BackPac – The smart trailing shoe and dribble bar system for umbilical slurry systems
On farms with rolling hills, applying slurry using an umbilical system has become a proven and effective slurry spreading method. This approach not only improves the availability of nutrients in slurry for better plant uptake but also reduces environmental impact by minimising nutrient losses. The absence of a heavy tanker means significantly lower ground pressure, helping to reduce soil compaction and protect soil structure.
Vogelsang’s answer to this need is the BackPac umbilical slurry system—designed with a reinforced linkage, a robust swivel joint, and a centrally positioned heavy duty slurry macerator. This central placement improves weight distribution when folded, ensuring a stable centre of gravity. Optimised hose lengths within the linkage ensure a consistent slurry flow, delivering reliable and efficient application across varying terrain.
Models of the BackPac
BackPac
The ideal dribble bar system for hosing systems
The BackPac dribble slurry technology from Vogelsang is a lightweight, high-performance solution, purpose-built for slurry application via umbilical systems. Engineered for easy compatibility with a range of towing vehicles, it delivers efficient, low-emission slurry spreading while minimising soil compaction—ideal for modern, high-demand farming conditions.
Thanks to its reduced overall weight, the BackPac slurry applicator protects soil structure and supports long-term field health. Its continuous, even slurry distribution improves nutrient availability for crops, and with four flexible working widths (21 to 32 metres), it ensures precision across all field sizes. Seamless folding without overhanging frame parts, along with slope compensation, automated headland management, and maintenance-free joints, make operation smooth and user friendly.
Additional features like individual hose group control and dimensionally stable end hoses allow for accurate, contamination-free slurry application directly onto crops—even on uneven terrain. With its smart design and reliable performance, BackPac sets the standard for efficient, adaptable slurry spreading with umbilical systems.
BackPac Slide
Lightweight with high impact force
The BackPac Slide trailing shoe is a lightweight, high-efficiency system built for precise slurry application with minimal soil compaction. Designed for umbilical slurry systems, it offers excellent adaptability and control—ideal for farmers, contractors, and machinery rings.
Its low total weight helps protect soil structure, while up to four working widths are available without any overhanging frame parts. Individually switchable hose groups and durable BaseRunner trailing shoes ensure accurate, low-emission slurry nutrient placement directly beneath crops for better plant uptake.
With slope compensation and fully automatic headland management, BackPac Slide delivers smooth, reliable performance on all types of terrain. Maintenance-free joints and working widths from 21 to 30 metres make it a practical, soil-friendly solution for efficient modern slurry spreading.
