BALANCING
Sensor Modes The Boom Guide system can be adapted to any field conditions, because three different sensor modes can be used: • Soil mode: the sensors only see the bottom of the field. For example, a large weed has not any influence on the boom height. The soil remains representative. • Crop mode: the sensors only see the crop. In a closed crop the sensors continue to automatically follow the crop. • Hybrid mode: the sensors see the crop and the soil. The sensors follow the soil surface and the crop. When the crop is uneven, a uniform crop is virtually determined. This mode can especially be used in unclosed or uneven crops.

Boom Guide ComfortActive Automatic boom height control for the complete boom width. Suitable for flat and mild sloped field conditions. Proportional steering of the central slope correction cylinder is done by two ultrasonic sensors to get the best spraying result.
Boom Guide Pro The system uses three ultrasonic sensors to control left- and right-hand boom wings independently for ultimate guidance in the most challenging field conditions. It can deliver positive and negative lateral movement on each side of the boom to follow the contours in every condition!
Boom Guide ProActive (3 Sensors)
Boom Guide ProActive (5/3 Sensors)
This advanced system proactively reacts on boom movement and controls both the central and independent slope correction, as well as boom lift functions to guide the boom over the crop canopy, soil surface or a combination of both modes.
Boom Guide ProActive can be equipped with 5 sensors for the full spray boom width and only be using 3 sensors when the boom is symmetrically reduced for a smaller working width.
