| ACHIEVE SUPERIOR ACCURACY AND UNIFORM PLACEMENT OVER ENTIRE WIDTH OF BOOM |
|
 |
Stainless Steel Booms • Designed for commercial rental operations, Valmar’s 5500 Pull-Type self levelling booms feature extra strong all stainless steel construction with break-away boom tips for added protection. The standard unit comes with a 40 foot boom, while the Row Crop uses a 36 foot boom. An optional kit is available to extend the Row Crop boom to 38 feet. The booms fold manually. Optional kit for hydraulic boom fold is available. |
| 1000 RPM P.T.O. Fan Drive • The 5500 PT fan is driven by a 1000 RPM power take off system. The constant velocity drive shaft is 1 3/8 inch diameter - 21 spline and is equipped with an over-running clutch to prevent damage from sudden disengagement of the tractor PTO system. An optional 1 3/4 inch - 20 spline shaft is available. Ground Driven Metering System • A hydraulically engaged metering system provides consistent application rates regardless of ground speed. Either side can be manually disengaged for 1/2 width application. |
 |
Extremely Accurate Metering Gear Box • The mechanical gear box uses 60 different gear ratios for metering rates at 5% increments. This provides rates as low as 4 lbs/acre for herbicide application and the higher ratio can achieve rates as high as 400 lbs/acre at 5 m.p.h. A bulk density scale is supplied to help match your fertilizer blend to the application rate charts. |
 Apply Herbicides Or Small Seeds • With the optional herbicide kit, the 5500 PT can accurately apply small seeds or herbicides. The kit consists of two 28 groove metering rollers and a fan intake reducer. |
Roll Tarp Included • All 5500 Pull-Types come with roll tarp installed. |
 |
Ideal For Row Crop Application • Tandem walking beam axles are standard on both models. The Row Crop unit is equipped with narrow tires and a 36 foot boom for application in 36 inch rows. |
