How Smartsteer works!

Smartsteer uses a tractor mounted sensor to allow the sprayer to follow in the same wheel track as the tractor and significantly reduces the additional wheel tracking effect of the sprayer wheels. This reduces crop damage and promotes good control of yaw movement in the boom. Boom yaw is the enemy of accurate spray application. Booms that yaw backward over-apply chemical, while booms that yaw forward under-apply chemical.

Goldacres Smartsteer system is unique as it corrects the sprayer direction with hub steering at the wheels. There are no sensor linkages at the drawbar.
