Deere Spray Boom Protector
The patented guard is made of galvanized steel with zinc-based primer and powder-coat industrial paint, and bolts onto both ends of the boom. It’s designed to prevent damage from fences, trees and power poles along field edges.
Company co-founder Joshua Curry has been a custom spray operator for nearly 15 years, and says he was tired of the damage caused when large booms encounter obstacles along the edges of fields. “Lightweight aluminum frames, delicate nozzles and foam tubing are all exposed to battering. My colleague Joe Collie and I designed this fitted guard for Deere sprayers, and we’re also working on models for other sprayer brands as well.”
Two different kits are available. One is designed for new-style, stock-length Deere aluminum booms ranging from 60 to 120 ft., including booms found on Deere’s 4-series 4030, 4038, and 4045 self-propelled sprayers. The other kit is designed for old-style Deere steel booms.
