WC Iowa
Ouch 75k for exactapply is getting a little crazy. Believe it was 45 not much over a year ago. If you don't have many waterways to cross you won't see much of a production increase. When I went from 100ft to 120ft booms I could visually see a decrease in weed control when I went around sharp curves. Turn compensation became a need not a want. Some of my production increases come from being able to spray faster while maintaining the psi I want as well as being able to control my drift better on a windy day which seems like blows all the time in Iowa. Nice to be able to boost the outer 10ft around boarders for enhanced weed control.

As for the auto solution control. I like the tank volume readout when filling. I tend to fill in field drives that are not flat and the sight tube isn't anywhere close to accurate. If you spray liquid fertilizer the sight tubes are useless as well. If I was always filling flat I don't know if it's worth the extra 6 or 5k either. Also would have autorinse, nice to press a button at the end of every day.
