Abstract: A boom mounting assembly for attachment to an agricultural machine is disclosed, which may comprise a primary frame, and a boom support frame configured to support a boom and being suspended from the primary frame to pivot in a transverse plane around a longitudinal axis of rotation provided in a pivot point. The boom support frame may comprise a first sub-frame connected to the primary frame; a second sub-frame supported by the first sub-frame in support sections provided on opposite sides of the pivot point in a transverse direction; and an actuator connected to the sub-frames and operable such that the support sections move relative to the pivot point to increase and decrease, in the transverse direction, a respective distance on opposite sides of the pivot point at the same time. Further, a method for controlling operation of a boom mounting assembly attached to an agricultural machine is provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a method for operating an agricultural machine, the agricultural machine having a boom horizontally extending, a balancing system balancing an orientation of the boom in operation, and a tension system adapted for applying pretension to the boom, in which the method includes: moving the agricultural application machine over soil; balancing the orientation of the boom by the balancing system; limiting or completely preventing balancing of the orientation of the boom by the balancing system, and keeping the boom in a pre-tensioned orientation by activating the tension system; and enabling balancing of the orientation of the boom by the balancing system by deactivating the tension system. Further, an agricultural machine is disclosed.
