To be done before spreading
95
Place 1 trough on the land next to the fictive border ditch and 1
trough next to each other in the fictive ditch.
I
NDICATION
:
Position the troughs horizontally with a spirit level!
Place 1 trough in the middle of the tractor tracks. The driving track
must be half a working width from the fictive ditch. Divide the
additional buckets between the track and the fictive ditch.
Start the tractor and engage the control box.
Close all the doors and windows in the cabin.
Engage the PTO shaft and set the RPM of the spreading discs as
per the spreading chart or based on the table in
paragraph »Boundary track spreading with the ExactLine« on
page 115.
If you want, you can choose to accelerate so that you are driving at
the same speed as during full field spreading.
Switch the automatic calibration off by pressing the manual/auto
key in the main screen. A hand will begin to flash in the screen on
the right below the spreader.
Drive along the tracks and open the dosing units a few ft. before
you drive over the first bucket in the middle by pressing the start
key.
Only stop spreading after you have driven at least one working
width over the troughs (e.g. 59 or 79 ft). This is because the
spreader distributes roughly even to the back, front and to the side.
Close the left dosing units by pressing the stop key.
If you set an application rate of less than 222 lbs acre, drive over
the same tracks in order to collect sufficient fertilizer in the troughs
for a good comparison.
Maintain the same distance with opening and closing the dosing units.
Keep to the same driving speed and PTO shaft rpm!
Empty the troughs with a funnel into the graduated tubes.
