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.

A housing arrangement for a wearpad may include a boom for a telescopic boom assembly; a plate for contacting at least one end of the wearpad when the wearpad is installed adjacent to the boom; and a fastener for securing the plate to a surface of the boom. Optionally, at least one of the plate and the boom includes a tab, where the other of the plate and the boom includes a slot, and where the slot is configured to constrain the tab in at least two directions when the slot receives the tab.

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a wearpad for a telescopic boom assembly including a first surface for contacting an outer boom of the boom assembly, a second surface for contacting an inner boom of the boom assembly, and a length, where the first surface and the second surface extend along the length, and where the length extends along a longitudinal direction. A chamfered portion of the wearpad may have a first end at a first location along the length and a second end at a second location along the length. The first surface and the second surface may converge along the chamfered portion. Thus, a first distance between the first surface and the second surface at the first end of the chamfered portion may be greater than a second distance between the first surface and the second surface at the second end of the chamfered portion.
