Activities before spreading
146
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
section »Boundary track spreading with the TrimFlow« on page
168.
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 metres
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. 18 or 24 metres). The spreader in
particular distributes approximately as far to the rear and side.
Close the left dosing units by pressing the stop key.
If you set an application rate of less than 250 kg/ha, drive over the
same tracks in order to collect sufficient fertiliser in the troughs for
a good comparison.
Maintain the same distance when 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.
