Splash it

[killie_cowboy]

These seem to be the next big thing just now, a lot of dealers beginning to stock them. Wouldn't be for me though, you won't have lines, but you'll be contaminating all your grass as you would with a splashplate and you'll be losing more ammonia. Could possibly see a use for dairy farmers doing regular cuts though.

What on earth is the point?

Be to try and spread it out so it washes in easier and doesn't come back in when they take their next cut in 15 minutes time.

Well yes, probs still have a saving though as its not actually flying through the air as much.

I think it's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Pointless. Defeats purpose of a dribble bar.

£10 each

What a load of sh!t !


Well someone had to say it ......

 

[jondear]

Unbelievable Geoff!

 

[daveydiesel1]

So if they enforce the need to use a dribble bar over a splash plate how could they prove what way it was applied unless they seen u in the field spreadin

In the recent dry weather some farmers found that there was a thick line of slurry which didn't disappear before next cut. Others disagreed.
Ammonia losses will still be lower as not getting thrown in the air as much.

Doubt if we’ll be allowed it in Scotland

If your spreading actual slurry, i.e not separated slurry / brown water, I really don’t think dribble bars are ideal. I like the concept but in reality when you can see the lines, mowing several months afterwards it’s a backwards step.

Good for grazing but not for silage ground.

Why does everyone panic about the lines? Its not affecting the silage if its still there sat on the ground. If it was splash plated the fibre is still there just spread evenly. All the nutrients is washed in in and fibre remains. If your picking it up in the silage perhaps mowers cutting too tight? I wonder if some farmers just use way more straw during winter than others. Theres lines and theres LINES kinda thing.

Its a problem when the lines you see are from the slurry killing the grass underneath. You can see it all season.
