Mastek Ltd launch 24m Dribble Bar
2015 sees Mastek Ltd launch their 24m Dribble Bar which they have designed
to seamlessly integrate with an umbilical system to provide a fast, safe and
cost effective way of distributing large amounts of slurry. This highly efficient
equipment has been designed to minimise field compaction and keep
transport costs to a minimum by eliminating the need for additional vehicles
usually associated with spreading.
ecent years have seen many farmers
moving more to using slurry instead of
expensive artificial fertiliser to grow
crops. In fact, some farmers apply slurry
3 to 4 times per season. However, much
of this has been done using Dribble
Bars up to 12m when spreading on 24m
tramlines which results in crop damage. Now
with Mastek’s 24m Dribble Bar they can travel
on the tramlines while spreading the slurry.
The 24m dribble bar is supplied with two 48
outlet macerators, which ensure an even
distribution of slurry with the operation of each
macerator being managed independently
through the lever bank in the tractor. The
dribble bar also features a pivot mechanism
which allows the operator to tilt the system to
ensure that the dribble bar remains parallel to

the ground at all times.
A fully hydraulic closing mechanism allows
both arms to be folded simultaneously behind
the tractor. This ensures that the dribble bar
does not extend beyond the overall width of the
tractor during transportation. Mastek also offer
a complete “power on demand hydraulic

system” as an optional extra.
The Mastek spreading technology optimises
working widths and maintains uniform
fertilisation thereby giving a even distribution
throughout the crop resulting in higher yield per
hectare regardless of weather conditions at
point of spreading.
