Abstract: An agricultural applicator includes a chassis supported on a ground surface and an applicator boom controllably movable with respect to the chassis about a pivot axis defined in a driving direction or suspended in a height-adjustable manner. An electronic control unit receives a sensor value regarding a current driving status of the chassis, and a dampening element is controlled by the electronic control unit based on the sensor value to dampen the movement of the applicator boom. The electronic control unit is programmed to calculate an expected driving status of the applicator based on the sensor value and variable physical parameters of the applicator, and to output a control signal to the dampening element based on an expected driving status of the applicator. The electronic control unit operably controls the dampening element to adjust dampening based upon a minimization of undesired movements of the applicator boom.
