  • Page 93: Signal Sources

    GreenDrill control terminal 5.2 7.18.4 Signal sources The control terminal shows the forward speed [km/h] and adjusts the seeding shaft speed according to the changing forward speed. The seed rate [kg/ha] remains unchanged even at varying forward speeds. If it is set correctly, speed differences of 50 % are adjusted up or down. When the implement is raised, e.g., when turning at the end of the field, the seeding shaft automatical- ly stops rotating.
