Abstract: An implement comprising a boom having at least one section, a boom height controller, an actuator in communication with the boom height controller and disposed to adjust a position of the boom, a boom nudge controller in communication with the boom height controller, at least one boom height sensor for measuring a height of the boom in communication with the boom nudge controller, at least one camera in communication with the boom nudge controller. The boom nudge controller compares height measurements from the at least one boom height sensor and the at least one camera and communicates with the boom height controller to adjust the position of the boom to avoid contacting a crop or ground.

Abstract: A sprayer system comprising: a first liquid line; a second liquid line; a liquid storage tank, which is in fluid communication with the first liquid line; an apparatus, which is in fluid communication with the second liquid line; at least one auxiliary tank in fluid communication with the apparatus; wherein the liquid storage tank is in fluid communication with the apparatus; and wherein the first liquid line and the second liquid line are in fluid communication with at least one row. The sprayer system can be used to apply one chemical to an entire field and selectively apply an additional chemical to individual locations in the field.

Abstract: A fluid system includes a fluid control assembly in fluid communication with a fluid source in fluid communication with a fluid supply port and the fluid control assembly is in fluid communication with an actuator via an outlet port. A controller controls at least one supply valve and at least one exhaust valve. The at least one supply valve and exhaust valve are in a normally closed position until being actuated by the controller to an open position. The fluid control assembly includes a pressure sensor in communication with the outlet port. Whereby when pressure in the outlet port is less than a predetermined pressure, a controller opens the supply valve to communicate fluid to the actuator via the actuator line and when the pressure in the outlet port is greater than a predetermined pressure the controller opens the exhaust valve to vent the is outside a predetermined range.
