Tramlining
The preparation of tramlines and setting of the Control Station are described in
”3.32.2 Tramline options” on page 72.
During sowing, the most important thing to remember about tramlining is to shut off
Autostep
before doing anything other than normal sowing or turning in headlands between bouts.
So, remember to switch
Autostep
off before raising the drill to pass an obstruction.
When it is time to refill the seed hopper or take a break, the drill should be raised from the last
furrow, then wait for approx. 10 seconds. Switch off
auto advancing.
There is no need to switch
off
auto advancing
in case no additional lifting is required during the pause. When continuing
drilling, switch on
auto advancing
before the drill is raised the first time.
4.7
Bout markers
Setting of the bout markers using the Control Station is explained in
59.
See also ”
and ”
4.9 Turning with Low lift” on page 88.
Once a reliable setting for the bout markers has been found, it is a good idea to mark this position
using e.g. a centre punch. Check occasionally that the marker tines are securely tightened.
The final tillage operation before sowing should preferably not be done in exactly the same direc-
tion as that intended for sowing, but at a slight angle to it.
4.8
Obstructions
Switch off
Autostep
before the drill is raised to sow around a post, well or other obstacle.
NOTE!
When the drill is raised to clear an obstruction during a bout, the drive wheel will also be
raised, which stops the seed feed. This can occur even with very slight raising of the drill.
The bout marker can be folded in order to bypass an obstruction by engaging the lift stop and mov-
ing the hydraulic lever to the lift position. This will fold in the bout marker while keeping the drill
in the working position. Then fold out the bout marker again. In this case, it is not necessary use
the functions selectors for
auto advancing
nor the bout markers.
4.9
Turning with Low lift
When the drill is lifted out of work at the headland, the drive wheel is raised and the bout marker
is retracted. If
Low lift
is activated, the drill will be raised to Low lift height.
When turning the drill on the headland, the bout markers and tramlining are automatically advance
one step. If the drill does not lift, the
lift stop
has most likely been engaged, and if the bout markers
and tramlining do not advance, then
auto advancing
has most likely been switched off.
When turning in Low lift, the following harrow remains in work during the entire turn.
NOTE!
Before reversing the machine,
Low lift
must be switched off and the drill raised to the full
lift position.
