APPLICATION CONTROL
The Industry’s Most Advanced Application Control
Manage your fertilizer, pesticide and seed applications with the most advanced
control system available. The Legacy
6000, coupled with the Dual Control
Module (DCM), can be tasked with
all types of product application,
from single-product applications
to multiple-product variable-rate
applications. Up to six products can
be applied simultaneously, each at a
fixed application rate or based on a
variable-rate prescription. And every
application is recorded so you know
what you applied and where it went.
Legacy 6000 as
a Task Controller
Legacy 6000 can be connected to most
popular application rate controls from
many different manufacturers. This
setup allows you to add the benefits of
variable-rate applications and as-applied
record keeping while taking advantage
of an existing application control system.
Connect the Legacy 6000 to your existing
console with a serial cable and upgrade
your capabilities immediately.
Automatic Boom
Section Control
Take advantage of Swath Manager
automatic boom section control. When
connected to a GPS receiver, the Legacy
6000 maintains a record of where it has
applied product within any particular job
or field. Based on this information, the
Legacy 6000 can automatically switch off
boom, spreader or seeder sections when
they enter a previously applied area.
Swath Manager gives quick payback in
reduced fertilizer and chemical usage.
Direct Injection
The ultimate in chemical
application accuracy and
convenience is possible with
the Legacy 6000 system. Direct
Injection stores concentrated
chemicals in special tanks, and
injects them into the carrier as
required for the application.
The solution is mixed on its way
to the boom and applied as
normal. Direct Injection means
your carrier tank stays clean and
chemical-free, and any unused
chemical can be easily returned
to its container for future use.
Both peristaltic and piston
injection pumps are available.
DATA AND MAPPING
Complete Real-Time Field Mapping
View your
position in the
field in real-time
and record your
work as it takes
place. Map field
boundaries and
get instant area
measurements.
Boundaries
can be saved
and used in future applications. Field features and
hazards can also be mapped and saved for future
reference. All application records made with a GPS
receiver attached show the specific application rate
of each product at each location in your field.
Application Reports
The data collected during your application can quickly
and easily be converted to a printed application
report. This report shows all application data,
including weather
and field conditions.
The report even
includes a map of
your application.
