Jesus Adrian I know that pain. It’s never the big things we do, it’s always something simple, even just going down a small step can do it. I’ve had surgery 3 times over the years for “discs” and now I have a spinal implant, which is great. I hate hate not being able to do stuff, so I try to keep going as do as much as I can. I might have been told over the years that I have a. It of a stubborn streak in me.😂😂😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Great job. Takes a bit of getting use to using a dribble bar but it’s like everything. Just becomes the normal. Good stuff 👌

Goodman Adrian, another great video, nice to see the children helping out to. I was travelling through Cavan yesterday on my way to Crust and Crumb for a collection and the person that popped into my head was yourself...

You'll never make a council worker Adrian,too fast 🤣 You'll master that dribble bar, practise makes perfect. I hope your back improves, sent you a P.m 👍🏼

[@gerryryan2142]

Great video. When your not using the tank for a while, take off the cover on the macerator and spray in wd40. The macerator can seize when not in use. It's will save you a lot of hardship

Thanks for the tip Gerry 👍

Great video Adrian, great detail on dribble bar. When ur finished n parking up tanker, run tank of water through dribble bar to clean it.

[@cheekymonkey666]

with our asphalt drive pot holes i do the same but i use the garden blower to blow out dust, i then use a blow torch to heat up the bottom and sides, it helps adhere the new asphalt to the old... i also mix in old asphalt from the hole in the new tub of asphalt, works well and you might want to try it in the next pot hole...

Thanks for the honesty Adrian, I,m farming about 7 years, the first tractor I bought I didn't know how to get the lift arms up and down😀. I had a wee same silver 90 with an electric lift and it was all buttons, I eventually found a rocker switch instead of going through the lift settings. Still learning all the time. It's nice to see these kind of videos, we all make wee mistakes and our mistakes can help others.

funny how you're learning how a dribble bar work while here in the netherlands the tank that I drive the most has 3 hydraulic groups and a full controlbox with levers and all, way more complicated. it's a eye opener that there are people with way simpler setups. keep up the learning new things are always a struggle in the begining often the first load of slurry in a awile takes the longest time because you need to relearn abit.

Adrian thank for the low down on how the dribble bar works. I am glad Tom Pemberton suggested watching your channel, it is nice to see the difference in how farmin’ is done in Ireland, Scotland and my Uncles farm here across the pond..

[@lindateppler3058]

New equipment videos are the most amusing. I may have giggled. More than once. Having said that, I admit to never having used a dribble bar so you may feel free to assign me mucking duties for laughing. I can attest to seeing the vast improvement in fields using a dribble bar vs using a splash plate. I am looking forward to seeing your fields after they've grown a bit! :D

Just a little tip to remember Adrian, macerator should be the last thing on and the first thing off, in order to protect the seals in the pump

[@Eamo-21]

Great explanation on the dribble bar. Nice to see ya leave in the learning process too 👍

[@gavinroutledge5716]

Great video as usual. I've also seen Tom Pemberton using his dribble bar and I think the terrain of your land will make it harder to get used too especially travel speeds and length of the hoses.

[@kevinwc5439]

I've found that spreading at about 6.5 to 7 km will put out about 3000 gallons per acre. I have a 7.5 m Major dribble bar with a Vogelsang macerator so that's a bit different to yours, I chose it over the mastec because it's supposed to have a lower output which helps when dealing with hills. Fyi Tom Pemberton has a cone before the macerator to reduce the flow. Apparently they can be a bugger for blocking however. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Didn’t know that, that’s would slow it down for sure.

[@tangofoxtrot4603]

[@patrickjordan7670]

Hi Adrian I enjoy your videos just a suggestion try cutting the pipes with the tank full im sure it drops a bit with a full tank keep up the good work

[@holohanagrivideos]

We upgraded from a Ross moore 1800 to an s&m 2250 with a dribble bar and it will take a lot of getting used to the double entry valve and the dribble bar when before all we had was a lollipop and splash plate but this really helps a lot

[@bobokeeffe4036]

You should spread a tank of water on your last load esp if your not going to be spreading till after 1st cut because the slurry will harden in pipes and masserator with warmer weather also keep stone trap emptied it protects the masserator in the long run!

