Drift

Having the boom too high can lead to spray drift.

Crop Damage

Having the boom too low can lead to crop damage.

Boom Damage

Running the boom into the ground can lead to equipment damage resulting in costly repairs and machine downtime.

We tested the AutoBoom XRT against our legacy boom leveling system on a Patriot 4440 and an Apache 1240 sprayer. Both machines were model year 2019 and had 120-foot booms. The tests were conducted on three different types of terrain and proved that the XRT system is superior in boom height leveling at varying speeds and terrains.

Terrace

Both systems were tested at varying speeds over terraced ground.

Patriot 4440 Datasheet
Both systems were tested at 4, 8, and 10 mph.

Apache 1240 Datasheet
The legacy system was not tested at 8 and 10 mph due to conditions that would otherwise damage the boom.
