John Deere has introduced Swath Control Pro on 4720 and 4920 self-propelled sprayers. This new system controls the boom sections and spray nozzles turning on and off automatically based on a GPS coverage map that is created as the sprayer goes through the field.
Integrated with the GreenStar 2 system, Swath Control Pro applies chemical according to a GPS coverage map. Product is only applied where and when it is intended for extremely efficient chemical application. And with AutoTrac guidance, the operator sprays more efficiently by eliminating skips and reducing overlap in the field. This allows the operator to become more productive because of less stress operating the machine.
