SEED DRILL, OTHER TYPE TEEJET 5000 OPERATORS MANUAL

SEED DRILL ENCODEMENT
This menu allows the operator to encode the various settings that are necessary
for sowing. Each implement has it’s own set of encodements. Encodements such
as speed sensor (and its calibration) have their own values under each implement.
Always check these encodements in the status screen each time you change
implements.
KG LEFT
To see how much seed is left in the hopper, the amount filled into the seed drill
must be encoded here.
NOTE: If there is some seed left in the hopper before refilling, then this amount
must be added to the amount filled thus:
Amount left in hopper + filled amount = Kg. left.
HA LEFT
Encode the size of the field to be sown before work commences. This encodement
is also used to calculate end time.
TRACK NUMBER
Encode the tramline rhythm here.
Example: The working width of the seed drill is = 3 m.
The working width of the fertiliser spreader/sprayer is = 15 m.
Track number = 15/3 = 5.
The tramlining method to be used is also selected here (A & B). The methods are
described in the seed drill operation section.
