Careful Controllers

View the latest technology offered with controllers from suppliers such as AGCO Global Technologies, Raven Industries, and Trimble.

EZ-Boom 2010, Trimble

The AgGPS EZ-Boom works with the AgGPS EZ-Guide lightbar guidance system to ensure target rate application throughout the field and automatically controls up to 10 boom sections.

DirectCommand, Ag Leader Technology

The INSIGHT DirectCommand features AutoSwath automatic boom section control and the Smart Report application report. The unit can do multiple product variable rates and has an autopilot interface.

Legacy 6000, Midwest Technologies

The Legacy 6000 is a high-end CAN control system. Its capabilities include multiple-product variable-rate application control, automated steering, automatic boom section control, and field mapping.

Envizio Plus, Raven Industries

The Envizio Plus features AutoBoom, which provides worry-free operation of hydraulically leveled booms. The unit also has a data logging feature so users can get actual rate information from a console and can data log up to five products.

Swath Control Pro, John Deere Ag Management Solutions

The Swath Control Pro uses GPS to turn boom sections on and off automatically, according to a coverage map. The map shows where the operator has applied product or created boundaries not to be sprayed.

Fieldmanager, Trimble

This unit shows prescription mapping data and field information to provide a wide range of technically advanced variable-rate applications.

Falcon II, Agco Global Technologies

Compatible with most GPS and lightbar systems, the Falcon II is a stand-alone controller and can act as a “basic,” single-rate controller or a single-rate controller using a background image to “view” application. It can also control multiple products (up to 10) and variable rates (up to 200).

Intelliag, Dickey-John Corp.

IntelliAg uses CAN-based technology to interface with seed sensors, shaft monitors, and hydraulic valves.

Precision Rate Controller, Veris Technologies

The Precision Rate Controller has the widest range of pulse-free rates, says the company, from 20 to 300 rpm. This eliminates the need to ever change drive sprockets. The unit can be used with computer-generated prescriptions from several software blenders. The unit features PosiRate technology.
