RETRO FITTING A MASTEK DRIBBLE BAR TO AN OLD ABBEY TANKER - HOW IT'S DONE 

Adrian your ifarm we farm channel and farmer Phil's channel are the best videos on RU-vid.two men from to great counties Longford and Cavan,keep her lit and keep her country.

Well, I’m not a farmer but I really enjoyed seeing the various machines and could pretty much follow what it was all about. The engineering seemed very clever and they had thought of many sensible things that would make the ongoing operation as smooth as possible. Very cool. Props to you for staying with the local option! 😊

Regarding borrowing tackle, my father told me many years ago “if you need to borrow something twice, buy your own” Wise words 👍

great infomitive video. Fair play to mastek..Good to see them so successful

Found this interesting thanks to mastek for explaining the models

Brilliant video Adrian, hopefully the good people at Mastek get a turn after we have all watched that. Seem like a good bunch of lads and run a tight operation 👍

Great video Adrian. It's great to local engineering companies and what they can do. There's so much great machinery made here in ireland that a lot of people Don't know about.

Unreal video. There's so much talk about software tech companies in this country (my industry) but not enough about the world class agri machinery we produce too. Top stuff.

Great video Adrian. The amount of engineering expertise in Ireland is amazing. All the best with ur machine. You will need less artificial for sure.

Great video Adrian, fair to Mastek letting you video in workshop, they gave ya a great run down of their machines, we put a Mastek on Abbey tanker last year, found it a great job.

Well that was a fascinating video Adrian,thank you and Mastek for spending valuable time with us explaining all works on the dribble bar.👍

Mastek dribble bars are very very good. We've had ours for about a year.

Ive only recently discovered the Channel Adrian. Have watched all the old videos and look forward to the Sunday video every week. Best of luck with the new addition to the tanker👍

Well wear on the new machine Adrian!!! One thing I would strongly suggest is make sure it’s watery slurry.. have a shoe with four years and I found that thick slurry tends to stay in lines for the whole year u can see it after you cut your silage wear as the watery slurry doesn’t!!

Shared a house in Dublin a good few years ago with lads from Tullyvin, just up the road from Cootehill, decent lads. Congratulations on the new setup Adrian, really nice. Its an investment in your farm and the way you after your gear it will be with you in 20 years.

Great in-depth video again Adrian . Look forward to seeing it in action . 🤗

Great video Adrian, was very interesting seeing the dribble bar being fitted

Pleasure following along on your journey as a small dairy farmer you living in a different part of the world - you constantly improving and upgrading your farm and your buildings - it`s a pleasure watching your INSANELY perfectionistic professional approach in all you do - meant in the best way possible - lol it`s actually surprising to experience life on a small successful farm still being able to make it and thrive with a relatively small heard of dairy cows. Not sure if it`s normal for your part of the world with small farms still thriving - in the US it`s for sure a thing of the past with farms with less than 100+ cows really "making it". If you one day wonder what we want to see - maybe take us around to look at other farms in your area just to get a feel for the reality of big/small farms and how they operate. I honestly thought the days with small family farms surviving were a thing of the past - small dairy farms in the US are getting swallowed up by huge "industrial farms" with 1000-5000+ cows You are providing a great insight and a great historical look for future generations to look back at how farm life was in the 2020`s with a small heard/one man operation. Pleasure, watching you succeed in your many endeavors as you seem to be a good honest upfront man showing seasons/life as it all happens to you in real life 👍👍👍👍 One question since you brought up your neighbors tank - in France many farmers are members of a local organization of farmers who share some equipment they don`t always use or equipment they easily can be flexible with - why are you and your neighbor not sharing a big tank with dribble bars instead of you both invest in tanks with dribble bars - tanks to spread manure are only used few days of the year and can easily be shared between farms - just a thought you can maybe touch on.....

Nice job , I admire a man that shops local

Love this video Adrian, very informative. I hear you about borrowing, there’s a sure thing that if you borrow kit you will end up fixing it. Will have to look into this for our abbey.

