Salford-Valmar 6700 after-market air boom applicator

Salford Group recently released the Salford-Valmar 6700 aftermarket chassis mounted air boom applicator.

The Salford-Valmar 6700 will be available for select late model John Deere  sprayer chassis (models 4930, 4940 and R4045), with the release of 6700 models specifically tailored for other makes of chassis planned throughout 2018 and 2019.

The new boom suspension is engineered to handle the higher ground speeds and rough terrain. Hydraulic folding breakaway tips are also included, to protect the 60-foot booms from obstacles. Pitch of the left and right boom sections can be independently adjusted vertically, from the cab, to allow the boom to contour rolling terrain without hitting the ground.

The Salford-Valmar 6700 comes loaded with features including (but not limited to):

• Patent pending 60-foot air booms with 30-inch row crop spacing, fit for 24 row planters
• Quick response times for changing application rates at high speeds, using PWM valves to control the chain mesh conveyors and roller motors
• Left Hand/ Right Hand section control
• Full swath variable rate
• Available with either an ISOBUS compatible ECU, or as “rate control ready” (allowing for installation of a compatible 3rd party controller)
• Electric roll tarp to offer a large open top for simplified tendering
