Hi-Spec Engineering has introduced its own design of trailing shoe to complement its vacuum tanker range. The Hi-Spec trailing shoe is available in working widths of 6.0m, 7.5m and 9.0m.
The implement features a robust chassis-mounted mast. This ensures that the tanker and shoe are perfectly balanced, and that the shoe is properly supported by the tanker. The axle is also moved rearwards to support the trailing shoe’s weight.
The Hi-Spec trailing shoe features a number of unique features. The 7.5m and 9.0m trailing shoes feature double folding to reduce the overall height for transportation. This ensures that it will not exceed the height of a standard Hi-Spec 2600 tanker. There’s also the ability to use both fill points and the splashplate at the rear without any modifications.
The 9.0m trailing shoe also features a unique hydraulic self-levelling system, whereby each arm will lift as it passes over a side incline. This ensures that the shoe continues to work perfectly across an incline without excess pressure being applied to the outer boots.
The Hi-Spec attachment features hardened trailing shoes that gently part the grass sideways and allows the slurry to be placed onto the ground via a special rubber boot. The grass covering will then prevent valuable nutrients from escaping and the placement of the slurry to the roots ensures a reduced grazing turn-around. The trailing shoe can also be used as a dribble bar, if needed, without any contact with the ground.
Hi-Spec are using Vogelsang’s Exacut as a distributor to take the slurry evenly to the hoses. A unique stonetrap on the rear of the shoe allows the tanker to be filled manually, or use the splashplate by just changing a spool at the rear of the tractor.
Hi-Spec’s new trailing shoe is galvanised as standard and features an independent LED lighting bar for safe travel on the road.
