C.10. Tracking and Work Computer Use (NOT AVALIABLE FOR AUSTRALIA)
Marking the routes to be followed by tractor in subsequent
operations (by not spreading seed during seeding) to ensure
that application rows continue without overlapping at equal
intervals and that the application is distributed on the entire
field uniformly in operations with large working width such as
spraying and fertilizing is named as “tracking” and the
seeding realized with this method is named as “seeding with
tracking”.
Example of Seeding with Tracking - 1
The working width of the grain drills you are using matters
since the routes to be followed during spraying and fertilizing
operations will be marked in tracking. This procedure is based
on the principle of not seeding the areas corresponding to the
wheel tracks. Such tracks that are not seeded become clear
with the germination of the plant. After becoming clear, tractor
exclusively follows those tracks in all spraying and fertilizing
operations to be carried out until harvesting. Tracks serve as
a sort of way.
Unless specifically needed, tracking positions are adjusted to a
tractor track width of 150 and 175 cm. The default track width
left for 1 wheel is 37.5 cm. If this width is not sufficient, you can
request modification in order to leave a track with a width
equals to three hoppers (for a wheel track of 50 cm).
