Boom

Boom types and sizes

The HARDI® EAGLE™ booms are available in the following types and sizes:
SPB sizes: 45' , 50' , 60' & 66'
The 45' - 66' SPB booms are built with the same basic components. There are differences in the outer wing sections to give
the range of boom widths. The 45' & 50' booms incorporate the breakaway into the folding hinge point between the inner/
outer wings. The 60' & 66' booms include breakaway sections in the outer wing.
SPC sizes: 75' , 80' , 88' , 90' & 100'
The 75' - 100' SPC booms are built with the same basic components as the SPB booms. The main differences are in the size
of the boom steel profiles, the folding hinge area between the inner/outer wings and the type of breakaway sections.
SPC Dual Fold sizes: 90'/60' & 120'/90'
The SPC booms are also available in Dual Fold models; 90'/60' & 120'/90' . The outer sections of the dual fold booms fold
vertically to allow for two different spraying widths.
Components cannot be exchanged between the EAGLE™ SPB and SPC booms. Also, the 120'/90' Dual Fold SPC booms are
equipped with a different center section than the other SPC booms.
÷
Note: Individual boom wing fold is not possible using the 120'/90' Dual Fold SPC booms.

Hydraulic systems

The HARDI® EAGLE™ booms are available in four different hydraulic system versions; HY, HV, HZ (trailed) & HZ (self-propelled).
1. SPB-HY & SPC-HY
These types of booms are operated directly via the tractor hydraulics. Hydraulic lift cylinders are used for boom height
adjustment and fold cylinders are used for simultaneous boom wing fold and unfold.
2. SPB-HV
This type of boom has the same features as the HY model, but also allows for individual boom wing fold and unfold.
Hydraulic lift cylinders are used for boom height adjustment and fold cylinders are used for individual boom wing fold and
unfold. The SPB-HV hydraulics are controlled with an electrical hydraulic control box.
3. SPB-HZ & SPC-HZ (trailed)
These types of booms have two boom wing tilt cylinders that give the ability to obtain individual boom wing tilt. Hydraulic
lift cylinders are used for boom height adjustment and fold cylinders are used for individual boom wing fold and unfold. The
hydraulics are controlled with various different electrical hydraulic controls depending on the model of sprayer.
4. SPC-HZ (self-propelled)
This type of boom has two boom wing tilt cylinders that give the ability to obtain individual boom wing tilt. Hydraulic lift
cylinders are used for boom height adjustment and fold cylinders are used for simultaneous boom wing fold and unfold.
The hydraulics are controlled with the HARDI® Spray center and the multifunctional Grip handle.

Note: Individual boom wing fold is not possible using the HY Hydraulic system (1) or the HZ self-propelled system (4).
