SLURRY OVER HEDGE

jjjjjjjk

Is there any fitting to fit on the back that will not just throw the slurry in one line. Is there any kind of a sprinkler or something that would spread it more even hope someone can help.

The right angle 90 degree bends are openly sold

With a spread your going to loose power so it mightn't go over the hedge. Only way I can think is to go with a hydraulic rain gun on top and move it around.

You'll need a garda pump on the tank for it to work properly aswell, won't have enough flow or pressure from a normal vacuum pump.

cute geoge

Years ago i came across something like a small fan welded on the spout of a 90 degree bend .It spined when the water slurry hit it and it spread out some bit anyway might work over a wire rather then hedge

My understanding is that slurry over tue hedge was banned.

I also couldn’t see how it would work with anything but the proper rain gun on top of a tank.

seen a right angle on back of a tanker (it had replaced splash plate) on Westmeath/Longford border back 18 months ago. he was firing it over the hedge and under the wire. almost sure it was phone line.

In fairness you have to weigh up your options, if you have to get a few loads out it has to go somewhere. and its better than going 50 yards out into a field, getting buried and having to dump 2000G in the one spot

That would be my understanding as well. You would be subject to a penalty if caught doing it.

However, while I don't condone it, as Iakill says, each farmer has to weight up which is the lesser of two evils. I expect an extension of the deadline but by the time the authorities make up their mind, it may have to be done in certain situations on animal welfare grounds.

Screwed if you do and screwed if you don't:(

Looks like there's not going to be any blanket extension. Extension on individual cases only. from the 10th you can notify the Nitrates section in the Dept that you need an extension. But they've said there is a high chance of getting inspected if you apply for the extension.

As far as I'm aware it specifically mentions spreading slurry off a roadway so it doesn't matter if there is a hedge a wire or nothing once you're on a roadway

Sound. Never seen the legislation

Limited extension on a case by case basis if you need it but with a catch :eek:

Closing date for dung....1st November....


That activity in the photo is exactly what brings such grief on the rest of us.....does that joker not understand that spreading by rain gun at any time is BANNED....

Working under the guise of dirty water or slurry extension is one thing, but blatantly using a system that most of his neighbours will know is outlawed must get the prize for genius of the year, and a guaranteed phone call to the County Council...

Not really, the rain gun can't be used regardless. Better option prob only option for that fella would be umbilical system assuming he has permission

There'd be some smell for those right up wind from that yoke.:D

Funny how the Dept trots out the line "EU rules forbid us from extending deadlines bla bla bla..." while 10 miles away from me in N. Ireland the same EU seem to apply totally different rules?.

Yeah so he got a derogation which means that theirs going to be a department man at his gate fairly shortly. What non compliance do you think the inspector is gonna bring up first considering the man is in the paper pumping slurry to the clouds?

Sure he might not have bothered with the derogation. If he's not complying with some of the regulations he might not be c omplying with any part.

The worrying part is that the picture was published in the farming indo. It'd make you wonder if they know anything about what they're writing about.The caption under the picture would have you believe that everything was fine because the farmer got a derogation.

True, you do have to wonder at the journalist and I assume an editor signed off on that without it dawning on them that something odd about the rainbow of shoite expelled from the tank!

DM a Journalist, I think not. A year on the farm last year (2016) went to the biggest farms about. No mention of the hefty payments, in one case e250k.
