1. A boom for an agricultural machine, comprising:
a first boom section connectable to a vehicle, the first boom section configured to support fluid delivery components;
a second boom section operably connected to the first boom section in an extended position aligned with the first boom section;
a breakaway system coupled between the first boom section and the second boom section, the breakaway system configured to move the second boom section with respect to the first boom section an initial amount in response to an external force exceeding an initial resistance of the breakaway system, the breakaway system further configured to move the second boom section with respect to the first boom section beyond the initial amount in response to the external force exceeding a second resistance of the breakaway system, wherein the initial resistance is greater than the second resistance, and wherein the breakaway system is further configured to return the second boom section to the extended position upon removal of the external force; and
wherein the breakaway system further comprises:
a first braking system configured to apply the initial resistance; and
