    Features and Benefits

    Applying effluent via a dribble bar ensures the nutrients go where you want them to go, reduces run off and material loss, while keeping the grass cleaner and reducing smell nusience. 

    FarmChief Contractor and ContractorPlus Dribble Bars have working widths up to 12m wide and are certainly the strongest dribble bars around. The robust central frame design achieves close coupling, a narrow transport width and great strength to support reeler piggy-backing.

    On the Contractor Dribble Bar, the specially designed NovaCut distributor guarantees consistent and accurate material distribution, with uniform application across all of the 40mm distributor outlets, even feeding fibrous slurry. Continuous expansion of the hose joints from distributor to delivery hose eliminates any blockage opportunity.

    If you’re looking for more control over the application, choose the top-of-the-range ContractorPlus Dribble Bar. Fitted with a horizontally mounted NovaCut Distributor on each wing of the bar, allowing for hillside feathering, ½ side shut off or complete shut-off. Careful consideration has been given to the build, with it featuring improved rear visibility and ground-level access to the distributors.

    Additionally, the extendable 180degree swim arm gives extra support to the incoming pipe, and an optional 4” flow meter can be installed with ease.

    • Robust build quality
    • Fully galvanised
    • Heavy Duty 3-point linkage
    • Vertical fold
    • Minimal working parts means low maintenance

    Testimonials

    Tony  backs umbilical slurry systems because of their efficiency and the fact that they’ll work at high volumes and in conditions where slurry tankers simply can’t.

    “There’s little or no compaction of laneways or paddocks and it’s a very effective way of moving large amounts of nutrient.” 

    Storth Umbilical System | Testimonial, Tony Fisken Contracting

    Although it was the advanced hydraulics that first drew Colin to his Veenhuis Profiline 16,600L Slurry Tanker, he is also acutely aware of the need to successfully manage environmental issues and soil fertility. The tanker enables him to recycle the nutrient-dense manure and reduce odour in one go.

    His tanker injects the effluent back into the soil providing a great start for barley, wheat, and pasture and removing the nuisance normally associated with conventional “broadcast” systems.
