Recommendation for working in headlands
Correctly laid tramlines correctly is the prerequi-
site for accurate work at field boundaries or edg-
es. The first tramline (Fig. 45/T1) is generally
placed at half the distance between the tramline
to the edge of the field. A tramline of this type is
laid in the same fashion in the headlands.
On account of spreading towards the rear, for
accurate distribution on headlands the fol-
lowing must be noted:
Open and close the sliders for forward (tramlines
T1, T2, etc.) and return trips (tramlines T3, etc.)
at different distances to the field edge.
•
Open the slide gate after entering the tram-
line at point P1 (Fig. 46), when the spreader
discs are at distance X from the tramline of
the headland.
ο
X = 1 working width
with working widths > 18m.
ο
X = 1.5 working widths
with working widths < 18m.
•
Close the slide gate before leaving the
tramline at point P2 (Fig. 46), when the
spreader discs are located at the level of
the first tramline of the headland

Using the method just described pre-
vents fertiliser loss and over or under-
fertilising and thus is an environmen-
tally friendly way of working.
