Abstract
An agricultural spraying machine which is supported on the ground and is movable in a forward direction over a field, the agricultural spraying machine comprising: a chassis; a sprayer linkage, the sprayer linkage configured with a middle segment movably supported on the chassis; a pair of booms arranged on respectively one side of the middle segment and which are pivotable by respectively at least one actuator in relation to the middle segment about an axis extending in the forward direction; a control device configured to receive a signal from at least one sensor associated with the pair of booms and generate a control signal, the control device receiving the signal from the at least one sensor as an input variable and wherein the control device receives the signals provided by the at least one sensor in respect of the relative position of the pair of booms in relation to a field contour; and wherein an adjustment of the at least one actuator occurs using control signals from the control device, the control signals being respectively dependent on the input variables and configured to drive the actuator on with a view to maintaining the positions of the booms in a desired position above the field contour wherein due to the mechanical coupling of the pair of booms by the middle segment, also results in a movement of other respective booms.
