Agricast is continuing its focus on offering high-quality parts at affordable prices with the launch of a new high-strength scraper for use on Simba machines.
Suitable for Simba’s SL and DTX machines, Agricast’s new scraper has been developed in response to the high number of enquiries received from farmers whose scrapers have buckled or twisted in use. As well as being stronger, the new scraper has been designed to clean in between rings and working shoulders.
Fabricated from reinforced 15mm thick steel, and trialled on farms across the UK, the new scraper has been designed to perfectly fit existing scraper rails with the use of dual U Bolts, which are supplied with the scraper arm. A 6mm thick Hardox scraper blade has also been developed for use with the new arm.
Priced at £30 for the arm and U-Bolts ,and £7.50 for the blade, Agricast’s new scraper is considerably better value than the OEM counterpart.
The new scraper is designed to work in tandem with the Agricast PRR-610-LW wheel, which was launched in late 2019. With LW standing for light weight, the new wheel is designed for use on any machine using the original Simba Lite rings arranged on 273mm diameter steel tubes.
Agricast’s general manager, William Robinson, says the new PRR-610-LW is compatible with original parts and offers greater durability than the original equivalent part.
“We’ve worked very hard to engineer a new wheel that offers exceptional value for money combined with the highest quality and longevity,” he said. “Our tests showed the PRR-610-LW performed extremely well in the most difficult of conditions in 2019.”
A third new product, a range of Pro-Lift Points, offer exceptional durability through the use of tungsten carbide and hard facing. The Heavy Duty Pro-Lift Point, which is designed to fit Simba Pro-Lift legs, is substantially broader on the front end and more than one kilo heavier than Agricast’s range of standard points.
“We’ve taken our standard point, which is an extremely popular part, and added extensive tungsten carbide and hard facing to it,” Mr Robinson said. “We’ve also made the point slightly wider and heavier. The result is a replacement part that has proved incredibly resilient in tests. We hope it’ll be a popular choice.”
