Machine Components
This 3PT boom sprayer is meant to distribute
chemicals over a wide area. The system is
pressurized by a hydraulic pump that
provides flow for tank agitation, tank rinsing,
and boom pressure.
A hand wash tank is mounted on the side of
the carrier. An optional rinse tank is mounted
near the center of the carrier.
A solenoid to each boom controls the flow to
the wings, and a butterfly valve and flow
sensor maintain the system pressure.
Nozzles along the wings distribute the
chemical solution over the field. A screen in
the line next to the pump and after the
solenoids removes contaminants from the
system. The chemical system controller is
mounted in the tractor cab for easy
operation.
The booms attach to and are suspended
from the back of the frame. The inner booms
swing rearward at right angles to the frame
for field operation. The outer booms pivot up
and out for field operation. The wing
breakaways swing back if they hit an
obstruction.
An optional touchdown wheel kit is meant as
a failsafe against changing boom height and
headlands.
It is not intended to set the
height of the boom.
The boom position controller mounts in the
cab for easy operation.
