Quad-X shows new innovations at Balmoral B3!!
May 10, 2016
Local manufacturer Quad-X will be showcasing their latest innovations in ATV machinery at Balmoral Show, stand B3, including a new commercial spec dump trailer, a new chick feeder and a re-engineered range of sprayers and booms. These add to the comprehensive range of 100+ ATV attachments made by the firm in Ballymena, Co Antrim.
The dump trailer has been engineered for strength and durability, with farmers, groundcare contractors, landscapers, amenities and equestrian customers in mind. Quad-X currently offer an extensive range of 6 models of tipping trailer, ideal for round the farm and garden. This new trailer has been developed to a heavy duty specification for heavier loads and for use with larger ATVs and utility vehicles (UTVs) or compact tractors. A hand pump is available to assist with tipping. When used with an ATV/UTV or tractor an optional electric hydraulic tipping mechanism is available to easily tip at the push of a button, while compact tractors use the tractor hydraulics to tip.
The pivot bogie suspension allows for easier towing over uneven terrain giving extra stability, with knobby flotation tyres making it suitable for wet conditions, and a swivel hitch for safety. The body has been designed for maximum strength using alloy material to keep weight to a minimum. Greasable bushes are used for long life.
Using their extensive knowledge of ATV equipment, the Quad-X engineers have considered the finer details to ensure that the trailer design creates less drag when tipping a large load. More will be revealed at the Balmoral Show, where you can see the 1000 Litre capacity dump trailer on display.
With temperatures finally hotting up, weeds will soon be at the forefront of farmers’ minds. The Quad-X range of ATV sprayers and booms allows many farmers to keep on top of weed control in awkward areas, or where the ground is too wet or difficult to access with a tractor. Given the changes in legislation relating to sprayers and booms, users are now more concerned with the specification of equipment and whether it will pass the necessary tests. Quad-X have been designing and manufacturing a wide range of ATV sprayers and booms since 1993 and have much experience in spraying technology.
Andrew Kitson, Product Engineer says, “Customers can have every confidence that our spraying range will meet and surpass the appropriate testing criteria and give impressive performance. We have re-engineered the range with a new easy mount system which fixes the tanks safely and securely to any ATV, with combined mounts for the boom. This easy mount system allows for quick and easy removal of the boom.” Quad-X offer a range of sprayers and booms to suit different budgets and different users, with sprayers from 60L capacity to 230L and booms from 5ft to 16ft spray width.
With an ever expanding range of Quad-X machinery, there are many products to help give you that spring back in your step this season. A selection of these will be on display at the Quad-X stand, B3 including: new chick feeder, new sprayers and booms, new dump trailer, ATV Wipeout 2, ATV Power Shredder Mowers, Fertiliser Sowers, plastic tipping trailers,
