At Vogelsang, we’ve been at the forefront of slurry technology for decades. In fact, we invented the dribble bar and built the very first slurry macerator—so when it comes to slurry distribution and application, we know what it takes to maximise nutrient use and minimise emissions.
Today, our range of slurry macerators reflects that same innovation, with a solution for every spreading system and slurry type. Whether it’s the compact and breathless ECM, the all rounder ECL that’s become a go-to across Irish farms, or the award-winning ExaCut ECQ—our most precise, heavy-duty macerator—we’ve got you covered.
The ECQ sets the standard for slurry maceration. With highest-in-class distribution accuracy, easy service access, and a DLG-certified (German Agricultural Society) design, it’s built for contractors and farmers who demand both performance and durability in tough Irish conditions. The heavy-duty ECQ version has been designed and tested specifically for Irish conditions.
But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what real Irish users have to say after working with our slurry macerators out in the field.
As a contractor, Pat Boyle needs machines that don’t let him down. After a year with the ECQ, he’s only had to look at it once—a strong sign of its reliability. For fibre-rich slurry, especially with baled silage, the ECQ handles the job with no blockages, keeping his work on schedule and stress-free.
“I chose the Vogelsang ExaCut ECQ slurry macerator because it gets the job done fast. Maintenance is simple, and there’s easy access to all internal parts. It delivers a consistent and even spread to every hose and handles fibre-heavy slurry, like baled silage, without issue. The low oil flow means the tractor runs it with ease.”
Glen Faulkner depends on reliable nutrient delivery for his high-output silage operation. The ECQ delivers even flow across all outlets, supporting healthy grass regrowth and better crop performance. Glen also highlights the ECQ’s easy servicing, accessible parts, and strong support from Vogelsang Ireland as key benefits.
“We chose the Vogelsang ExaCut ECQ for our family dairy farm with about 140 cows due to recommendations from dealers and users and German build quality. It provides a consistent, even slurry distribution—important for our multi-cut silage system. The Vogelsang ECQ is the most modern system on the market and is simple to service and easy to maintain. ”
The Kinnears needed a system that worked with their 10.3m dribble bar and grass-focused rotation. The ECQ gives them the precision they need to manage nutrients efficiently. Plus, servicing is fast and simple, helping them avoid unnecessary downtime.
“We have 140 dairy cows using a grass-based rotational grazing system. The slurry distribution is very even and precise from a nutrient perspective. The slurry distribution is very even and precise, and the backing plate is easy to remove for simple servicing. The local Vogelsang support available was also a significant advantage for us.”
For Kelum Harrington, it’s about simplicity and strength. The ECL’s automatic reversal system evens out wear and keeps the macerator running clean, even in tough slurry. Less maintenance, no blockages, and more time in the field.
“The Vogelsang is just better. The self-sharpening of the blades by reversing the macerator allows for a good chopping force to cut fibre and nice even wear of blades and screens. I’ve had no blockages with it. It chops fibre and tough stuff no bother. If it’s working, leave it alone.”
From dairy farmers to full-time contractors, the ExaCut slurry macerators proves itself time and again—delivering even distribution, low power demand, and long service life. With decades of innovation behind it and the backing of local support from Vogelsang Ireland, it’s no surprise more farms and agri businesses are choosing Vogelsang macerators for their slurry needs.
