    You could be right...I suppose it's unlikely that Holland, or any other country would impose stricter rules than the rest of the E.U. upon themselves

    They would....and so would Denmark and France and Belgium and Germany...

    We have it soft...


    Every load spread in Belgium must have a gps printout of where it was spread and thats after the batch had been sampled to guage spreading rates..

    Ah find it hard to believe. I see very little between trailing shoe and dribble bar even tho the experts will tell ya the shoe is miles ahead. I just dont see it

    I used both and think t shoe is way better

    Shoe is way better, on any height of grass.
    If slurry gets onto leaves of growing grass and dries quickly, a power washer wouldn’t get it off.

    Just looking at tankprices
    Ordinary tank is 18k
    Same make with trailing shoe 36k
    I know the tyres can be speced different but it still feels like they are profiting on the grant.interesting to see the price when the grant goes

    Bought a ex-demo galavinsied 2600 hi-spec, trailing shoe/injector ready for 19000 back in 18 that was 4 year old but had no work done only drawing water for a sprayer 10 times a year, list price of tank new was 26,000, a 2300 gallon hi-spec new painted at the time on 28.1 tyres instead of 30.5's and the smaller pump was 18,500....
    Once you start adding extras onto a tank the price lifts alot, lads buying tams tanks with the dribble bars on the hatch are been sold a pup though, as I'd say in 5 years time anything other then trailing shoe at a minimum will only be permitted

    Don't see there could be much difference between them in regard to what is released into the atmosphere, and if you're spreading on silage stubble there's none , or is there ?
    You need another 20 horsepower to drag a trailing shoe through grass, especially on hilly ground , or so i'm told .

    The greens will bring a bit of a change like that here when they get settled into power ,given time

    Was told by a machinery salesman that all slurry is injected in Holland and it will be the same here in years to come.

    Would the majority of that being injected be into tilled ground. Big difference to do it into permant grassland

    Inspectors would want a much more astute eye to notice injection v dribble than dribble v splash plate...

    Resurrecting an old thread here, I know Mastek are probably the predominant brand macerator in Ireland, but anybody any experience with Vogelsang macerator? Apparently thats whats on Major tanks.

    if you're buying a new tank you can spec it with a mastek

    or at least you could in 2019

    Mastek is meant to be a better macerator for Irish conditions, neighbour has a vogelsgang on a major and isn't happy with it.

    bought mine off a major agent on condition a mastek was fitted , he made a phone call to the factory, no problem fitting a mastek.

    if you're retro fitting you can choose any make you like , i went for mastek on the advice of a contractor that was familiar with macerators. its a good unit but the stone trap isnt great, doesn't catch even half the stones but i'm not contracting so its up to me to keep trash out of the tanks

    Ya, spoke to another dealer who confirmed I'm not tied to the Major one. Anybody any experience with the Grass Tech one with Alrena macerator? It's hung off the chassis of the tank rather than the inspection door.

    Decent enough one. Anti block if the pressure builds on the hydraulics the macerator goes into reverse for 10 seconds to free itself.

    yep it’s a nice setup but I’d like 50 mill pipes if at all possible
