Cross - Trailing Shoe
Cross Agricultural Engineering are the main Irish and UK importer use Bomech Trailing Shoes and Macerators. Bomech Trailing Shoes are the proven market leader worldwide when it comes to slurry application and for this reason Cross use Bomech in all trailing shoe applications. Noted worldwide as the only "True Trailing Shoe" due to its ability to leave the slurry spreading procedure hands free for the operator. Most Trailing shoes are mast mounted meaning the operator has to adjust height on the move. The Bomech trailing shoe is truly trailed and does this for you.
All Trailing shoes from Cross have 4 main advantages over any other manufacturer
-
Chassis mounted - no hanging off the tank barrell or back door
-
Headland managment - Auto lift and drop on the headland, Auto Slurry shut off when lifted, Auto Macerator Reverse, Auto fold up when finished.
-
Auto levelling on the move. No need to adjust the height as you travel through the field
-
Auto pivot and ground contouring. The Only trailing shoe available with a centre pivot motion as it moves vertical up and down.
Stonger than any other
All Cross Dribble Bars are mounted on the tanker chassis. None of the dribble bar weight is mounted on the back door or tanker barrel itself. This means a much stronger slurry applicator system.
Over time the first place to become weak on a slurry tanker is the back door and thats why Cross believe it is not safe to mount on the door.
Tandem and single axle tankers use the same chassis system to mount the applicator on.
The chassis mounting system also allows the user to quick attach the dribble bar on and off of the tanker. This allows for the fastest detachable dribble bar on the market. This also allows the user to mount the dribble bar on the 3 point linkage without any modification.
Cross use Alrena Macerators on all Trailing Shoes and Dribble Bars. Alrena is the macerator division inside the company of Bomech. With 30 years of experience in slurry and trailing shoe technology, the Alrena precision macerators have a solid basis for a high-quality product.
