Markers
The hydraulically-actuated track markers dig into
the ground alternately on the left and the right of
the machine.
In so doing, the active track marker creates a
mark. This mark serves as an orientation aid for
the next run after turning.
On the next run, the tractor driver drives over the
centre of the mark.

It is possible to set:
•
The length of the track marker
•
The working intensity of the track marker,
depending on the type of soil.

To pass obstacles the active track marker can be folded in and out on
the field.
Before folding in the track marker, actuate the obstacle button (AMA-
TRON 3) so that the tramline counter of the sowing wheel tramline
control does not shift on or the automatic process is not initiated before
the turning procedure.
If the track marker still encounters hard obstacles, the overload protec-
tion system of the hydraulic system responds and the hydraulic cylin-
der gives way to the obstacle and thus protects the track marker
against damage.
After passing the obstacle the tractor driver folds the track marker out
again by actuating the control unit.
Deactivate the obstacle button after the obstacle has been passed.
