Case IH introduced new AIM Command FLEX advanced spray technology to help producers with more accurate applications.

AIM Command FLEX uses pulse width modulation to enhance sprayer productivity by controlling product flow and pressure more precisely than conventional rate controllers.

Other AIM Command FLEX features include:

  • The ability to preset spray rates up to 30 per cent higher than the target rate on up to eight nozzles.
  • 36 separate boom sections give producers more precise control across the boom and throughout the field.
  • Speed ranges of 8:1 versus 2:1 can help producers maintain consistent application rates over a variety of speeds.

It can also control drift on demand by allowing the operator to preset two spray pressures and toggle between them while spraying.

“For example, one of the settings could deliver the target pressure for the desired droplet size, and the second setting could produce lower pressure for selective drift control in sensitive areas,” Case said in a release. “Or operators could select a higher pressure for the second setting to achieve greater canopy penetration when needed.”

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
