Hunniford Farms Chat Slurry & The SlurryKat 24m Dribble Bar 🌾

Watch SlurryKat CEO & Principal Design Engineer, Garth Cairns, chat with Richard Hunniford of Hunniford Farms as they discuss the game-changing, new 24m SlurryKat Premium Plus™ Dribble Bar. Hunniford Farms, a leading farm contractor across Northern Ireland and Ireland, has been using this innovative machine since the start of the slurry season and the results have been nothing short of incredible! 🤯

In this video, Garth shares the development story of the 24m dribble bar and how Hunniford Farms has been putting the big machine to the test in on “extreme conditions” of wet ground, slopes and pumping up and down hill. Richard offers an in-depth review of the machine, explaining how its design and performance have transformed their slurry spreading operations for the better. He highlights how the machine has allowed them to spread slurry earlier in the season, even on wet, clay ground and discusses how it performs easily to challenges, with optimal distribution across every nozzle of the boom. They also discuss spreading with Oroflex hose, the SlurryKat couplings, lighter tractor, smaller tyres, soil compaction, weight savings, flow rates, the specially designed macerators and much much more! Overall Hunniford’s have 4.4T less in the field with the new SlurryKat machine ‼️

This video was taken in mid-March 2025, on Hunniford Farms farm, in Gilford, Northern Ireland and is this fields second application of digestate for the season. In the video you can see how great the results have been on the winter wheat crop from the first application, due to the unrivalled performance and even distribution of the SlurryKat 24m dribble bar.

The 24m SlurryKat Premium Plus™ stands out with its exceptional features. At just 1,890kgs, it’s the lightest 24m dribble bar on the market—55% lighter than the nearest competitor! This allows you to use a smaller 150hp medium-frame tractor, improving fuel efficiency, reducing ground compaction, and resulting in better crop yields and savings 🌾

As the only vertically folding 24m dribble bar, it’s the most compact option available. With an under 3.5m transport height and zero tail swing, it offers excellent manoeuvrability. The independent boom control allows for optimal working positions across various terrains, ensuring even distribution—even at low flow rates. The advanced SlurryKat macerator guarantees precise slurry distribution for steady flow and peak performance. Plus, full ISOBUS controls make it incredibly user-friendly and efficient 💪

Tune in for an exciting look at how the 24m SlurryKat Premium Plus™ is revolutionising slurry spreading. Whether you're after lighter machinery, better crop yields, or precision spreading, this video shows why Hunniford Farms calls it a game changer for modern farming! 🏆
