Ground Wheel Drive Arrangement
Figure 42
Measure the loaded radius from the center of the hub to
the bottom of the tire where it rests on the ground
[Figure
42] .
Press Wheel Drive Arrangement
Measure the loaded radius from the center of the press
wheel shaft to where the wheel rests against the tire.
NOTE: The press wheel must be engaged for normal
operation to give an accurate reading.
Swath Width
Figure 43
To determine the swath width, count the number of
outlets and multiply by the distance (inches) between any
two outlets, nozzles, or shanks. This assumes that all
outlets are equally spaced. If the outlets are not evenly
spaced, figure the entire length of the boom or toolbar
from end nozzle to end nozzle and allow for coverage
beyond the ends (Item 1)
[Figure 43] .
Example: an 11 row boom at 30 inch spacing, would
have a swath width of 330 inches.
The measurement for the loaded radius must be
from the Manufacturer of the tire or be measured
under loaded conditions. The loaded radius tire is
always the tire that has the first drive sprocket
attached to its hub.
