A new compact boom folding system will be on show from Kuhn Farm Machinery at LAMMA 2012.
The MEA3 boom folding system is now available on the mounted DELTIS and ALTIS sprayers as well as the trailed METRIS models.
This system, with its diagonal boom positioning, allows for very compact format when not in use – fitting within the machine’s dimensions to improve transport safety and avoiding spray droplets falling on the tractor. The MEA3 works in tandem with the OPTILIFT parallelogram mounting system that provides increased stability and reliability.
Booms constructed of 100% aluminium are a common feature on Kuhn sprayers, providing the advantages of being relatively lightweight and being more resistant to corrosion than alternatives. On Deltis and Altis mounted models, booms are constructed with only three arms, improving stability and increasing reliability due to the reduced articulation points.
