George Loch has introduced a new slip-on shovel for air seeders and fertilizer applicators.
The two-inch (five centimetre) shovel has no bolts, and can be adapted to any high centre shovel.
The seed hose lies flat against the shank and is held by a non-slip clamp.
The fertilizer hose is in front of the shank protected by the ‘V’ design of the shovel.
