SenseApply
Case IH
SenseApply technology is an economical and adaptable automated live variable rate application solution, designed to maximize the output of every input. SenseApply consists of a single cab-mounted camera system that offers multi-season uses for unmatched versatility and productivity without compromising quality or functionality. SenseApply technology is designed for simple and efficient applications at speeds of up to 25 mph, with the camera self-calibrating to the crop within the first 150 feet during Live VRA. The SenseApply camera – which is mounted on top of the cab to maximize field of view – senses plant biomass and responds accordingly, depending on the application type the operator selected. SenseApply also integrates with Case IH FieldOps and Raven Slingshot, enabling operators to connect and manage application data through their preferred platform.

Fendt/AGCO
Fendt/AGCO has made several upgrades to the AirMax Precision F1/F2 system, now available on the company’s TerraGator model numbers 8300C, 8400C, and 9300C. These include increasing the boom length from 70 feet on previous models to 90 feet, allowing the unit to cover more ground in fewer passes.
