The system is arranged with a fixed transom and rotating transom wherein the rotating transom has a pivot point positioned below both fixed and rotating transoms. The system is provided with a plurality of rotors and tracks to allow the pivot point to be positioned lower than that of prior art systems to allow the boom assembly to more accurately track the contours of row crops in undulating landscapes.
