POSITIONING APPARATUS FOR AN AGRICULTURAL DISTRIBUTION MACHINE

An agricultural distribution machine, such as a field sprayer or a pneumatic fertilizer spreader is described. The agricultural distribution machine includes a carrier vehicle and a distributor boom for spreading material, such as a fertilizer, a plant protection agent, or seed. The boom is indirectly or directly arranged on the carrier vehicle so as to be movable at least about a pivot axis running in the direction of travel. The boom has segments which are pivotable relative to one another about upright axes and/or in a plane arranged perpendicular to the direction of travel of the agricultural distribution machine. The boom includes an acceleration-compensated inclinometer apparatus for determining a rotational position of the distributor boom.
