An apparatus for spreading slurry comprising a slurry reservoir tank 2 mounted on a chassis to be towed behind or mounted on a vehicle. A transversely extending boom is mounted on either side of the tank 2, adjacent a forward end thereof, via a support saddle 10. The boom comprises a foldable boom section 12, 14 on each side of the tank 2. Each foldable boom section 12,14 can pivot to fold up from transverse extended configuration to collapsed vertical configuration. The booms have slurry discharge nozzles as trailing shoes 22 and/or dribble hoses 22 delivering directly onto or into the ground. The boom is mounted at or adjacent the forward end of the tank. The boom sections 12, 14 are mounted on the reservoir tank by an arcuate saddle 10 with a support shoe 34 to cradle the tank 2. Straps 36 clamp the boom saddle around the tank which can be retrofitted to an existing slurry tanker to provide improved weight distribution.
