HiSpec is now offering an in-house trailing shoe solution to complement our tanker range. The HiSpec Trail-S is available in 6, 7.5, 9 and 10.5 metre working widths. The Trail-S features a robust chassis mounted mast. The mast ensures that the shoe is properly supported to the tanker. The axle is also moved back to ensure the tanker is perfectly balanced. The Trail-S uses individual spring legs and hardened coulters to part the grass and open the surface of the soil in one pass.
Sprung Coulters
The Trail-S features individually sprung legs with toughened coulters to gently part the grass and open up the soil. The downward pressure applied to the legs ensures that the coulter is in constant contact with the ground. This contact is essential to create the optimum channel for nutrient uptake. The trailing rubber boot then deposits the slurry directly into the open channel to reduce contamination. Once spreading is complete, the parted grass comes together again, minimising evaporation and saving on fertiliser.
The HiSpec trail-S features a number of unique features. The trailing shoes fold down to reduce overall height. The HiSpec trailing shoe can also be used as a dribble bar, without any contact with the ground if required. There is also the ability to use either fill point behind the shoe, or the splashplate without any alterations. The 9 and 10.5 metre Trail-S will also feature a unique hydraulic self-levelling, whereby each arm of the trailing shoe will lift as it passes over a side incline. This ensures that the shoe is working perfectly over its entire width and that pressure on the springs is distributed evenly.
