C. Width of the wheels (safe clearance of plants can be
achieved by entering a higher value here). Example:
The wheel width is 500 mm, but additional
protection of 50 mm for the plant is desired – so
600 mm should be entered).
D. Also indicate which direction the tractor will turn
after the first bout.
Buttons for selecting calculations
E. The calculation is based on the information entered.
F. Facilitates your own, customised tramlining.
To simplify the process of setting up a tramline
program, it is advisable to select a sample
tramline as a basis for your own one. But please
note that such a tramline program will only
come up with a suggestion, and it is important
that you check its suitability.
The suggested tramline has no upper limit for
the number of bouts. The maximum number of
bouts that can be generated is 120. If the
suggestion is not suitable, it can be adjusted by
modifying the wheel width and generating a new
tramline. Alternatively, adapt the tramline
described below to create your own.

Calculated tramline
Figure 6.5
The screen above shows a suggested tramline based on
the information entered:
A. Total number of bouts in the tramline program
B. Overlap for the spraying implement
C. Bouts for the drill
D. Bouts for the spraying implement
The yellow dotted lines (C) show the row units that will
be sowing and the white solid lines show the row units
that will be shut off due to the tramlining.
The example in the above illustration shows that row
units 3 and 6 will be shut down because of the tramline in
bout number 2 in the tramline program.
You can scroll left and right in order to see the entire
calculated sequence.
Figure 6.6
A. Indicates the overlap made by the spraying
implement between each bout.
The overlap occurs if the working widths of the drill and
the spraying implement do not run equally.
