As far as boom sections go, it appears to be plumbed and setup for 4 sections. Before you jump into adding or removing sections, draw out on paper what you already have. It is possible the booms are plumbed in a way that would be acceptable to you.

The reason I mention this is I had a 60' boom in three 20' sections that I decided to change to four 15' sections. I thought "just get an extra valve" and rearrange the plumbing a bit. Believe me it is more involved than you might first expect.

Going from four to six sections might actually be easier and give you more combinations. Many but not all rate controllers can handle 6 sections. A Raven 450 would be a good choice but doesn't provide mapping, auto section shut off etc.

If you have any other add on electronics such as Ag Leader, Deere, CIH etc. there are several choices.

I had this same sprayer in a 60' model and used it with Demco SideQuest tanks. Be certain the 3 point doesn't settle over night. When folded, if it settled certain tips would hit the top of the tanks and break. If I left it unfolded it was fine. I could have made a block for the 3 point (or fixed it) but I didn't.

The reason I like or think I’d like, a 3 section shutoff, is because I’m on 12 row 30” and it works out perfectly for 36 rows. I plant quite abit on raised beds, as well.
