    Yes, that has been confirmed already.

    Also public roads will be widened where necessary, corners will be straightened and signs will be erected to warn cyclists and pedestrians of the hazards of wide dribble bars.

    every local county council will have a special crew called the dribble bar gang making sure the coast is clear for the huge amount of these new machines on the road, michael noonan is as we speak setting up a buget for the widening of gaps i think you need to have a look at the cow and gate add on tv it will explain the whole situation

    If it becomes law, widening a few gateways will be small change to the cost of the machine in the first place

    If fertiliser price keeps going up the cost of a dribble bar/injector won't look so bad either, you could buy a new fertiliser spreader for the price of a few tons of fertiliser.
