The boom is the critical component for wide-area chemical application, determining the uniformity and accuracy of the treatment. Maintaining a consistent boom height relative to the target is essential for optimal droplet coverage and crop protection performance.
Common operational issues include improper height settings, which can lead to wind drift or inadequate overlap, and excessive operating speeds on uneven terrain that cause the boom to bounce. Proper maintenance of the suspension system is required to ensure the boom remains stable and level during field operations.
