Activities before spreading
141
Testing the spreading
pattern of the hydraulic
border spreading plate
Always perform a calibration test first and determine the correct
dosing setting before checking the spreading pattern. Changing the
dosing setting also influences the spreading pattern.
See section »Manual calibration test« on page 123.
When using the border spreading plate the aim is to obtain maximum
distribution to the border with minimum loss in the ditch.
This is why the border spreading plate should be tested. Do not
perform this test next to the ditch, but mark a line behind which the
notional ditch is.
Operation
Switch the tractor off, remove the key from the ignition and engage
the parking brake of the tractor.
Disconnect the right or left spreading disc by sliding the connector
to the right or left. Secure the connector with a lock clip.
Close the dosing unit of the right or left spreading disc by setting
the dosing knob to 0+0.
Indication
Check that the vanes do not touch the border spreading plate!
Set the spreader in accordance with the spreading chart for the
desired working width and the instructions given in the “One-sided
boundary spreading" chapter
(height of the spreading disc = 75
cm above the troughs)
.
Place 1 trough in the middle of the tractor tracks. The centre of the
driving track must be 2 metres from the line behind which the
notional ditch is located.
Indication
Position the troughs horizontally with a spirit level!
