Low transport height for Hi-Spec trailing shoe
Hi-Spec Engineering has produced its first in-house trailing shoe applicators with working widths of 6.0m, 7.5m and 9.0m. Main features include the double folding system of the two wider models to ensure that the transport height does not exceed that of a standard Hi-Spec 2600 vacuum tanker. It is also possible to use both fill points and rear splash plate without any modifications.
The 9.0m units also features a hydraulic self-levelling system, whereby each arm lifts as it passes over slopes. This prevents excess pressure from being applied to the outer boots. The company says that the grass covering prevents nutrients from escaping and the placement of the slurry to the roots ensures a reduced grazing turn-around.
Hi-Spec uses the Vogelsang Exacut distributor. A stone trap on the rear of the shoe allows the tanker to be filled manually or use the splash plate by just changing a spool at the rear of the tractor. The unit can also be used as a dribble bar without any contact with the ground.
Galvanised as standard, the new trailing shoe applicator comes with an LED lighting bar for road travel.
