The metering slides open or close at different distances to the field border of the headlands when
traveling backwards and forwards.
Driving out of the headland track
u
Open
the metering slides if the following condition is met:
w
The end of the spreading fan on the field [E] is at approx. half of the working width + 4 to 8 m
from the field boundary of the headland.
The tractor is then located at different distances in the field, depending on the spreading width of the
fertilizer.
Driving into the headland track
u
Close the metering slides
as late as possible
.
w
The end of the spreading fan should ideally lie on the field [A] at a distance of approx. 4 to
8 m wider than the working width [X] of the headlands.
w
This cannot always be achieved depending on the spreading distance of the fertilizer and the
working width.
u
Alternatively, you can drive out beyond the headland track or you can create a second headland
track.
Follow these instructions in order to ensure an environmentally friendly and economical working
method.
