Saginaw Michigan
Been doing it for years with ground driven piston pumps, just use 2 electric ball valves(flow regulating valves) in the system, one going to the boom, and one in line going back to the tank, wire them opposite each other, so when one opens the other will close. then for your boom valves, use a 3 way valve, so that when they close they are actually opening the line back to the tank. That way when the insight tells it to turn off a section, the pump can keep pumping constant and product will just go back to the tank instead of blowing a line.
one tip, make sure to cycle the regulator valves once a day to keep them in sync. run the rate all the way up, then all the way down holding it for a bit, so one goes full open while the other goes full close.. doing this will prevent line rupturing from them getting out aof sync, i know from experience.
