TEEJET 5000 OPERATORS MANUAL SEED DRILL, OTHER TYPE
5.5
METHOD B
This method is older and better known. Tramlines are made when the present bout
is the same as the track number. The operator must know how the field has been
started.
If tramlining is required in on uneven bouts (3,5,7, or 9) the system works well.
Tramlines are made, using 2 clutches fitted in the middle of the seed drill, when
the present bout number is the same as the encoded track number. See the
drawing METHOD B UNEVEN.
If the tramlines are to be made on even bouts (2,4,6, or 8), then the operator must
drive around the field with only one half of the seed drill open. This is necessary,
as the tramlines cannot be split over 2 bouts. The clutches are fitted in the middle
of the seed drill, and the tramlines are made in one bout. See the drawing
METHOD B EVEN.
FORWARD SPEED
The forward speed is displayed in kilometres per hour with 1 decimal. The forward
speed is calculated from signals received from the sensor selected under
“ENCODE” (wheel tractor or radar).
