Tramspread’s 12m Suffolk combination dribble bar can carry an existing reeler or be supplied complete with a new 1,000m unit.
This makes it possible for the spreading tractor to carry a hose reeler in the front linkage and another on the back of the dribble bar when travelling between fields or jobs. Clear access to the tractor pickup hitch also allows one of the firm’s engine driven pump unit to be towed at the same time.
The front-mounted swinging arm on the new dribble allows U-turns to be made in the field. With 5” pipework throughout, it is a twin macerator machine, with Alrena units fitted as standard (Vogelsang equivalents optional).
The main frame has been redesigned, with integral linkage mounting points to allow close-coupling and a lighter overall weight, and the lighter booms have new breakback end sections.
The reeler is easily dropped-off from the dribble bar, with quick couplers are provided for the hydraulic hoses. The booms are folded vertically using the usual electro-hydraulic controls. Options include a purge valve with spreading tail.
“We have designed this new machine to suit the requirements of quite a specific sector of the market,” explains Tramspread sales manager Jim Peachey, who adds that a lot of customers are already partway there to running a full Tramspread umbilical system with a reeler on the front of the tractor. “The combination dribble bar allows them to complete the outfit.”
