7. Sugar beets- calmp maintenance
Arrangement of the clamp
Beets should be provided in removable and uniform stacks (no hilly profiles).
Place haystack on flat and passable surface with no furrows directly to the stack.
Clamp maintenance right after digging but before cultivation or ploughing.
For fleece attachment, it is best if the clamp is accessible with the tractor.
Adjust fleece length to that of clamp.
Covering of the clamp:
Stop at the clamp and park the trailer. Set up warning signs if possible.
Insert winding spindle into the tube and lock it. Take the fleece roll out of the trailer and roll the
fleece on the clamp. When driving with the tube, pay attention to the lines (telephone, power lines,
etc.). Driving with a tube on public roads is prohibited. When working with the boom, no one should
stay in the danger zone (20m).
Drag the unrolled fleece on both sides of the haystack up to its base. (Work of the second person).
Allow for fleece overlap upon long haystacks requiring more than one fleece elements.
