Vogelsang has announced it will launch a new UniSpread model at Agritechnica in November. The new 12-metre UniSpread will join the existing range to offer an additional one fifth working width.
“This model is aimed at farmers and contractors who need a compact solution for spreading liquid manure close to roots. The linkage is available as a dribble bar and trailing shoe and features Vogelsang’s tried-and-tested folding mechanism behind the drum, making it an easy retrofit to any size of tanker,” explains Vogelsang’s Andy Hayhurst.
The trailing shoe model of the new 12-metre UniSpread will be on show at Agritechnica and will showcase the brand’s DoubleFlow trailing shoe design.
“DoubleFlow halves the row spacing from 25 to 12.5 centimetres to enable more slurry to be applied more accurately,” adds Mr Hayhurst.
The new model features two side support wheels to ensure optimum guidance, and operators can specify an optional piping kit. The UniSpread also benefits from the long- established ExaCut precision distributor.
“The ExaCut ECL will be the standard fitment, but customers can also choose the lower maintenance ExaCut ECQ, which has won awards for its precision. We are seeing a growing demand for flexible linkages that can be adapted to varying terrain and drum sizes, both for retrofitting and for equipping new tankers, so having this available for the new UniSpread will help it fit the different farm systems in the UK,” says Mr Hayhurst.
Alongside the UniSpread will be two of Vogelsang’s BlackBird trailing shoe models, to enable a direct comparison, on the Agritechnica stand. The BlackBird Light is available in 12 or 15-metre working widths and is equipped with two ExaCut ECM distributors without air suction. The Pro version offers the same working widths, and it can be equipped with two precision distributors from the ExaCut series.
“We will also be exhibiting the 30-metre BlackBird and the SwingMax5 Slide trailing shoe linkage with a working width of 24 metres. It is based on the already well established SwingMax Slide but the height and width has been adapted to meet UK height and width regulations,” says Mr Hayhurst.
