Keeping chemicals on target is the goal of the Case IH AutoBoom XRT. That little black box with a sensor now on self-propelled sprayers such as the Patriot 440 is a radar sensor that automatically scans and adjusts boom height control. There also is a gyro on the chassis that monitors changes in terrain and adjusts boom height accordingly. The AutoBoom XRT is 50% better in target accuracy, putting product where it belongs and avoiding spray drift events. It also offers the ability to switch between ground or canopy as your selected target. Visit caseih.com.
