Agricast has launched a unique trade-in service for people looking to replace their TerraGrip Spring Units with the company’s shear bolt protected alternative – the Agricast Leg Clamp. This cost-effective replacement allows users to move to lower disturbance cultivation methods.
The trade-in service is straightforward. People who send in a complete TerraGrip Spring Unit will receive an Agricast Leg Clamp in return for just the delivery cost.
The launch of the trade-in service coincides with Agricast offering an expanded range of TerraGrip Spring Units parts in its 2023 parts catalogue and online.
Agricast’s managing director, William Robinson, said the alternative leg clamp was developed after successfully converting a Simba SL600 that was demonstrated as far back as 2017.
“With our expanded range of low disturbance legs, we continue to develop straightforward ways to adapt older machines to more modern cultivation practices,” he added.
“As well as introducing the Agricast Leg Clamp, we also decided to expand our range of TerraGrip Spring Unit spare parts. The OEM unit is very effective, but can wear quickly in hard ground conditions, as we saw last year, and with the cost of parts doubling in the last four or five years, maintaining them is becoming prohibitive.
“Our range of aftermarket parts is much better value, made to equal or better standards and are a direct replacement.”
As with many Agricast’s parts, the company says it has refined and strengthened the original design, in this case developing compatibility with its LDX, GLX and STX low disturbance legs and original parts.
