Frequently Asked Questions
What is a LESS applicator?
A LESS applicator is low emission slurry spreading equipment designed to place slurry closer to the ground or crop. This helps reduce ammonia loss, lower odour and improve the use of slurry nutrients.
Which Abbey Machinery LESS applicators are available?
Abbey Machinery offers LESS options including trailing shoe, band spreader, Flexi Shoe applicators and Shallow Disc Injectors. The right choice depends on farm type, tanker size, ground conditions, working width and whether the machine is used by a farmer or contractor.
Can Abbey Machinery help match a LESS applicator to an existing slurry tanker?
Yes. Abbey Machinery can help farmers and contractors compare suitable LESS applicators for their workload, tanker setup and field conditions. Contact the Abbey Machinery team or your local dealer for advice.
Choosing the right low emission slurry applicator depends on slurry type, working width, tanker size, land conditions, tractor capacity and whether the machine is mainly used by a farmer or contractor.
Trailing shoe applicators
A trailing shoe places slurry directly at the base of the grass plant by parting the sward. This can help improve slurry use on growing grass and is often chosen by farms and contractors looking for precise application and cleaner grass.
Band spreaders
Band spreaders are designed to apply slurry in controlled bands across the working width. They are suited to farms looking for a practical LESS option that supports more accurate nutrient placement.
Flexi Shoe applicators
Abbey Flexi Shoe applicators are designed for farms and contractors that need a robust low emission spreading option for demanding Irish and UK conditions. They can be matched with suitable Abbey slurry tankers depending on capacity, axle setup and working width.
