12 TRAMLINE MECHANISM

12.1 General Instructions

The tramline mechanism allows for tramlines to be laid out at set distances
by not seeding the rows which are within the track, of the following tractor
used for spraying and fertilising.
The sequence of the recurring tramline outlets is determined by the working
width of the seed drill and the subsequent machinery, such as sprayer and
fertiliser spreader.
According to the rhythm, 2 seed wheels are normally switched off for the tram-
line on both sides, in exceptional cases 3 or more. The tramline width de-
pends on the track width of the tractor used for spraying or fertilising.
The tramline mechanism will be controlled and operated by sensors and a lift
magnet.
The sensors as well as the lift magnet are provided with light-emitting-diodes.
So they can be checked easily with regard to function and adjustment.
The sensors can be checked by means of a metallic thing, which will be hold
in a distance of 1 to 3 mm at the sensor. Does the light-emitting-diode not li-
ght, either the power supply is interrupted or the sensor is defect. The sensor
of the lift magnet lights, when it is supplied with power.
Further information can be learned from the instruction book of the used seed
drill control.
