side back a few years on tanker mounted dribble bars.

Stamford agricultural services near beeston cattle market fabricate their own dribble/shoe attachments for tankers, might be worth a call

Having trouble with the masarator on a 12 meter Slurrykat bar today , it's straw muck but it only every blocks the one side , so am running on 6 meters affectively. Any ideas
Thanks

Is your inlet pipe coming in at an angle of straight in?

Only time I've had uneven spread was because I'd put the inlet pipe on at a tilt.

Had it in bits yesterday, retentioned the springs on the knife, put it back together and now it works perfectly . Weather something had gone through it and just knock the knife slightly out line one side, don't know

I work for Mastek Ltd
Take a look at our SuperCut macerator

Did you buy one in the end Chips ? We have the Moshca on our Hi Spec tanker ,and we seem to like it . Simple enough

Yes bought one , a brilliant bit of kit , would never go back to splash plate .Just worried they will get banned even though the EA accept there is merit in the principal it's just without very expensive trials they won't officially except them , money the small company does not have and big manufacturers make far more out of dribble bars etc to be interested especially as it would knock sales of the more expensive.
