6.5.3.4 Calculation of tramlining
Figure 1.
This screen is intended for calculation of tramlining. A suggested calculation can be selected based on the settings entered. Maximum number of bouts is 150.
The following values need to be entered:
Total width of the spraying implement (cm)
Distance between the set of wheels (cm)
Wheel width (cm). Safe clearance of plants can be achieved by entering a higher value here. Example: The wheel width is 50 cm, but additional protection of 5 cm for the plant is desired – so 60 cm should be entered.
Also indicate which direction the tractor will turn after the first bout.
Save. The tramlining program (tramline pattern) is saved.
Note that the tramlining program will only display a suggestion, and it is important that you check its suitability.
The suggested tramline has no upper limit for the number of bouts. The maximum number of bouts that can be generated is 150. If the suggestion is not suitable, it can be adjusted by changing the wheel width and generating a new tramline.
