GRIMME has revealed revised BF and BFL series bed formers for the 1-, 2- or 3-bed system.
The newly developed hydraulic stone protection system has been integrated into all models, the company says, and the new BF 400, the BF- and BFL- series will now comprise three models, which will be available from the beginning of 2025.
The wall thicknesses of the main frame has been increased and the connection points between the plough bodies and the main frame have been reinforced, which has resulted in a new three-point linkage. This is now also compatible with the standard lower linkage categories CAT 3 and CAT 4 and allows the use of larger tractors.
In addition to the hydraulic stone protection, the hydraulic stone protection PRO is now available. A hydraulic cylinder has been installed instead of a shear bolt, which allows the plough body to deflect even further upwards in the event of contact with a large stone in the soil.
A ‘Heavy Duty’ package is also offered for the plough bodies of the BFL series, which is available in combination with the new PRO stone protection system. This package includes reinforcements for the side plates and the plough body.
New soil guiding plates have been developed for the plough bodies of the BF series, which are designed especially for medium to heavy conditions, GRIMME says. These soil guiding plates are attached to the uppermost part of the plough body and prevents the soil from falling.
