6.3.1 Calculation of tramlining
Figure 1.
The Tramline screen is intended for the calculation of tramlining. A suggested calculation can be chosen based on the settings entered. It is also possible to design a specific tramline program.
The background is displayed in a light colour when in display mode. When doing design/changes the screen background changes to a dark colour. This is to help the user identify which mode that is in use.
Values to be entered
Total width of the spraying implement.
Distance between the pair of wheels.
Width of the wheels (safe clearance of the plants can be achieved by entering a higher value here. Example: the wheel width is 500 mm, but additional protection of 50 mm for the plant is desired – so 600 mm should be entered)
Which direction the tractor will turn after the first bout.
Buttons for selecting calculations
Percentage to increase seed rate on neighbouring rows with, refer to 6.3.7 Tramlining compensation.
Calculate based on the information entered.
Facilitates your own, customised tramlining.
To simplify the process of setting up a tramline program, it is advisable to select a suggested tramline as a basis for your own. Please note that such a tramline program will only provide a suggestion, it is important to check the suitability.
The suggested tramline has no upper limit for the number of bouts. The maximum number of bouts that can be generated is 120. If the suggestion is not suitable, it can be adjusted by modifying the wheel width and generating a new tramline. Alternatively, adapt the tramline described below to create your own.
