We grow corn in 60 inch rows, I can run my eDrive with floaters on. Granted the corn IS planted with RTK. Awesome video, though.

Is the right after the corn has tasseled? Is the ear pollenated? Did the sprayer cause any damage?

Nice Warren. This video never gets old. Glad to see you put it on YouTube. Can't wait to see what else you post.

Did any of the corn break off.

No, the only damage was turning on the headlands. Corn is surprisingly resistant considering it was bent 90 degrees and stood back up again. If you look at my video of the same operation from this year which is longer and of much better quality, that corn did break a bit, maybe 5%, however, in that case, the corn contracted "machine rust". Basically it is a terrible rust brought on by mechanical damage. Try it next year, take some corn and take a good swing at it, it will rust very bad.

Are you driving or is there some form of guidance system?

All me. I have a GPS mapping guidance system, but don't use the guidance for corn. Only for beans and wheat. I do map everything though. Thanks for the comment.

wow what speed are you spraying!

12mph. Only looks so fast because the corn is so close. Normally is 8ft lower. :)
