Moreover, it is possible to shut 2 of the 3 dosing openings so that the application rate can also be set precisely with a low flowrate, while the risk of block- ages remains limited.
  • Page 25 Getting familiar with the machine Width distribution with The spreading pattern is determined by the transverse distribu- GEOSPREAD tion. The discharge point is the place where the fertiliser granules come into touch with the vanes of the spreading disc and substantially de- termines width distribution.

    Getting familiar with the machine Spreading pattern Optimum distribution of the fertiliser with minimum impact on the envi- ronment can be achieved through the settings and tools described. Full field spreading pattern The full field spreading pattern overlaps 100% A triangular spreading pattern that completely overlaps can be ex- pected with most fertiliser types with an average working width.
  • Page 28 Getting familiar with the machine One-sided boundary You can drive along the field edge with a half spreading pattern filled spreading with border to 100% with the border spreading plate and one closed dosing unit. You have to optimise the spreading pattern and thereby overcome en- spreading plate vironmental pollution when adjusting the border spreading plate.
  • Page 29 Getting familiar with the machine Boundary track spreading It is possible to spread right up to the border (boundary track spread- with ExactLine ing) from the first sprayer tramline with ExactLine.

  • Page 31: The Iso Control System

    Getting familiar with the machine The ISO control The ISO control system uses the ISOBUS communication protocol, which makes it suitable for tractors that are also equipped with an ISO- system BUS communication system. For tractors that still do not have an ISO- BUS connection, your dealer can supply the universal IsoMatch terminal to which you can connect all ISOBUS machines.
  • Page 32 Getting familiar with the machine The computer calculates the required fertiliser flowrate with the follow- ing formula: Working width (m) x Driving speed (km/h) x Application rate (kg/ha) Flowrate required = (kg/min) Automatic Calibration test With the data from the spreading chart book and the automatic cali- bration tests that the spreader carries out every 75 kg or every minute, the computer determines what dosing setting corresponds with what flowrate.
