Farmer Gen. II

The Farmer Gen. II is the newest type in the Farmer series, bringing 18 m of working width to a frame built for retrofitting. A reinforced main frame with steel cable system carries the booms and cuts stress on frame and cylinders by at least 50%. An optional 1.5 m folding arm per side lets it fit shorter tankers too.

Everything you need to know about the Farmer Gen. II

The Farmer Gen. II is the newest type in the Farmer series and is available in 18 metres. A strong main frame including a steel cable system makes this working width possible, while the compact design and a centre of gravity close to the tanker keep the machine suitable for retrofitting.

The wing suspension by means of a steel cable system works automatically and there are no special prerequisites for the slurry tank. The system reduces the static and dynamic stress of the wide booms on the frame and on the hydraulic cylinder by at least 50%. The forces are used as a counterweight, which boosts stability and durability.

The Farmer Gen. II 18 has an optional 1.5 m hydraulically folding arm extension on each side, which reduces the transport length so the machine also fits shorter tankers. Further features:

For extra flexibility and demanding conditions, the applicator offers the following:

  • Reinforced main frame combined with a steel cable system.
  • Secured with a 3-dimensional impact protection system of 1.25 m.
  • Automatic level adjustment on the middle frame and on both side arms.
  • Possibility to spread slurry at 15 m in combination 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.

Frequently asked questions

Contact us
How is the boom carried at 18 m?

By a reinforced main frame combined with a steel cable system. The wing suspension works automatically and needs no special provisions on the slurry tank. It reduces the static and dynamic stress of the wide booms on the frame and cylinders by at least 50%.

Can I attach it to a shorter tanker?

Yes, with the optional 1.5 m hydraulically folding arm extension on each side. That shortens the mounting length so the machine also fits shorter tankers, and it lets you reduce the working width when you need to.

Can I spread at 15 m instead of 18 m?

Yes, in combination with the Alrena ASC system. The hose valves switch off the outer sections, so you can work at 15 m without changing the machine.

How is the machine protected on the headland?

It is secured with a 3-dimensional impact protection system of 1.25 m. The arms give way in three directions on impact and return to position, which prevents damage to the frame at this working width.

What is the difference with the Multi Profi 18 m?

Both cover 18 m at 2.99 m transport width, but the Multi Profi is built for higher capacity: an 8 inch connection up to 12,000 litres per minute, the HC-frame as standard, a hydraulic suspension system and armoured trailing shoes. It weighs 2,525 kg against 2,000 kg for the Farmer Gen. II.

How does the contour adjustment work across 18 m?

Automatic level adjustment on the middle frame and on both side arms. Each part of the boom follows its own section of the field, which keeps the shoes at the right height across the full width instead of only in the centre.
