Booms
Industry-leading boom technology for every application. From lightweight aluminium to high-performance TWIN FORCE.
ALU boom
Width without weight An aluminium boom provides an attractive return on investment due to its low weight. The lower weight makes the boom less susceptible to rolling and yawing, which reduces wear and tear on the boom and the sprayer itself. Internal ribs makes it strong and durable, and the aluminium material makes the boom resistant to corrosion. The low weight also makes it possible to build wide booms to boost productivity.

EAGLE boom
Unequalled performance in rough conditions The 18-30 m EAGLE boom is designed for heavy-duty use under the most demanding conditions and minimum service. The boom is well-known around the world for its performance under the hardest conditions. The EAGLE boom is suspended on two large coil springs with shock absorbers. The horizontal movements are controlled by a heavy-duty trapeze system that allows spraying and turning at very high working speeds.
PRO FORCE
AirRide suspension for extra comfort For unparalleled comfort both in the field and on the road, the lower linkage-mounted AirRide suspension is permanently active. This increases the work rate by isolating shocks from the tractor, providing a more stable platform for spraying, thereby improving boom stability and allowing for increased forward speed. Time spent away from the field can also be reduced due to the higher road transport speeds enabled by AirRide and its superior operato
How many extra hours will you get?
Proven and tested HARDI TWIN system has been proven and tested by many field trials and studies. A study done in Denmark with weather report showed that the HARDI TWIN gave 45 more spraying days a year than a normal conventional sprayer. Similarly, an independent scientific study from the Research Centre Flakkebjerg/Aarhus University, Denmark, demonstrated that the spray application quality of a HARDI TWIN sprayer with a 24 m boom was unaffected by high wind at driving speeds of 8 to
DELTA FORCE
Flexibility, productivity and performance The DELTA FORCE is HARDI’s newest family of conventional booms. It is a functional boom designed with future farming requirements in mind Market’s best stability The boom’s simple yet effective pendulum suspension controls boom movements. Together with the boom’s low centre of gravity, the suspension guarantees perfect boom balance in a flat as well as hilly terrains – and enables fast headland turns. With just two parameters to adjust (ce
HYS AIR STREAM boom
Drift control Weather dictates most everything a farmer does. Wind in particular can force a farmer to interrupt or postpone spraying due to drift. The HYS AIR STREAM boom uses air streams to direct the spray to the target, reducing drift and increasing crop penetration and coverage. Less drift means more spraying days, higher application speeds and fewer filling stops. It also allows farmers to address pests and diseases as they appear rather than having to wait for calmer spraying
" Now, we only use 100 litres of water per hectare instead of 250 litres per hectare.”
Introduction Meet Paul Krol from the Netherlands, who owns 2 HARDI ALPHA sprayers with air-assisted TWIN FORCE booms.

More spraying days – better coverage
The former agricultural advisor invites us to his office in his private residence. “We have been farming here for almost 25 years”, he says. “But for the last three years, we have combined forces with two other farms from the neighbourhood, this way we can share machines and thereby lower our costs.” Of the total amount of approx. 1,700 hectares, Jan Wagner owns the 550 hectares. “Our most important crops are definitely wheat, followed by winter rape and winter barley, they represent 600, 480 an
We always prefer to look for opportunities
Mikael Gilbertsson operates about 800 ha of organic agriculture in parallel with a number of other activities. The principle of keeping the organic crops clean and free of the great pressure from weeds and lice is achieved by boosting crop growth, so they are better equipped to resist pests and diseases. They are thus “shaded” against weeds and the plants are given a high content of sugar. The basic idea is that the speed of photosynthesis in the plants is increased by spraying them with active

Norika, one of the largest potato cultivator in Germany, relies on the HARDI TWIN FORCE
Saving on water and chemical usage with TWIN " We have been saving both in water and the chemical usage. Normally potatoes are sprayed with 400 liters of water. And with the size of our company and the logistics involved, we've gone almost 100 litres below in water usage. In terms of chemical usage, I would say that we are at 10% chemical saving range right now. This is possible because we have an air-supported sprayer with the HARDI TWIN ," says Mr. Langehenke from Norika. \
Top 5 ways to reduce spray drift
Reducing spray drift Spray drift leads to ineffective application, wasted resources, and potential harm to non-target areas, including neighbouring fields and sensitive ecosystems. Therefore, ensuring the spray applications stay on target is crucial for minimising the environmental impacts and maximising effectiveness. While weather conditions play a significant role in spray drift, several other factors can be optimised to achieve precise and effective spraying. By understandi
Spot spraying with HARDI AutoNozzleControl
An Overview of AutoNozzleControl AutoNozzleControl is a feature that controls each nozzle automatically and switches off specific nozzles when needed. First, a field map is done in order to get an overview of the areas needing treatment. Thereafter, your controller gives a complete overview of the spray job by allowing the operator to shut off specific nozzles automatically in accordance with the respective maps. AutoNozzleControl works in conjunction with the PrimeFlow system, a pre
