I just built a homemade dribble bar for my tanker, applying pig slurry. Had to get local machine shop to make my manure distributor with no chopper needed. I noticed a big reduction in odors on wheat stubble. I appreciate your video and agree it was a big learner curve, but also fun. Thanks for the ideas and info. I am farming in Ontario, Canada!

Thanks Adrian for that great insight into the use of a dribble bar. We are still using the splash plate here up in Antrim but It’s only a matter of time until dribble bars will be compulsory. Like you we have some steep and awkward places and with the additional weight of the dribble bar it will make this job a bit more difficult in places for sure. Thanks for sharing.👍

Hi Adrian, great genuine video. Two comments, at 1.50 i hope you closed your back window. I've seen nasty things happen! Second point, i run a belmac 2350 with 8metre trailing shoe bought in 2019, run on a 120hp massey 5712S, and never once had i to lock the spool valve lever in position to run the macerator. I believe there's a restriction in your unit and its this thats soaking your power. On the belmac you'd never notice the hydraulics taking power, but if caught on a hill, knocking the pto off briefly gives you extra horses. Macerator should be easily run as its just a spinning motor really

Have the same bar on a Major 2670gal Alpine tank with the stepped axle. The Mastexk bar is mounted on the big rear door opening part. It wasn't mounted square on the opening so the bar is not perpendicular, the thing kept catching pipes during g the closing process, but by adjusting the stops on the break back you can get it aligned. It is not totally straight however. I made up a bracket to prevent the cunting pipes fouling on the transport bracket so hopefully it's less of a pain to use now. Pipes coming off is a regular occurance, makes me think do they shrink over time because there's hardly any pipe to spare

Excuse my ignorance but can you not add some water during the mixing process.

We got one this summer, a Slurryquip, does a great job and very happy overall. I run an MF 7716 with a 2250 Redrock on hilly ground and the pump would take more power than the macerator, its not bad at all that way. I got onto it very quickly and had no real bother, watching other folk use them on youtube before hand helped as it didnt actually come with a manual. Will put any thick stuff through it, very impressed, though the only thing I dont like is emptying stone traps or a rare macerator blockage from a stray bolt a crow has dropped or whatever be it, but nothing you can do about that.
