Upgrade for our bed formers of the BF series

GRIMME presents the revised BF and BFL series bed formers for the 1-, 2- or 3-bed system.

GRIMME presents the revised BF and BFL series bed formers for the 1-, 2- or 3-bed system. The main frame has been extensively redesigned to meet the increased requirements for soil cultivation. In addition, the newly developed hydraulic stone protection system has been integrated into all models. With the new BF 400, the BF- and BFL- series will now comprise three models, which will be available from the beginning of 2025.

 

Reinforced design of the main frame

Bed formers are exposed to extreme forces, especially on stony and heavy soils. For this reason, the wall thicknesses of the main frame were increased and the connection points between the plough bodies and the main frame were reinforced. This also results in a new three-point linkage, which is now also compatible with the standard lower linkage categories CAT 3 and CAT 4. This allows the use of larger tractors.

The new hydraulic stone protection PRO 

In addition to the hydraulic stone protection, the hydraulic stone protection PRO is now available. A hydraulic cylinder was installed instead of a shear bolt. This allows the plough body to deflect even further upwards in the event of contact with a large stone in the soil. Another advantage is that the driver no longer needs to intervene once the stone protection has been triggered and the plough body automatically returns to its working position.

‘Heavy Duty’ equipment package and new soil guiding plates

A ‘Heavy Duty’ package is 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. This provides more stability, even in stony conditions, so that the side of the bed is pressed and slightly recompacted.

New soil guiding plates have been developed for the plough bodies of the BF series, which are designed especially for medium to heavy conditions. These soil guiding plates are attached to the uppermost part of the plough body. This prevents the soil from falling and at the same time forms a stable bed.
