This topic has probably been done to death, but.......
Looking at retro-fitting either a trailing shoe or dribble bar to my Conor tanker as part of a LEADER grant.
I run a straw yard system, and also feed big bale silage at times, so my main concern is how will this kit cope with slurry that potentially contains a fair amount of fibrous material.
Will the macerator be man enough for it or is it a recipe for disaster trying to force this stuff through a network of narrow pipes?
Slurry from feeding yard and dirty water scraped into open lagoon, which is stirred prior to spreading. The slurry usually analyses about 6% DM and spreads fine via splash plate with only the occasional blockage say every 40load.
@Cows 'n grass i believe you run a trailing shoe and also feed Big bale silage. Any issues?
Thanks
