BlackBird Single: Slim trailing shoe linkage from Vogelsang

| Press, International, Agricultural technology

Essen (Oldenburg), Germany, October 16, 2024 – With the new BlackBird Single trailing shoe linkage, Vogelsang GmbH & Co. KG is launching a compact and lightweight spreading system on the market. This allows farmers to spread liquid manure evenly, precisely and with low emissions on working widths of 7.5 to 12 meters. 


“With the BlackBird Single, we are offering modern liquid manure spreading technology which is suitable for smaller slurry tanks and working widths and meets the stricter legal requirements,” says Henning Ahlers, Sales Manager Agricultural Technology Germany at Vogelsang. 

Low weight, more scope in terms of payload

With a weight of 1,050 kilograms for a working width of 12 meters, the BlackBird Single is particularly light. This is made possible by the runners, which consist of robust special plastic, and the slim linkage design with just one centrally installed precision distributor from the ExaCut series. The comparatively low weight of the trailing shoe linkage protects the ground during crossings and facilitates retrofitting and handling. The transport lock integrated into the folding cylinder also contributes to simplified retrofitting. 

Ahlers explains: “The standard transport lock is detached on the linkage side and makes it easier to retrofit the trailing shoe system to almost any slurry tanker.” 

Thanks to the integrated slope compensation, the BlackBird Single adapts perfectly to the ground conditions and enables the slurry to be spread uniformly and precisely, even on hilly terrain.   

With a transport width of 2.55 meters when folded, the BlackBird Single complies with legal regulations throughout Europe. The trailing shoe linkage is available in working widths of 7.5, 9, 10.5 and 12 meters.
