We have a single head Enviromist mounted to our small John Deere tractor that we have used for several years with no issues at all. The keys are how high you allow your weeds to get before application and how high you have to hold the shield above the ground. The higher the shield above ground, the greater likelihood of drift.

However, I have read in some apple publications that the small droplets made by CDA applicators are inherently prone to drift. Does anyone have any clarifying information or experience with this equipment?
