A professional spot spraying system for a field sprayer is not bought off the shelf. It is specified for your machine and your fields. In BBLeap’s case, the route on bbleap.com runs through its online configurator, its Pricing Structure page and direct contact with the BBLeap team. This article explains what you actually buy, what to know about your own sprayer before you enquire, and which steps lead from enquiry to a fitted system. Read the overview article about where you can buy a spot spraying system.
Is this the same as a tank spot sprayer from a webshop?
No. Many search results for “spot sprayer” show small tank sprayers, such as knapsack, ATV or hand-held units, where the operator chooses where to spray. This article is not about that consumer category. It covers professional systems that are added to a tractor-mounted, trailed or self-propelled field sprayer. These systems control the boom so that product is applied only where a task map or detection system indicates it is needed.
So you are not buying a separate sprayer. You are buying control technology for the sprayer you already use or plan to buy.
What does a professional spot spraying system consist of?
A map-based spot spraying setup generally has three parts:
- Field data: a task map that shows where treatment is needed, for example weeds, bare patches or specific crop areas. These maps are often created from drone or satellite images.
- Software: a platform that processes the task map and prepares it for the sprayer.
- Sprayer control hardware: a controller on the sprayer that switches nozzles on and off according to the map while you drive.
BBLeap’s website lists four products: LeapBox, LeapSpace, LeapMap and LeapEye. Its Hi-Res Spot Spraying page names LeapBox (the spraying system that controls application in real time) and LeapSpace (which processes high-resolution task maps from drones or satellites) as the main components for spot spraying. On its page for sprayer manufacturers, BBLeap describes nozzle-level control and task map execution at a 25×25 cm resolution. Ask BBLeap to confirm exactly which components your use case needs.

What should I know about my own sprayer before I enquire?
A retrofit system has to match your machine. BBLeap states on its field-test page that it is compatible with every type and kind of field sprayer. Even so, your exact machine details shape the configuration, so have them ready before you make contact.
| What to gather | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Sprayer brand, model and year | Identifies the machine the system will be fitted to, or the new machine you are planning. |
| Boom width and nozzle spacing | Determines how many nozzles or sections need to be controlled and how finely the system can follow a map. |
| Nozzle configuration and valves | Spot spraying depends on switching individual nozzles or small sections, so the current nozzle and valve setup is central to the specification. |
| Current control system and terminal | Shows what the new system has to work with or replace in the cab. |
| Main use case | For example, specific weeds in an arable crop. The goal affects which data and functions you need. |
| Source of task maps | Drone, satellite or another provider. BBLeap lists data providers among its partners. |
Which steps lead from enquiry to a fitted system?
Step 1: Explore the options online
BBLeap’s website has a Pricing & Tools section with a Pricing Structure page and an online configurator. Use these to see which solutions match your goals before you talk to anyone.
Step 2: Optionally check your current spray quality
On its field-test page, BBLeap offers a free test package with guidelines and water-sensitive paper, so you can check in the field how your current sprayer performs. This is optional, but it gives you a useful starting point for the conversation.
Step 3: Contact BBLeap with your sprayer details
Use the BBLeap contact page and share the details from the table above. The more complete your information, the easier it is to discuss a specific configuration.
Step 4: Agree the specification and quotation
Together with BBLeap, confirm which components your sprayer and use case need, and how task maps will be created and loaded. Ask for the price, delivery time and payment terms in writing. The reviewed sources do not state these, so do not rely on general figures.
Step 5: Fitting and setup
Before ordering, ask who will fit the system to your sprayer, how long fitting takes, what calibration and training are included and which support is available afterwards. BBLeap mentions online diagnostic tools for remote support on its manufacturer page, but confirm what applies to your purchase. For the practical side of getting started, see how to set up a spot spraying system.
Which questions should I ask before I sign?
- Which components do I need for my sprayer and use case?
- What is the total price, and what is included?
- What is the expected delivery and fitting time?
- Who does the fitting and calibration, and is training included?
- Which warranty and support terms apply?
- Which task map sources and file formats can I use?
Conclusion
Buying a professional spot spraying system means specifying control technology for your field sprayer, not ordering a small tank sprayer. Start with BBLeap’s configurator and Pricing Structure page, gather your sprayer’s boom, nozzle and control details, and contact BBLeap to agree the configuration. Confirm price, delivery, fitting, warranty and support in your quotation before you order.
