Major TS-XTreme Trailing Shoe
The Major TS-XTreme Slurry Applicator is designed for rough ground conditions while maximising nutrient utilisation. These units combine the flexibility of the dribble bar system with the precision application of the trailing shoe. This lightweight, low-emissions system is ideal for undulating ground. It is also an option for farmers where tanker size and weight are a consideration.
Flexible hoses fitted atop a sturdy pipe allow each outlet, spaced 25 cm apart, to disperse slurry in uniform lines even on sloping ground. A galvanised blade divides the grass before slurry is deposited at the base through rubber boots. This blade differs from conventional trailing shoe systems where a coulter is used to create a furrow in the soil for the slurry. Because slurry is deposited on the soil surface, the system uses simpler hydraulics and is lighter in weight. Another advantage of this system is the wings can remain unfolded when turning at headlands unlike standard trailing shoes.
Each unit is divided into three sections. The middle section behind the tanker is lifted by a lateral pipe connected to each wing. When the wings are folded into transport position, the mid-section also lifts. This protects the unit when reversing and for safe road transport.
The TS-Xtreme is available in 7.5m, 10m and 12m working widths with the popular 7.5m model weighing less than 500kg.
The units can be retro-fitted, factory-fitted or available as a kit to update an existing Major Dribble Bar.
