STR 300S 3. Track eradicator If the machine is equipped with CrossBoard and a track eradicator there will be two control plates by the arm attachments. When the relationship between CB and SD has been changed, the track eradicators must also be changed in or- der to achieve the correct angle of attack.

STR 300S Basic Settings Sequence control With the sequence control active the whole seed drill does not need to be up on the headland before lifting and when it is lowered the front tool will be lowered first, followed by the seed coulter. Option to deactivate seed coulters and front tool so that they stop upon lowering.

STR 300S Attachment 1. Sowing seed The following should be considered when setting the drilling depth: • Soil type? • Moisture? • Plant residues that could cause resistance? • Quality of seedbed? There are three settings that together affect the drilling depth: 1.
STR 300S Attachment 2 Updating Ipad Info on how to start up E-Control for the first time is available in the instruction manual. Before the season Connect the iPad to the Internet and select the E-Control app. Select Search for updates. If there are any available updates, these will be downloaded.
