3 Pt Flat Fold Spray Boom

3 Pt flat fold spray boom SPRAYING Miscellaneous 14-5-29 "So far as we know, it's the first and only wide spray boom on the market that folds flat hydraulically right from the tractor seat," says inventor-manufacturer Verlyn Fast, Mountain Lake, Minn. "The 20 ft. wide booms fold flat on top of the 20 ft. wide main frame ù without requiring any cables or chains. When the right or left boom is operated independently to spray a fence line or ditch, for example, the folded-up idle boom lies flat on top of the main frame rather than teetering vertically, as is the case with other makes of hydraulic-fold booms I've seen," notes Fast. The 20 ft. main frame is made of 5 by 5 by 1/4-in. square tubing. Flat-fold hinges al-low the booms to flex and follow ground contour. Adjustable castor wheels are avail-able on the main frame as an option. Or, the 3-pt. rig can be used as a "suspended boom" without wheels. Boom height for broadcast or band spraying is adjustable from 15 to 30 in. Rear tongue hitch allows a large spray tank and trailer to be towed behind. Sells for $4,345, including sprayer plumbing except nozzles and the spray pump.
