NEW TANKER dribble bars have been launched by Northern Ireland specialist, SlurryKat.

Already well-known for its slurry handling equipment and pioneers of the dribble bar system, its newcomers are 'an affordable range designed specifically for farmers'.

This new range further adds to the company’s existing ‘two-line’ market approach, consisting of premium ‘pro-line’ products, designed for contractors and larger intensive farmers, as well as a more basic ‘farm line’ budget range of equipment.

SlurryKat's CEO, Garth Cairns, said: “We now have a product for everyone with premium and basic spec' products from a shear grab to a slurry tanker.”

There are two models available in the popular 7.5m and 9m working widths. Innovative features include spring loaded booms with auto-reset and a Vogelsang macerator/distributor, the same as used in its premium line, should ensure perfect spreading distribution across the entire width.

The units are also 50% lighter to eliminate any balance issues when fitted to existing tankers. “The new dribble bars can be fitted to any tanker without the need for a rear hydraulic linkage, which saves costs and unwanted weight,” said Mr Cairns.

Prices start at £6750 for the 7.5m model.
