Voglesang were advertising some ex demo ones recently. Seem to be all around £3k.

Complete Voglesang 12m dribble is over £30k plus you have to have a tanker sufficient to take it plus with enough hydraulic outlets on your tractor OR an electronic control box at another £8k or so

Retro fitting can be a nightmare

My figures was for the basic 7.5 meter retro fit style dribble bar as spoken about in the OP. In June I got prices from stroth, cross, abbey and slurryquip. They all fell within the figures I quoted. The 3k figure was for just a macerator alone.

Do you really need a maserator on a dribble bar? My 1st tanker was a Joskin with a 6m dribble bar. It was just 6"pipe folding booms, with a load of smaller pipes coming out the bottom. Worked well.

We moved on to Moscha nozzles. The only advantage I can see to a dribble bar is the Moscha doesn't go well in wind. I think they will be banned fairly soon thou.

I'd be scared of them getting banned as it is basically a spreadplate. Didn't really get a proper answer when I asked him, something about the department not knowing their ar5e from their elbow ?.
Does the slurry need to be thin?
No , can handle thicker slurry and foreign objects better than a splash plate. The thicker the slurry the bigger the droplets and thus lower emissions
