A dribble bar is precisely what it sounds like. It is a bar-like system that dribbles manure at low pressure onto the soil beneath plant leaves, improving application precision, reducing runoff, and lessening crop damage and odor.
The dribble bar spreader was invented in Europe, where it is widely prohibited to apply manure outside of the growing season.
For manure haulers, spreading liquid manure has always been challenging. Spraying it on fields is unpleasant and not very reliable.
Additionally, excessive runoff and crop damage may result from this spreading technique. Thanks to Eric Hoover, liquid manure can now be hauled with less odor.
Compared to current splash plate spreaders, the amount from each row is more uniform. The Hoover manure distributors are fine-tuned to dispense the manure uniformly.
Manure is applied at the base of the plant. This is closer to where a developing crop uses it, making the manure application more like fertilizer (although there will still be some variance in nutrient content).
Even though low-disturbance manure injection into the soil is better, it requires more time and power. At times, the optimum method for applying manure to growing crops or forages is the speed of manure dribble bars.

The Hoover 50 Ft Dribble Bar is designed to apply liquid manure precisely and efficiently while reducing odor and nitrogen loss. Unlike traditional splash plate spreaders, dribble bars place manure directly at the soil surface, minimizing airborne drift and improving nutrient retention.
Built for durability and consistent field performance, this system delivers uniform distribution across the full working width. Whether used with a tank system or dragline setup, the 50 Ft Dribble Bar provides a practical solution for modern manure management.
Dribble bar systems significantly reduce odor compared to spraying methods.
By placing manure directly at the soil surface, less nitrogen is lost to volatilization.
Compared to splash plate spreaders, dribble bars provide a more consistent distribution pattern.
Dribble bars reduce airborne drift by delivering manure in controlled streams directly to the ground.
Designed for tanker setups
Ideal for shorter haul distances
Flexible operation in smaller or segmented fields
Designed for continuous pumping systems
Ideal for large acreage operations
Reduces soil compaction compared to heavy tanker loads
Efficient for high-volume manure movement
While many tankers use flotation tires, the weight of the equipment poses a compaction issue. Utilising a dragline to apply manure eliminates that risk.
Cool, rainy spring weather makes drag lines more practical on soft soil.
Farmers in Pennsylvania are very interested in using manure dragline to apply manure. As a result of the increased demand, custom manure haulers have invested into draglining, making this practice possible across the state.
Even though low-disturbance manure injection into the soil is better, it requires more time and power. At times, the optimum method for applying manure to growing crops or forages is the speed of manure dribble bars.
Yes. Many farmers use dribble bars for in-season application.
