Samson has certainly bided its time before completing its slurry applicator offering with a trailing shoe. Initially there was no additional capacity at the Viborg factory, but this issue was resolved when Samson bought the Göma premises in 2021. Then there were patent matters that required some patience. This gave the Danish firm plenty of time to take a closer look at what the competition was offering and develop its own new boom.

The outcome is the Trailing Shoe Boom. The numbers in the model moniker refer to21m by removing the runners and blocking off the respective outlets on the distributor. The applicator’s modular design (central frame, two 18m booms plus extension kits for 21m and 24m), gives Samson better flexibility for manufacturing and stocking. However, when compared to its competitors, this means the 18m version at 3.0t is slightly heavier than the competition, while the 24m, which weighs in at 3.8t, is on a par.
