Slurry tanker dribble bar

[Nenuphar]

It might be unpopular but I wouldn't let a dribble bar in the gate, trailing shoe or injector only. The difference in growth is stark

 

[daveydiesel1]

So dribble bar not a trailing shoe?

Oh sorry didnt realise it was trailing shoe you were talking about. The field was pretty bare when it was spread so would there be much difference in that and a shoe?

Yes. A shoe is placing the slurry directly to the surface,loss of N is significantly less than a dribble bar or splash plate

Genuinely??
What rate were you putting on and what size was it?

Left side was tanker and splash plate at 3000 gallon/ac,on the right was trailing shoe at the same rate.

3000 gal per acre. 6.5m I think can't mind. Not used it for years. Always from same tank. But tried different fields and different types cattle slurry. Never seen any difference.
Only advantage was on grazing fields cattle would graze trailing shoe bit better afterwards on first rotation.

Incredible. In 20 odd years of contract slurry spreading I don’t think I’ve ever seen that

Does your trailing shoe actually put slits in the ground? Our one only did in damp bits but the tractor/tanker had compaction then.

No it runs along the ground and places the slurry under the leaf. We use a shallow disc injector if they want slots in the ground.

The injector would be very popular then?

Well a slut in the ground sounds more appealing than just spraying slurry on the top

I just saw the typo

What's the best dribble bar now?
A couple of years since this thread started.

Im still really happy with our Mastek so far.. but it’s early days.

Very pleased with slurryquip, no bother at all.

Is it mounted on the door?

 

[ColinV6]

Is it mounted on the door?

Yes, 8 meter version door mounted

 

[Fragonard]

Is there bigger diameter pipes on the Slurryquip?

not sure but it’s 2” lay flat on this one. I think the spacing on the slurryquip posted above looks wider however? I could measure if you needed.

 

[Gerbert]

Yes, 8 meter version door mounted

Boy that is some spacing, 28 outlets on 8 meters, a touch under 29 centimeters.
My old Slootsmid is on 18 cm and Vredo is on 17.5 I think. Just bought a used 8 meter Roelama on 20 cm which is the norm overhere.

Can you take off the back door on the Slurry quip if you wanted to clean out stones and gravel , without having to take off the dribble bar frame?
