BOOM MOUNTING ASSEMBLY FOR AN AGRICULTURAL APPLICATION MACHINE

摘要

A boom mounting assembly for attachment to an agricultural application machine is provided. The assembly includes a boom support frame which is suspended from a primary frame mounted to a chassis. The boom support frame comprises a transverse beam for supporting an intermediate section of a fluid application boom. The suspension mechanism allows both yaw and pitch of boom support frame relative to the primary frame resulting from fore and aft forces on the boom. Dampers are each connected between the primary frame and the boom support frame at a position spaced from the transverse center of the assembly. Damping of pitch and asymmetrical yaw movement of the transverse beam away from a neutral position is controlled by the first and second dampers.

1. A boom mounting assembly for attachment to an agricultural application machine, the assembly comprising:
a primary frame mounted to a chassis; a boom support frame suspended from the primary frame so as to allow yaw movement of the boom support frame relative to the primary frame; a pair of boom halves each mounted to respective sides of the boom support frame so as to allow yaw movement of each boom half relative to the boom support frame; and, damping means arranged to damp yaw movement of the boom halves relative to the boom support frame.
