Features may include:

• Boom options

• When purchasing a John Deere GPS PrecisionSprayer unit, there will be one boom option to choose from, the 5.5-m (18-ft) spray boom.

• This boom size makes an excellent choice for spraying greens, fairways, tees, and other areas. Features include:

• Standard electrohydraulic lift

• Standard triple-nozzle bodies

• Bidirectional breakaway

• The boom height is adjustable by loosening four U-bolts, lifting or lowering the boom to the desired height, and retightening. This allows both booms to accept a wide range of nozzle angles and styles for proper overlap.

• Nozzle spacing

• The nozzle spacing on both booms is preset to 50.8 cm (20 in.), but is adjustable by loosening the nozzle body clamp, sliding the nozzle body along the boom, and re-tightening it into position.

• The 5.5-m (18-ft) boom has four nozzles on the left boom, three nozzles on the center boom, and four nozzles on the right boom.

• 4640 Universal Display

• The 4640 Universal Display provides the latest redesign and improved operating experience for John Deere ProGator™ GPS Sprayer operators, and is loaded with the following benefits:

• A quickly learnable display resulting in reduced training, less expensive downtime, and fewer operator mistakes

• Improved data capture and collection capabilities, providing more accurate Section Control (individual nozzle control) performance and documentation

• An expanding suite of precision spraying applications including performance and usability enhancements in applications such as the AutoTrac™ assisted steering system and Section Control and documentation

• Section Control

• John Deere Section Control (individual nozzle control) automatically turns individual nozzles on or off to reduce overlap and improve input management. John Deere Section Control can be utilized for spraying greens, tees, fairways, and roughs when adequate signal is available.

• John Deere Section Control (formerly known as Swath Control Pro™ software) is a software activation on the 4640 Universal Display. John Deere Section Control automatically controls the nozzles on a sprayer by allowing individual nozzles to turn off and turn on when required.

• When John Deere Section Control is enabled, it utilizes global positioning system (GPS) information to turn nozzles on and off and reduce overlap in previously applied areas. It also can be used to reference interior and exterior field boundaries. John Deere Section Control automatically controls the nozzles as the ProGator™ GPS PrecisionSprayer passes through defined boundaries.

• John Deere individual nozzle control improves efficiency for the golf and sports turf superintendent. One of the primary benefits of individual nozzle control is reduced product overlap while spraying. Overlap reduction decreases the total amount of product used, saving the golf course money by lowering the input costs.

• Some turf can be easily harmed by excessive chemical or fertilizer applications that negatively impact the plant health. John Deere individual nozzle control reduces overlap to help avoid over-application.
