This trailing shoe, according to the company, provides soil engagement with an enhanced contour following, and includes a 30-hole distributor, stone trap system, 40mm hose, and five-inch distribution pipe. It provides precise application and a flotation system on hilly or uneven ground, keeping downward force on the shoes, and includes a self-levelling boom that adjusts to the ground. A spokesperson said: “The Agri Pro gives the operator the option of filing from directly behind the applicator into the tank. It is complete with mounting brackets between the tank and applicator, sufficiently mounting onto the tank via a linkage system. The use of slurry applicators is one of the biggest opportunities to capitalise on precision nutrient application to further increase the value of the nutrient-dense slurry while reducing emissions. Low-emission slurry spreading offers up to 60 per cent reduction in nitrogen loss on farm.”
Abbey has added several optional extras to the recessed tanker range including exhaust extension and galvanised mudguards along with Abbey-branded oil and holder. In addition, Tandem Recess Tankers now include a bolt-on hitch as standard. With growing trends in precision farming Abbey offers a range of technology options for slurry tankers. Tanker technology options include NIR Live Sensing technology, Isobus solutions, GPS mapping, multi-stage rapid filing arm, and Flow Meter controls to support the farmer in getting the most out of their nutrient dense slurry. Abbey Plus Range Diet Feeders also have several new upgrades to the line as standard, including 22mm auger, 2810 clock, fully galvanised viewing platform, new style feed out arm, rounded mudguards, wider tray for minimum spillage and door wedges for an even feed out. Diet feeder technology available includes NIR sensor, weighing system clocks, feeding apps and ingredient tracking.
