Saw that on one of the Facebook slurry pages, Looks like a spreadwise with a paint job. £1200/£1500 would genuinely be plenty for it,it’s not the sort of reeler you want to use every day if your a contractor,more of a farmers machine or just hold spare pipe off the floor. Not being rude or clever,just my opinion after owning two of them 👍

I was thinking spreadwise aswell, it's a very spreadwisey green 🤔😂 well I'm open to offers, the price was set to weed out the time wasting low ballers that Facebook seems to attract, I'm open to sensible offers on it 🤷‍♂️ trying to get into abit of machinery dealing to go along side my contracting buisness, thanks for your reply though 👍👍

Was just a genuine comment,not a keyboard warrior moment 👍
Good luck with selling kit,we started selling used umbilical kit and Facebook is the biggest ball ache ever with the stupid comments 😂

No doubt about it, seems to attract the type, gives a whole new meaning to the saying "flys round sh$t!" 😂

Am eventually thinking of making my own umbilical set up, reelers, stationary pump, dribble bar and what have you, and yes the inspiration did come from @davedb , the bloke seems to be a master with an electric glue stick!

I wish I had @davedb talents in the workshop 😂
Slurry is going to be a big thing the next few years with fert prices!
“Give you £200 for the reeler and you drop it on my yard “ Gotta love Facebook 🙄🤦‍♂️😂😉

I shall be putting some of my workshop projects on if anyone would like to see them 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I've been offered £1750 twice which is be happy with, but then there always the bitter after taste of "Yeah I'm keen for it... just need to get some pipe first then I'll come get it"... that was 3 weeks ago 🤦‍♂️😂

I’d say that reeler is a Spreadwise with a homemade frame the bearing even has blue paint on but I’ve never seen a frame like that and them sections are newer Spreadwise ones the old ones were smaller box section and had two sections together at either end (I had one to get me started was ok but glad to see it sold I got 2k for that)
Appreciate the comments the dribble bar is probably the most challenging thing to make from scratch if you could copy one ect it would be easy, if I made another I’d go twin macerator with a place to pick bobbins up

I'd have said spreadwise yes

I had a thought the other day, I've already got a dribble bar on my tanker, all be it a retro fit one, on the back door, I'm sure I could do a reverse of what you've done with yours 🤷‍♂️ how hard can it be!

That was the last 1200m spreadwise we had with the larger bobbins 👍

If yours clamps on back door I suppose you could make a dummy back door with A frame on to go on tractor some slide down legs and a swing arm for slurry to feed up

My thought pretty much, it's a masteck dribble bar, there's a top feed for the mascorator, pretty much do as you say by blocking off the dome end with a linkage on, and some how fit a swing arm, not sure how I would because it's a very light design, ideal for the back of a tanker but would need some strengthening to pull pipes full of slurry!

I’d feed your slurry underneath and in though the dummy back door have a Frame sticking backwards so the dribble tubes miss it and pivot the swing arm off that leave the dribble bar un touched then

Good point not to mess with the dribble bar, so then if I need to go tanking with it it will only be 4 foot eyes to undo instead of faffing with loads of other stuff 💪💪
