AutoSection Control (ASC) handles point rows, triangular-shaped fields, and turns off sprayer sections that move outside field boundaries.
The capability of simultaneous seeding and Anhydrous application allows true single-pass seeding operations. With variable rate (VR) and AutoSection control (ASC), nitrogen fertilizer is applied exactly where it's needed every time.
Controls up to 30 boom sections
AgCamProvides high-quality images in any light conditions and improves machine control, safety, and monitoring. Featuring a rugged, waterproof housing and strong magnetic mount, the AgCam is easily positioned or moved among vehicles for a wide range of applications.

System 200/250 Spray Control provides cost savings on inputs, while protecting the environment from excess chemical application. The easy-to-use system controls up to three tanks at once and up to 30 boom sections with AutoSection Control.
These features considerably reduce your workload, cut chemical costs and increase the accuracy of spray application.
The GDX viewer software displays weather maps data for temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction and Delta T, so that you only spray when the conditions are right. Colored legends help you identify differing weather conditions and arrows depict wind direction. The GDX Viewer logs weather records, so you can save, print or send information for a given location, date and time. The reports can display one minute increments of recorded data in a spreadsheet format.
Variable Rate Control (VRC) helps manage input costs by allowing you to place variable amounts of seed and fertilizer precisely where you need it the most.
For advanced planning, application and review, MAPLINK software lets you import prescription maps, build your own, or log application and elevation data.
CropSpec™ On-the-Go Nutrient SensorScans crops to determine nutrient levels, records data for creation of prescription maps, and control of application levels as needed.
