Sprayer Setup
Good machine setup and maintenance leads to optimal spraying performance, and setting up equipment for accurate data collection is no different!
How to Set Up your Sprayer
Before you start spraying, use the Work Setup app in the Gen 4 display to select the right information relevant to the field that you are in. Basic machine, product and weather setup is covered in this video, ensuring your machine is ready to collect accurate spraying records.
Ensure your machine is ready to collect accurate application records by using the Work Setup app before you start work. Watch the video to learn how to navigate the Gen 4 CommandCenter™ display to set up basic location, machine, product and weather settings and get optimal performance during application.
ExactApply™
The ExactApply™ nozzle control system allows you to achieve precise droplet and rate control across your entire boom, equating to 3 to 5% savings1 in chemical usage. Individual nozzle control and Turn Compensation enables the rate to be adjusted across the boom while turning, eliminating over-application, crop burn, and off-target application along field boundaries. With in-cab controls, you can monitor and fine-tune your target pressure over a wider range of speeds, ensuring you are achieving the desired droplet size and product rate.
Find out how to set up and navigate the ExactApply nozzle control system on your 400 and 600 Series Self-Propelled Sprayer to achieve precise droplet and rate control giving savings of up to 5% in chemical usage*. This video also covers individual nozzle control, Turn Compensation and setting a target pressure.

See & Spray™ Select
See & Spray Select uses advanced camera technology and the ExactApply nozzle control system to spray only weeds on fallow ground or standing stubble. This results in less herbicide applied per hectare and allows the use of more effective tank mixes to control herbicide-resistant weeds. This series of videos runs you through the process of setting up the See & Spray system on your Gen 4 display, and how to adjust the various sensitivity, coverage, fall back, and diagnostic settings.
