Manoeuvring of the Spray Boom
The SB and MB boom are manually operated. Optionally the boom lift can be manually or hydraulic controlled.
If hydraulic, following operations can be carried out by the tractor's hydraulic control lever(s).
• Raising/lowering of the boom.
• Vertical boom fold.
Correct boom height is very important in order to achieve the most optimal spray pattern. Please refer to the Spray
Technique book for further information.
