AutoTS – The disc-integrated border spreading system
AutoTS – adjustment of the carrier vane for border spreading
The disc-integrated AutoTS border spreading system, enables the comfortable activation of the different border spreading techniques – side, border or watercourse spreading – via the terminal in the tractor cab irrespective of the side.
The ingenious operating principle of AutoTS
A setting motor twists the carrier vane forwards by approximately 10 °, so that the fertiliser is delivered via the shorter border spreading vanes when border or watercourse spreading. Due to the combination of disc speed and a shorter vane, the fertiliser is thrown over a significant shorter distance without affecting it mechanically.
Effective and precise – spread only where the fertiliser will benefit plants
- Working width 2) Half working width
Side spreading (yield-oriented setting)
The adjacent field is an area which is used agriculturally. In this case it is tolerable for a small quantity of fertiliser to be thrown over the field boundary. The full target rate is applied right up to the field boundary.
- Working width 2) Half working width
Border spreading (environmentally oriented setting)
If the field is next to a road or a cycle path, no fertiliser may be thrown beyond the field boundary. In this case, the throwing distance is adjusted in combination with the shutter slide.
- Working width 2) Half working width
Water course spreading (environmentally oriented setting)
If there is a body of water directly at the edge of the field, a defined distance to the water must be maintained when fertilising according to the fertiliser regulations. For this purpose, the throwing distance is further reduced in combination with the shutter slide.
