A UK supplier of specialist wearing parts will reveal its latest low disturbance point at LAMMA 2025.
The new point – the GLX 150 Ultra – expands Agricast’s popular range of grassland points, joining the LDX and STX in the company’s low disturbance line-up.
The GLX 150 Ultra is similar to the GLX Ultra in that it features Tungsten Chip Hard Facing on the shin, a large Tungsten Tile on the nose and a high chrome hard facing on the nose and wings. Additional Tungsten Carbide has been added to the wings to offer increased protection. As the name suggests, the new point is 150mm wide as opposed to the 112mm standard GLX.
The range has been incredibly popular since Agricast’s original GLX point was introduced in December 2020. The GLX point is the company’s fastest-selling product, and this year’s addition – the GLX Ultra sold out in two months.
One farmer who has been impressed with the GLX point is Mr Witter from North Lincolnshire, who said: “The addition of Tungsten chip hard facing onto the GLX-Ultra points this year has made them the best lasting point that I have ever used, the shin just sits there now, and it must last 50% longer than before.”
As well as the new GLX 150 Ultra, Agricast will celebrate six years of its High Strength Wheel at LAMMA and launch the GRX – a new low disturbance point designed for Grange Machinery machines.
“We appear to have found the sweet spot of performance, durability and value for money with our GLX range, which has made it incredibly popular,” says William Robinson, Agricast’s managing director. “We always enjoy LAMMA, and we’re very much looking forward to introducing people to the latest additions to our range.”
