Abbey Machinery is set to introduce a new 10.5m dribble bar and a new 10.5m trailing shoe to its low-emission application offering. The new 10.5m dribble bar is carried on the tanker chassis, independent of the back door. It is equipped with a Vogelsang distributor with 40 outlet pipes placing the slurry on the ground in rows at 250mm spacings. The unit weighs 615kg.

Abbey says its lightweight, fully galvanized applicator’s key features are its strength and design. The extended boom tips are hydraulic folding, which add the benefit of a break-back system should the booms come in contact with an obstacle.

The 1.25m folding tips are designed to incline inward, helping to create a compact machine for transport. The retail price is €17,718 plus VAT.

10.5m trailing shoe

Abbey are also soon to introduce a wider trailing shoe, to complement its existing 6m and 7m systems. A 10.5m trailing shoe is at the final stages of development and will be introduced to the market later this year.

The new 10.5m trailing shoe is fitted with a Vogelsang macerator, distributing the slurry over each of its outlets at 250mm spacings. All outlet pipes are fitted with steel wear points and rubber outlets feeding slurry.

These are independently sprung to ensure consistent soil contact. The machine folds into a neat transportable solution on the tanker.
