Farmer
Available Trailing Shoe systems:
– Farmer 12 meter
– Farmer 15 meter
The Farmer trailing shoe system is a stable and low weight slurry spreader. The Farmer is available with a working width of 12 m and 15 m. The compact design and a centre of gravity located close to the slurry tank means that the Farmer is well suited for retrofitting. The Farmer can be mounted directly onto the slurry tank, or onto any 3-/4-point linkage.
Two Alrena precision macerators with rotating cutting knives and stone / debris traps ensure precise distribution of the slurry. Hoses are not bent during lifting or folding, and all cylinders have end cushioning. Both features guarantee maximum performance and durability.
The Bomech-Farmer folds compactly along the tanker so that the centre of gravity of the trailing shoe distributor in the transport position comes closer to the front. When folding, the outlets are raised first so that absolutely no soiling of headlands, streets and agricultural roads can take place. The basic hydraulics and standard version requires 3 double-acting control units (3DA). Optionally, the I-Control as well as the E-Control is possible with this trailing shoe distributor. For more information on all possible Bomech controls, check the technical data on the last pages of this brochure.
Double pendlesystem
The Farmer has an integrated pendlesystem in the midframe and in both arms. When the trailing shoe is on the ground, the cylinders are in the floating position and the arms can move freely. Because of this the distributor can adjust to any soil conditions. In combination with individually spring-mounted trailing shoes, the distributor adapts to the most difficult terrain conditions.
