Using tramline control
The job computer can help you in creating tramlines for the tyres of other vehicles such as sprayers.
A tramline is created by closing the seed tubes to the seeding coulters. This creates an area behind
the implement where there is no seeding.
When the tramline control is activated, the tracks are counted to create the tramlines for the defined
tracks. The tracks are counted as soon as the implement is lifted out of the soil.
