  • Page 66: Setting Normal Fertilising/Late Top Dressing

    Adjustments The mounting heights specified here in cm—usually horizontal 80/80—apply for normal fertilising. For spring fertilising, if the plants have already grown to a height of 10-40 cm, one-half of the growth height should be added to the speci- fied mounting height (e.g. 80/80). Therefore, for a growth height of 30 cm, set a mounting height of 95/95.

  • Page 67: Setting The Spread Rate

    Adjustments Mounting height for late top dressing: Using the tractor's three-point linkage, set the mounting height of the spreader so that the distance between the grain tips and the spread- ing discs is approx. 5 cm (Fig. 36).
