With the RDA 500 S it is possible to produce tramlines spaced at 10, 15, 20, 25 m etc. With the
RDA 600 S, tramlines can be produced at 12, 18, 24, 30 m etc and with the RDA 800 S, at 16, 24,
32 m etc.
Tramlines are always symmetrical about the mid-point of the drill. The drill is supplied having
two or three row shutoff. If one row shutoff is required, it can be achieved by changing the flap
springs for the outlets which are not required to tramline, see
”3.21.2 Adjusting row shutoff” on
page 63.
For control or alteration of the track width, see
”3.21.1 Adjusting track width” on page

The various tramlining widths are set using the Control Station. The selected tramlining pro-
gramme is shown at the lower left of the display, while the current furrow in the sequence is shown
at the lower right part.
