Slit-Style Liquid Manure Injector
Frequent British contributor Andy Sewell recently attended a grassland show in England on our behalf and spotted this combination of a slurry injector and rotary grass “slitter” that saves nutrients by injecting manure into the ground.
  Invented by Phil Blake, the slitter has a bigger than normal tube equipped with slitting knives. Inside that tube is another one with a slot along its length. As the outer tube with the knives rotates, once a revolution the outer holes in the tube line up allowing liquid manure to feed out.
  There’s no bearing on the rollers as the machine relies on the slurry to lubricate them. The system can be used on a tanker truck or behind a tractor using a large diameter rubber supply hose.
  You can watch the slitter-injector in action on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XYv_12TyDA.
