What makes our boom so unique? The Boyd Boom™ design has evolved and is better than ever.

 

The Boyd Boom™ is lighter than its steel counterpart, while remaining just as robust. As the agricultural implements of today increase in size, the necessity of sprayers to follow suit has been addressed by prevailing grower-operator markets. The larger volume capacity and weight of the modern sprayer calls for a lighter—and wider—boom option. 

 

The advantages of the Boyd Boom™ are endless. Aside from the more obvious reasons of lighter overall sprayer weight, larger swath, increase in machine control, and better allocation of horsepower, matches up to planter tracks, reduces crop damage, the Boyd Boom™ further—and most importantly—cuts down on operation hours. Less hours on a machine allow the operator a significantly higher trade in value and less physical deterioration of equipment. 

 

Among the vast improvements incorporated in the Boyd Boom™ design, one is the manufacture of three bottom rails with fluted (integrated) tubing, extruded into an angle 'L' shaped design which makes it three times stronger. Fluted tubing is used through all three sections of the boom; primary, secondary and breakaway.

 

All hardware incorporated have been updated and is Armor Coat which is a proprietary coating utilizing the exceptional corrosion resistance of Magni 501 base coat with RIE 4010 top coat. The use of special stainless steel bushings assures trouble-free maintenance. All Fastening Hardware is SAE.

 

Primary

Cross 'x' Bracing construction at the mount of the primary section is yet another feature that makes the Boyd Boom™ durable. These extra reinforcing cross sections are on all large booms (120s & 132s).

 

Secondary

The secondary is designed to accommodate the different nozzle applications for any sprayer on the market.This design was widened to allow for the use of special spray systems required by the numerous companies who apply agricultural chemicals.

 

Breakaway

The 3-Way pivoting Breakaway System is one of the many unique features of the Boyd Boom design. This breakaway has been built to specifications in order to handle the tip abuse all booms endure during long hoursin the field. The breakaway has the capability of flexing forward and backward (horizontal plane breakaway), as well as straight up (vertical plane breakaway). Such a simple design has allowed for a reduced number of parts,  consequently relieving the endemic amount of maintenance of the boom set up.

 

The Heart of the 3-Way Breakaway System is the simple but functional 'A' frame. This design has been used on the Boyd Boom and Boyd Extensions for a number of years, lending strong testament to the durable simplicity of the system itself.