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes probably a good idea for sure Bob, it’s been used ever second day at the minute, slurrying right behind the cows as they graze.

[@bobokeeffe4036]

@@IFarmWeFarm be careful not to sour the grass by over following the cows or it will turn them off it, I find thinning down the slurry with dairy washings helps it get into the ground better from now on esp when we dont get as much rain, have my mastek dribble bar 9months now and very happy with it, need more power to maintain higher ground speed compared to splash plate!

You are a man of many talents. I was thinking a bit of old plywood or metal plate over the road repair may help while it settles in. I had no idea you can buy tarmac in a bucket.

[@georgemorrison6689]

Very enjoyable video as usual Adrian I did not realise you put it on so early mind you I only usual have time to watch it in the evening, great content as well, you should get a spray suppression bottle for your saw helps keep the dust down but lubs the blade and it cuts easier and lasts longer, cutting a straight edge is a must with tar and some bitumen for the edges to make it bond would help, Taring pot holes is a mind field but we have to try, the young lass looks like she is about ready to start putting out the slurry, its no going to be long before you will be able to sit back and rest that sort back, very enjoyable Adrian

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I never heard of a spray suppression bottle, sounds like a great thing. Hate the dust but it’s impossible to always have a water hose to hook up 2. I’ll be Google searching one of those today. Thanks George

[@Alejandrogarcia-fp1fr]

nice video!

[@markriordan1145]

Hi Adrien, great video, had my first rodeo with our dribble bar and like you was struggling with it the first few loads, macerator draws fair power off the tractor which doesn’t help when you need to be going faster. Mastek have an app that can calculate forward speed for you for whatever rate you want to apply the slurry at/ acre 👍🏻

[@paulnewman2115]

Well Adrian great video and about the back pain I think you're supposed to put ice on it instead of heat , 👍

[@louispower2853]

Class videos Adrian, you were lucky that tank wasn’t thick because I know some tanks if you had the macerator off for just a second shed block 😂

[@martinclifford9544]

The slurry comes out an awful lot faster with the dribble bar. If you add up the area of all those pipe outlets on the sides of the maserator, you'll have alot more than the area of the single hole on the splash plate. You'll notice it moreso the more watery slurry you're spreading. You should also notice that you can rev the tractor much higher without putting pressure on the pump, no hissing like you'd have with the splash plate. Which would be a sign that the slurry is exiting quicker. With your hills Adrian, there's no way you'll be able to go fast enough to spread less than 3k gallons/acre. You should also be switching the direction of the maserator also during the load

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes I fully agree with that in every way Martin, it’s going to be a challenge on some of my hills and not getting up enough speed. I’m going with half tanks at the minute on the hills. Maserator does pull a sine HP out of the tractor too.

[@kevinmanley2498]

Also the only way you can fully empty the tanker is to pull it up hill at the end. Definitely with you @Martin Clifford as those macerators take some power on hills when working. Dribble bars definitely do a grand job tho on thinner slurry but I am not quite so convinced on really thick slurry in hot dry times as I have seen it peeling back off the ground while raking silage on a following cut and getting back to the cows again ☹️

[@aranconnell8790]

@@IFarmWeFarm you can get a insert to slow down the slurry going into the chopper. A rubber cone it means UL be able to travel slower. mastek should have recommended one

[@kevinwc5439]

@@IFarmWeFarm I've hill land myself and one tip I have is if you are struggling to get up a particular steep bit and the rpms are dropping shut off the pto for a few seconds and you'll get a boost of power. The pressure in the tank won't really drop off in that short time. I've been able to spread hills at 7 to 8 km with that trick.

[@danieloreilly9085]

Adrian I'd recommend that instead of doing ur ups and downs which r hard wit th load and dribble bar but where possible over and back do it ourselves unless ground is too steep over th Road from ya and it does work wen the runs aren't too short
