Tramline control

The tramline control enables tramlines to be created at certain distances from

each other by not seeding the rows in the track of the following tractor for spray-

ing/fertilising.

The sequence of the recurring tramline ducts depends on the working width of the

seed drill and following implements (e.g. sprayer/fertiliser).

As a rule, 2 seed wheels are switched off on both sides to create tramlines in the

required rhythm. In exceptional cases, 3 or more are switched off. The width of

tramlines depends on the track width of the tractor used for spraying or fertilising.

The tramline control mechanism is monitored and actuated by means of sensors

and a lifting magnet.

Both the sensors and the lifting magnet are fitted with LEDs. This means that you

can easily check to see if they are working properly and set correctly.

You can check the sensors by holding a metal object about 1-3 mm away from

them. If the LED does not light up, either the power supply isn't working or the

sensor is faulty. The lifting magnet sensor lights up if it is supplied with power.

For more information, see the operating instructions for the electronic seed drill

control system.
