For full yield potential

Adjusting the telescopic axle to suit

Compaction of the soil can reduce the yield in a field, especially when driving over the seed rows.

In order to minimise the impact of driving the Precea-TCC on the soil, the implement's tracks can be directed between the seed rows using the telescopic axle. This prevents compaction within the seed row immediately before sowing and the yield potential is retained.

Tramline offset

Wheelings in the field inevitably reduce the actual growing area for the crop. Although switching off the rows in the wheel marks saves on inputs such as seed and fertiliser, it reduces the seed rate and thus the natural yield potential of the field. It is better to create offset tramlines. The units in the affected rows are displaced hydraulically. This prevents the rows from being switched off and ensures that the seed rate remains the same. Crop care machinery can drive through the crop without damaging the plants.

With symmetrical tramlines, the relevant sowing units are moved simultaneously and the two tyre tracks of the tramline are created in just a single pass. In the case of asymmetrical tramlines, only one tyre track is created per pass by shifting the relevant sowing unit, and the tramline is completed in the second pass. The maximum offset distance of a unit is 400 mm. The offset travel can also be reduced if the entire width is not required due to track width or tyre size.
 

The advantages of the hydraulic tramline offset

• Optimum yield potential since the seed rows do not need to be switched off, they are just offset
• Relief for the driver by automatic detection and adaption to make the tramline
• Lack of plant damage during subsequent working in the crop, as a result of the existing tramline
• Optimum fertiliser supply since the fertiliser coulter and the singling unit are displaced together
