The ContractorPlus Trailing Shoe is manufactured using a single beam frame, and the trailing shoe units are mounted via sprung steel carriers spaced at 250mm. Each unit is fitted with a replaceable cast tip which parts the crop leaves, allowing slurry to be delivered to the soil surface via a rubber placement boot. The unique scorpion-style swing arm guarantees pipe/shoe unit clearance when turning, ensuring complete field slurry cover and operator comfort.
