tractor with spray boom for orchards

What’s new in ARBO booms :

  • Spray head angle adjustment
  • Adjustable depth wheel
  • Treatment width from 45 to 55 cm
  • Additional 40 or 50 cm hood

NEW RAMP ARBO!

Our experience in protected herbicide application led us to build a boom for orchards, taking into account the specific requirements of this type of crop.

Absolute spray safety

  • Winter/spring treatments: at bud break
  • Summer treatments: no risk of projection onto foliage
  • Autumn treatment of brambles: total safety at a time of high vegetation sensitivity

Guaranteed spray efficiency

The protected ramp principle offers 2 essential advantages:

  • The active ingredient is precisely positioned with no drift, and therefore no variation in spray concentration.
  • The tall grass is first laid down and then sprayed, receiving a much greater quantity of active ingredient than with open-air spraying.

New:

  • Spray head angle adjustment (manual or hydraulic)
  • Adjustable terrage wheel (manual or hydraulic)
  • Treatment width from 45 to 55 cm
  • Additional 40 to 50 cm hood for weed control coverage from 40 cm to 1 m

 

Our experience in protected herbicide application led us to build a boom for orchards, taking into account the specific requirements of this type of crop. It has enabled us to develop a boom with precision spraying, effective in all seasons and in complete safety.

The double-groove attachment mounted underneath the tractor, between the front and rear wheels, allows quick removal of the weed control boom.

  • Width adjustment is performed by a set of 2 slides.
  • Angular adjustment of the spray head for ridge planting.
  • Shock-absorbing spring retracts the protective cover.

FIXING :

  • A double gogue allows the assembly of a left and/or right ramp. This part is attached to the underside of the tractor between the front and rear wheels. Boom disassembly takes just a few seconds, with the double-groove remaining permanently on the tractor (see 3-point chassis).

SETTINGS :

Width adjustment is performed by :

  • A set of 2 complete slides.
  • An angular adjustment (manual or cylinder) of the spray head for ridge planting.

CANT CONTROL :

  • A system of connecting rods allows the boom to float, even when the lifting cylinder is blocked.
  • What’s more, an adjustable balancing spring neutralizes the weight of the boom, which can then follow the profile of the ground, via an adjustable terrage wheel (manual or cylinder, see option).
  • As soon as the lifting cylinder is actuated, the float system is neutralized and the boom is raised almost vertically.

RETRACTING THE PROTECTIVE COVER :

A spring and shock absorber allow the hood to retract as it passes over an obstacle, returning quickly and smoothly.

  • Correct positioning of the damping spring’s anchoring points generates a virtually constant retraction force over the entire travel of the hood.
  • A “soft” and a “hard” position are provided.

PROCESSING WIDTH :

  • The 45 cm diameter retractable hood, equipped with a mirror nozzle and drip filter, allows a treatment width of 45 to 55 cm, depending on the height of adjustment. additional hood combinations of 40 or 50 cm possible.
