Merlo is showing a new TurboFarmer boom damping system at the Italian EIMA show. Central greasing is also new.
Fitted to a TF50.8, Boom Soft Impact (BSI), comprises a nitrogen accumulator at the base of the boom. The innovation award winning technique absorbs part of the impact on the boom when, for example, entering a muck heap with a grab or when loading clamp silage.
Switched on and off from the cab, BSI not only reduces wear and tear on the machine but also improves operator comfort. Initially be available on the TF42.7 and TF38.10 from the back end of next year, the TF45.11, TF50.8 and TF65.9 will follow in 2028.
Fitted to a TF60.9, the central greasing system automatically lubricates numerous components, including the axles, boom head and pivot points. The new option will be available on all TurboFarmers from next year.
