TRAMSPREAD Suffolk Combination 12m dribble bar
Case Study: G Henderson Contracting

Last October, G Henderson Contracting from Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, took delivery of a TRAMSPREAD Suffolk Combination 12m dribble bar, 1000m random wrap reeler and trailed engine driven pump unit with compressor. We visited them nine months later to see how the kit was shaping up.

The Suffolk range 12m Combination dribble bar can carry a Tramspread 1000m random wrap reeler. 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 a Tramspread engine driven pump unit to be towed at the same time.

Typical specification includes:

🔵 Ability to carry a Tramspread 1000m random wrap reeler
🔵 Twin Alrena or Vogelsang macerators
🔵 Full electronic control via in-cab control box
🔵 Galvanised construction with breakback end sections
🔵 Hydraulic vertical folding allows access to tractor pick-up hitch
🔵 Flowmeter and NIR sensor ready
🔵 5” front-mounted heavy-duty swinging arm allowing U-turns
🔵 48 outlets at 25cm spacings
🔵 Purge outlet with spread nozzle (optional)
🔵 Valves to decrease spread width and tramline shutoffs (optional)

With hotter and drier summers increasing reliance on irrigation, farmers are being encouraged to look beyond simply increasing water storage to protecting what they already have.

Hexa-Cover, a proven floating cover system widely deployed on slurry lagoons, is now being promoted by UK distributor Tramspread as an effective solution for reducing evaporation losses from irrigation reservoirs, helping growers to make better use of valuable stored water.

Significant volumes of water held in irrigation reservoirs never reach a crop. Field experience shows that up to 800mm can be lost to evaporation each year, further increasing during prolonged periods of high temperatures and low rainfall such as those encountered this year.

“Preserving water collected during winter for use in the growing season is becoming increasingly important,” says Tramspread’s John Tydeman. “This year’s drought conditions mean many farm reservoirs are already empty. For growers operating under restrictive abstraction licences, every cubic metre lost represents wasted money and water that cannot be used to protect yields or quality.”

Hexa-Cover’s hexagonal elements, which are made from 100% recycled plastic, form an interlocking floating barrier, dramatically reducing evaporation losses by up to 95% according to the manufacturer. Installation is quick and cheap – the elements are simply tipped into the reservoir and position themselves.

Hexa-Cover is already used to protect reservoirs on the continent and further afield. John Tydeman believes the technology could now become an increasingly important part of future water management for British agriculture.

“Hexa-Cover has an expected lifespan of more than 25 years, so it’s a long-lasting investment, and we believe that most businesses could recoup the cost in less than five years,” he says.

Hexa-Cover elements are stable and do not rely on trapped air to float or liquid ballast to anchor them against wind. This means that even a damaged element will remain in situ and won’t block outlets or equipment.

In addition to reducing evaporation, the floating cover helps prevent algae growth. It is also suitable for use on drinking water reservoirs.
