Mastek Ltd showcases latest local invention at National Ploughing Championships

The product made it to the final of Innovation Arena 2024.

Last week, at the National Ploughing Championships, Mastek Ltd in Cootehill showcased its Flexi Trailing Shoe (FTS), an original product, and key innovation for the company.

The FTS received a lot of positive feedback from the judges and was a finalist in the Innovation Arena 2024.

Large numbers of people showed great interest in the shoe throughout the Ploughing Championships and the team were honored to present its innovation to Dara Calleary, the Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital, and Company Regulation.

Meanwhile, Mastek is an Irish based company that exports its range of slurry application and umbilical equipment all over the world.

Regarded as a company that strives to be a market leader in its field, Mastek Ltd is constantly investing in research and design.

The latest product for 2024 is the Mastek Twin Macerator Contractor dribble bar which includes a 5-inch drag arm which pivots underneath the machine to allow tighter turns on headland, especially in arable crops..

The second product - the FTS - allows customers with challenging terrain and steep land to overcome the obstacles of a standard trailing shoe. The flexible pipes allow the machine to flex over bumps and hollows and if the tractor has to reverse quickly on steep fields the machine is not damaged like a standard machine would be.It can be retro fitted to the door of any make of slurry tanker or made with brackets to suit any slurry tanker old or new.
