Excellent question!
Some are fitted by tanker manufacturer's
S&M tanks in co Tipperary.
Although it’s Mastek dbs they are fitting not their own make. But they are fitted at their workshop where they build the tanks.

Belmac also fit their own db and it’s back door mounted. However don’t know if they make the dbs there at the factory or buy them off a third party.

major do a back door setup as well but again don’t know if they make the dbs themselves but I did notice as well as the back door they have 2 supports that look like short top links going from the db to the tanker dish as well as the rear door mount when I was looking earlier this year
Belmac make them themselves,but most of the tankers go out with trailing shoes,dribble bars are mostly sold as an add on to an existing tank because of grant requirements

You are a SlurryQuip dealer. No secrets. Cost of parts and annual running costs are two different things. As I said customers are always welcome to ring or email anyone at Mastek for a chat.
Do not think his sales will be so good if he can not answer emails about his knife thing , reading all this thread I think a lot need to learn how to mix and put water in there Slurry to get the most from it

Confused, surely adding extra water dilutes slurry? Once slurry is to a thickness that it is easy worked with machinery, how would water benefit? Living in an area with around 1000mm of rainfall per year I have never seen the need to irrigate.

This is where dribble bars are going to have issues in the future with the covering in slurry stores from 2022 in England.
