If spraying a hilly field or working late into the evening, boom height can easily fluctuate — reducing coverage and upping drift risk. That’s why the RiteHeight system from Greentronics caught our attention.
🚜 What It Does
RiteHeight uses rugged ultrasonic sonar sensors mounted near the boom tips to continuously measure and maintain the correct spray height off the ground or crop canopy, eliminating manual adjustments and reducing operator strain in uneven terrain.
Operators can choose between three modes — Bare Ground, Partial Canopy, and Full Canopy — depending on crop stage and surface conditions.
🔧 Farmer-Friendly Installation & Use
- Available in kits with 2 to 8 sensors depending on boom width and field conditions.
- Plugs into existing electric-over-hydraulic controls—no extra hydraulics required.
- Includes a self-calibration routine and intuitive menu interface, making setup fast and accurate—even after rough terrain and different spray targets are set.
💬 From the Field
“The booms simply follow the contours in the field. Offers great basic functionality. After a while you wonder how you got along without it.”
— John Vandenberghe, PEI (quoted on Greentronics site)
💲 Why It Pays Off
- Consistent spray height = better coverage and less waste, especially important when every drop matters.
- Less operator fatigue during long days — especially at dusk or night.
- Customers say more than 75% install as DIY thanks to the simple wiring and plug-and-play design.
👨🌾 Who It’s In For
For custom applicators and crop farmers alike, RiteHeight offers a cost-effective upgrade with real-world precision gains, minimal hassle, and fast return on investment.
