Farmer
The Farmer is a stable, low-weight trailing shoe that is well suited for retrofitting. Its compact design keeps the centre of gravity close to the tanker, and it mounts directly on the tanker or on any 3- or 4-point linkage. A pendle system in the midframe and in both arms lets each arm follow the ground on its own.

The Farmer in action!
Two Alrena precision macerators with rotating cutting systems ensure an even lateral distribution across the full working width.

Mechanical and hydraulic section control are available, as well as the Alrena ASC-system for switching individual outlets or sections.
Everything you need to know about the Farmer
The Farmer is a stable and low weight slurry spreader, available with a working width of 12 and 15 metres. The compact design and a centre of gravity located close to the slurry tanker mean that the Farmer is well suited for retrofitting, either directly onto the tanker or onto any 3- or 4-point linkage.
The Farmer folds compactly along the tanker so that the centre of gravity comes closer to the front in transport position. 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 require three double-acting control units. An ISOBUS-ready version is also possible. Further features:
For extra flexibility and demanding conditions, the applicator offers the following:
- Two Alrena precision macerators with rotating cutting system.
- Integrated pendle system in the midframe and in both arms.
- The 15 m is secured with an impact protection system.
- Different section control options: mechanical, hydraulic or with the Alrena ASC-system.
- Optiflow hose distance of 18.75 cm or 12.5 cm available.
- Control options for retrofitting: I-Control or E-Control.

How much weight does the Farmer add to my tanker?
1,450 kg for the 12 m and 1,625 kg for the 15 m. The compact design puts the centre of gravity close to the tanker, which limits the extra load on the drawbar and the axle. It mounts directly onto the tanker or onto any 3- or 4-point linkage, so in most cases no preparation is needed beyond the coupling parts.
How do the arms follow uneven ground?
It lets each arm follow the ground on its own. When the trailing shoe system is on the ground, the cylinders are in a floating position and the arms can move freely, so the shoes stay in contact with the field on ridges and in hollows instead of being held level by the tanker.
Which section control options are available?
Three: mechanic, hydraulic, or the Alrena ASC system. The Alrena ASC uses hose valves that are 100% tight at an operating pressure of 4.5 bar, with a very short response time, so individual outlets or pre-programmed sections can be switched on and off without restricting the flow.
Is the Farmer available with ISOBUS?
Yes. An ISOBUS-ready version can be connected to an existing ISOBUS system, with a touchscreen as an option. It runs on one single-acting unit with a free return or Load-Sensing, has automatic headland management, and all functions can also be operated individually.
What is the difference between the Farmer and the Farmer Gen. II?
The Farmer covers 12 and 15 m. The Farmer Gen. II is the newest type in the series and covers 18 m, using a reinforced main frame with a steel cable system to make that width possible, plus an optional 1.5 m hydraulic folding arm extension on each side.
Which hose distance should I choose: 25, 18.75 or 12.5 cm?
25 cm is standard, with 48 outlets on the 12 m and 60 on the 15 m. Optiflow gives you two narrower options. At 18.75 cm (64 and 80 outlets) every outlet keeps its own hose to the macerator, so the transverse distribution stays optimal, even on slopes. At 12.5 cm, half the standard distance, each hose splits into two outlets at the end: the macerators and the number of hoses stay the same as at 25 cm, while the slurry is placed in the narrowest strips in the range (96 and 120 outlets).
