The Fliegl SKATE – now even better

The trailing shoe distributor SKATE will adapt even better to uneven ground in the future. In addition, with the SKATE 150 model, a smaller distance between the trailing shoes can be selected.

Manure is valuable. Applying your nutrients in a targeted and dosed manner is the benchmark for modern fertilizer technology. Fliegl provides significant support here with well thought-out spreading technology close to the ground. The universally popular Fliegl SKATE trailing shoe distributor applies liquid manure efficiently and powerfully. With the help of the spring-loaded slotted shoes, it lays down the manure bands at a distance of 250 mm on the ground.

Just in time for Eurotier 2022, Fliegl Agrartechnik is now presenting another version of the smart trailing shoe distributor: The SKATE SD. It has a shoe spacing of just 187.5 mm, which has the advantage that more manure bands at a closer distance are placed on the ground. At the same time, the amount of liquid manure applied per hose is reduced. The trailing shoe distributor gains added value through the perfect application of the liquid manure because there is a better infiltration of the substrate, especially since the individual manure band contains less substrate. Highest precision with a fabulous lateral and longitudinal distribution round off the picture of perfect operation. 

Spreading in higher crops is also not a problem despite the small line spacing and because of the line spacing of 187.5 mm, the distributor is also ideally suited for use in row crops.

Currently the SKATE SD will be offered with a 12 and 15 meter working width.

Now even better ground adaptation

Regardless of the variant, the trailing shoe distributor SKATE convinces with excellent distribution qualities and perfect practical suitability, which is also confirmed by the DLG test. Nevertheless, Fliegl is now bringing out a feature that further increases the benefits. In the future, the cylinders of the distributor arms will switch to the floating position during the application process. This guarantees optimal ground adaptation, especially in uneven and hilly terrain. In addition, this results in a better distribution of forces on the linkage and there are generally fewer forces, which above all results in less wear.

As soon as the headland button is pressed, the load on the folding cylinders of the side arms is released and the distributor swings up into the headland position.
