STORTH MACHINERY FILLS GAP IN MARKET
Good choice of in-field applicators for new umbilical spreading equipment range
»»Among the machinery
on display at the busy Rickerby
Show was Storth Machinery’s
impressive, new umbilical
range of slurry-spreading
equipment.
The range includes a choice
of options for in-field applicators
– splash-plates, trailing shoe
injectors and dribble bars.
Storth’s Gary Morland told
The Farmers’ Mart: “We had
recognised that there was a
gap in the market for a robust
but simple-to-operate dribble
bar system. So utilising our
experience in this specialised
field, we developed one that
will suit both farmers and
contractors.
“It includes a hydraulic
macerator which ensures
that slurry can flow evenly
through the 40mm diameter
hoses, resulting in a uniform
application of slurry to the
ground.”
The dribble bar system
can be combined with one of
Storth’s new mounted reelers,
together with a front linkage
bobbin reeler and in this way,
2000m of umbilical hose can
be carried.
Alternatively, the dribble bar
can be mounted behind slurry
tankers. Working widths range
from 6m with 24 outlets to 12m
with 48 outlets.
Storth’s 7m dribble bar system includes a hydraulic
macerator to ensure even application of slurry.
Similarly, the trailing shoe
injector systems include Storth’s
own-design macerator. The
distribution hose is 50mm in
diameter and the cast iron selfsharpening shoes are spaced
225mm apart.
Models range in size from
5.6m wide with 24 outlets to
8.2m with 36 outlets.
Flow meters can be fitted
to all the slurry applicators to
record the amount of slurry
spread.

system, interested farmers
