The MAJOR farmer specification Trailing Shoe slurry applicator sits close to the rear of the tanker for better weight distribution and is designed to fit any size tanker.
This unit is easily mounted onto the back door without welding or fabricating, and can be used with the existing splashplate in place.
Slurry enters the macerator through the 4” Bauer coupling and is distributed through the 40mm outlets. The macerator is fitted with an integrated foreign body separator to prevent debris from blocking the outlets.
It also contains self sharpening and self adjusting blades meaning reduced maintenance times. A large capacity stone trap is located under the macerator which collects debris. It can be cleaned out easily, without the use of tools.
The high tensile springs use the high carbon steel coulters to split the grass – allowing the slurry to run on the ground. The spring steel bars on the frame allow the outlets to follow the ground contours.
The MAJOR MJTS6430 Slurry Applicator covers an area of 6.4m with 30 outlets. Slurry enters the Vogelsang macerator through the 4” Bauer coupling and is distributed through the 40mm outlets. A large capacity sump is located under the macerator which collects debris. It can be cleaned out easily, without the use of tools. The 40mm distribution pipes are finished off with couplings to allow simple maintenance of the rubber nozzles. The high tensile springs use the high carbon steel coulters to split the grass allowing the slurry to run on the ground. Pneumatic wheels are fitted as standard letting the frame follow the ground contours.
The ExaCut Macerator is fitted with an integrated foreign body separator to prevent debris from blocking the outlets. It also contains self sharpening and self adjusting blades meaning reduced maintenance times.

Take a guided tour of the Major 7.5m Trailing Shoe with our very own Martin Walsh! Watch him describe the various features and benefits on this low emissions spreader.
West Cork dairy farmers Victor and Rita Jennings run a 160 pedigree Holstein Friesians herd. Their new 2300 Alpine tanker with Major trailing shoe applicator efficiently recycles their farm waste products back onto their 190 acres of grassland.
