Hagie Manufacturing Company continues to be an innovator in the industry. Our new boom may look similar to other booms in today’s market, but looks can be deceiving. Utilizing data gathered from the existing 120’ booms and machines working in real field conditions, we have developed the strongest and lightest available boom structure by performing hours of computer simulations to perfect the optimal design before field testing. We have added many advances to our new 120’ boom that the competitors don’t, won’t, or can’t offer.

There is a big difference between Hagie Paralleling booms and self-leveling or auto-leveling booms offered by our competition. The Hagie Paralleling boom electronically monitors the boom and its relationship to both the ground and the machine, adjusting them hydraulically to keep your boom sections parallel to the ground. When your booms are parallel, and the correct distance from the ground, you will have a consistent spray pattern and a more effective application.

An auto-leveling or self-leveling boom is just a big pendulum, allowing gravity to align the boom with springs and shocks to slow its movements. Leveling your booms on un-leveled ground doesn’t keep your nozzles equidistant from the ground, giving you an inconsistent spray pattern and can leave streaks.

Utilizing the 5 sensors of the NORAC auto boom height control, you will be monitoring the roll of the boom compared to the machine. This allows the boom to remain parallel to the ground and automatically adjust for other terrain changes. Our system also allows the booms to stay parallel during quick turns.