Lovely video, keep up the excellent work. I've heard plenty of good things about Mastek, so I'll be interested to see how you find the dribble bar, though I have no doubt they're a very good make. Take care Adrian.

Looks well , can’t wait to see it working ,and the end result .

Super job Adrien, we got one fitted last week a serious machine!! All you need now is a sight glass and away you go 😉

Great job your getting ahead of the time

Good luck Adrian, you are a tidy operator. Nice machine 👏

Great video and really good explanation on all points with you Adrian and the boys from Mastek, and this is a great sales video for them given the amount of RU-vid viewers you have, as usual Adrian very interesting something different, good man

Another great video Adrian Mastek dribble bars looking great on the Abbey tank 👍👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great video Adrian, so much interest in this across the country the way things are going. Great video of the mastec site as well

Looks very smart Adrian.

Another great video Adrian,great to see how the dribble bar is fitted,they seem to be a great job and it's looking like it's the way we will all be going in the near future with the dribble bar or trailing shoe,well wear and best of luck with it 👍

Interesting video. Its amazing the new equipment for farming.

Nice one Adrian, it beats throwing it around the field with a grape, best of luck with it, keep at her Lad!

lovely piece of kit, looks the part!

Lovely outfit noe Adrian. Interesting to see your review after slurry season is over. Have been told they save alot of time. Which will be a huge plus for u.

Hi Adrian hope all is well with you and your family,once again brilliant Vedio thank you and the guys in mastek for giving us the opportunity to see exactly how they dribble bar is fitted and how it works,looking forward to seeing how it works for you Adrian because we all know that you will give your honest opinion on it which is very important, I am considering getting on for a 1600 gallon hi spec tank so I will ring them for a quote,,,thanks again Adrian well done 👍 👍👍👍👍👍

It is nice to shop locally if you can, and be able to go and see the products with out it taking all day on a long road trip.

Another very interesting video! You always seem to hit it out of the park. Your grass is so green and our's is so brown here in New England, USA

Really interesting video from Mastek, always wondered how they worked,a farmer next to me in kerry have a tractor fitted Mastek reel system, and like yourself they have massey tractors,they range in 7718s,7720s like your 7615 there nice looking tractors.loved today video

Great dribble bar. Good show today.

Lovely job nice to see the new dribble bar , best of luck with ur new equipment, 👍, thanks Adrian, kieran from Laghey donegal town .

Great to see you looking out for local businesses - what goes around comes around. It's certainly an extremely impressive operation at Mastek. 12:35 wondering what's the petrol engine for, is it driving a vacuum pump for priming the system? Great informative video, best of luck with the new machine.

Mastek have some setup Great run tru on the fitting Adrian Hope she goes well for you with the liquid gold and you save quite a bit on the bag stuff well wear 👍

Good video Adrian the tanker and dribble bar looks good , it will be a good asset to the farm . 👍🏻

Looks the business Adrian, from what I understand of this technology it’s a worthwhile investment to deliver efficiencies across the farm operation. Look forward to seeing it in action… 🚜

Great video Adrian nice and different from the norm!!!

Oh babby 😍 a long wanted thing for the tanker 😍

Thank you for sharing.🚜

Great video Adrian. Lovely to see the process and great to see the progress you’re making. Cavan is a hotbed of innovative companies. The Irish are clever people when left alone😀

Great video Adrian best off luck with her

Great video 👍 looks like a great addition 👍

Well ware Adrian, the best of luck with your new purchase, super addition to the farm. 👍 I had no idea it was coming 😉

I went there with my dad and brother to get one dribble bar for a new holland tm125 in August last year from sligo never knew you were near there

