Case IH is expanding its portfolio of high-efficiency spraying options with the new AutoBoom^® XRT automatic boom height control now available on Patriot^® series sprayers. The next-generation technology automatically adjusts the booms by using a combination of chassis monitoring and sensors to function as a "look ahead" and detect changes in terrain. The radar sensors can be configured to detect the location of the ground or crop canopy, maintain a level spray platform, and maximize boom life.

"High-efficiency application starts with superior accuracy, and that means a boom needs to stay a consistent, level height above the ground," said Mark Burns, Case IH application equipment marketing manager. "AutoBoom XRT outshines prior height control options because it allows producers to consistently cover a wide range of terrain, from smooth topographies to waterways and terraces."
