Bout number Track number
The bout number is the present bout being driven in the field (counts 1 each time
the drill is lifted). The track number is what has been encoded (see “ENCODE”).
The TeeJet 5000 has 2 different methods of controlling the tramlines (A and B).
The method is selected under “ENCODE”:
METHOD A
This method is a new and logical method of making tramlines.
If the tramlines are to be made on uneven bouts (3,5,7, or 9) then the tramlines will
always be made in the middle bout. Two clutches are fitted to the middle of the
drill. See the drawing for METHOD A UNEVEN.
If the tramlines are to be made on even bouts (2,4,6, or 8), then the tramlines are

only 1 clutch fitted on one side of the seed drill. See the drawing for METHOD A
EVEN.
The tramlines are displayed for this method thus:
