It rides pretty good with the big tires and being spread out wide on 144" centers. I travel about 8 to 9 mph while spraying so I'm not setting any speed records, but I can still get between 70 and 80 acres per hour. The raise and lower on the boom is plumbed into the feederhouse raise/lower circuit which had an accumulator. I opened the valve on the accumulator about 1/4 turn so when I hit a pivot track or a bump, the boom "floats" to absorb the shock. Better to be lucky than good sometimes.
