Slurry tanker dribble bar

[fiat 9090]

Do you add it in when the tanks are low or what gets best results ?

Need to be in a month AFAIK

At least.

I have had a Storth dribble bar 12 months now. And masserator has been Bob on. Not had to replace wearing parts yet. Maybe blocked it four times in that time on round bale silage. We pump sandy slurry at one big farm and it never causes any problems for masserator.

Hi there just wondered how you were getting on with the Storth after all this time? I’m strongly considering going down this route but never hear them mentioned really compared to other brands.

Wouldn't it be easier and more cost effective to macerate everything before it got into the tanker?
Have maybe a separate pit to transfer "treated" slurry into?

Overhere every contractor has a precutter on the tank so they are anle to handle all kinds of slurry. They are fitted to the intake so everything is cut before it enters the tank. They are not really cheap though and yet another thing to make life more expensive.

But cheaper than a macerator on every tanker?

One of the biggest costs of running bar and shoe

No you still need a macerator. No way around it if you wan't proper distribution.

With sand and macerators being a bad combination I have just changed to not having one. Have a 12m Fliegle it has an auger for the distribution which so far is working very well. Also very few of the pipes bend so hopefully they will last a lot longer before they start splitting.

Will have to see how it’s going in a few years

Mastek is just copy of a Samson one

The Mastek SuperCut has serrated knives and individual air intakes on every outlet.

Yes it is similar in style to the Samson but the two differences make it much better at dealing with UK and Irish slurry.

If anyone wants a reference from someone running a Mastek macerator I am happy to point them in the right direction.

UK and Irish Slurry?

UK and Irish Slurry?

Sometimes thick because of excess straw, baled silage or lack of water in slatted buildings. Obviously slurry varies from farm to farm and depends on the rainfall we have had. Our macerator is also proving to give good life of wearing parts on sandy slurry.

I was trying to think what the difference was. Bale wrap, string, net and broken lick buckets is a popular Irish trait.

Also fairly standard in wales

And dosing bottles. Well the piggery was anyway.

Fun fact, spray marker cans will wedge in with mechanical precision in a rubber cone.

I used to work on a farm where after a foot trimming session it was boasted they put 20 wooden clogs on in a day. Spent the next week or two with the slurry pump blocking every morning as they must not have glued the fricken things on properly and they were just right to block the slurry jetter on the end of the pump. So it was a case of climbing up the slurry tower ladder, usually in the rain, day after day to pee about with the shitty mess wedged in the end... Formed a strong opinion about cow clogs from that.

Found these once.
