Electric or mechanical half-side shut-off on the FTender

The half-side shut-off for the folding 5 and 6 m machines can be remotely controlled electrically from the tractor cab or carried out mechanically directly on the FTender mounted front hopper. The feed into one of the two segmented distributor heads can be prevented via a flap directly below the metering unit, so that half-side shut-off can be implemented.  

The electric half-side shut-off helps to reduce excess sowing on the headland or at the edge of the field and can also save seed. Half-side shut-off enables the machine to be comfortably switched off via the terminal in wedge shaped fields or steeply angled headlands. Additionally, via GPS, automated switching of half the working width is possible.
