Various ways there are to spread the fertilizer in the field. One of the simplest methods is, as follows:
•
Position the spreader at the beginning of the field you intend to
fertilise, to a distance (D/2) that is the half of the working width
that is used (point 1);
•
Drive in the field, distributing the fertilizer on all the perimeter;
•
Stop the tractor at one distance (D) from the point 1, equivalent
to the set working width (point 2);
•
Begin the spreading by opening the exits and proceeding in line,
straight to point 3.
•
Turn the tractor and drive a D distance, equal to the working
width (point 4);
•
Repeat such procedure until all the plot will be covered.
