Ground-Following Injection Systems

What are ground-following (or floating) drip tape injection systems?

A ground-following injection system allows farmers the ability to maintain the most accurate drip tape injection depth throughout the entire field. Each drip tape injection line has its own floating tool, allowing it to inject the same depth regardless of what is happening to the frame of the implement. The ground-following or floating systems are the ideal solution for rolling or undulating ground and where depth accuracy is very important. Andros has the ground-following injection systems for both shallow and deep installation applications.