Fine looking job best of luck with it 👍

Great video best of luck with it

I help farmer who has one drawing slurry from cows on bales never a blockage great job best luck with it

best of luck .. serious bit of kit.. dribble bars are the only job

Good man Adrian keep it local they are well built , best of luck with it 👍

Savage Adrian it is great how close u are to mastek keep it up 👍👍

The best of luck with it 👍

Another Absolutely top class video , well wear 👌🏻

Haven’t seen the 76 in a while, you keep the bonnet shiny over the winter

great video, vey informative

Great video Adrian Abbey looks well

Great video Adrian your tanker is looking the part 👌

Best of luck with it

Well Adrian I was rewatching one of your videos and the 3 massey tractors ye had the 689t,4270 and the 565 if you could remember what happened to them ? For a bit In a video to mention it if anyone was wondering what happened, if you remember.

Great video as always .🚜🇮🇪

Great job

Good video Adrian interesting to see all put together keep up the good work

Great job Adrian👍 Well wear😀

Pair of mudflaps for tanker now and shel be right!!!! Fair play well done

Nice job👌

Interesting video. We need to be getting a dribble bar in the next year or so and have heard the Mastec are the ones to go for. Our Arla milk contract is banning the use of splash plates by 2025. Also on the slurry subject, just wondering if you have ever used slurry bugs? Its something that we are thinking about using to get more out of the slurry.

Hello from Canada

Well wear and best of luck

Hi Adrian you definitely need to put mud flaps on the tank to keep the lights clean now it would look good

I'm waiting on my hi spec tank with dribble bar for over a yr now.... any chance you would do a video on your thoughts on diesel and fertiliser prices. Or even shed construction prices. Any chance I could msg you privately and get a name of who done your shed Adrian. Thanks

looks great . be nice to see it working

Cootehill is a mighty spot

Such a simple machine if compared to the slurry injectiors that have to be used here in the Netherlands. Systems like these have been mandatory over here for over 20years at least, but dribling the slurry in between the grass isn't allowed anymore.. it has to be injected into the soil. But still i find these video's interesting to watch :) Cheers from the Netherlands Casper

Great video as always love the videos

12 meters look impressive

Great video. Will be in same boat here soon. No grant either. Pity these important environmental systems are not given grant status for all.

I hope you find some thick slurry to try it on. Our slurry is usually thick and I am afraid that it will choke up pipes. We have a few years yet before we have to stop using the swash plate.

From nz lol your vids how much land r you farming looks quite steep land but well maintained credit to you

Well wear best look with it,question mind me asking what drone you using and where did you purchase it,stay safe

We've been looking at different ideas and brands for "low emissions" slurry applications, this video has some what changed my opinion on dribble bars! would you be able to tag a link to the video of the dribble bar vs spread plate? Thank you!

Is the 7 pin plug on the dribble bar for the lights or for the switch?

Well ware. I knew you brought the cheque book to the machinery show 🤫

Great video Adrian, could I get that dribble bar to fit on my 2004 abbey 2100R tanker?.

For the sake of 10 minutes I would put half a tank of water threw the dribble bar to clean it out to stop the pipes hardening and blocking saves alot of time as you could spend 2 hours trying to unblock them👍

Good luck with your investment Adrian and we'll done for shopping local - it will be interesting to get your opinion at the tail end - would you never think of running sheep on your ground to eat off that surplus grass?

Well ware Adrian.. you won’t regret the mastek..just a note if you don’t have the reducer fitted in the macerater you will need to drive a gear or two higher to get the same spread rate as before

Adrian your such a good agri you tuber id say the best love the tanker looks mint hows your calving going? How many left to calf or are they all calved if you dont mind me asking?

Learnt more about dribble bars in half an hour than ive ever read or heard before. Is the macerator easy to drive or is it hp dependant?

Tom pemberton is great. Keep up the good video's

You should put a camera on the back of the dribble bar it is a massive benefit

Great when you have such a professional outfit right on your doorstep. You seem to have a lot of good manufacturers around where you are which is great for buying local 👍

Whats the rough price of that dribble bar

I see u got a light bar for the back of the tank some job🤪🤪
