Swath control Pro for John Deere Sprayers

Swath Control Pro, a system for 4710, 4720, 4920 and 4930 self-propelled sprayers that automatically turns the sprayer's boom sections on and off according to a GPS coverage map, is now available in the GreenStar 2 rate controller to automate spray rate control and to enable Swath Control Pro on pull-type sprayers. The GS2 rate controller automates spray rate control functions for pull-type sprayers. It will replace the Raven SCS 440, 450 and 471 consoles, typically used in pull-type sprayers and allow the GreenStar 2 display to take over the spray rate control functions, says the company. It allows the sprayer to turn boom sections on and off according to a GPS field map, which reduces spray overlap and lowers input costs for the grower. The GS2 rate controller reduces cab clutter by using only the GS2 display for rate control, guidance, on-screen mapping, field documentation, map based prescriptions and Swath Control Pro. The operator has excellent visibility on the colour GS2 display for all spraying functions and the touch screen makes it easy to operate.
