Developed for Lemken’s Azurit 9 precision drill and Solitair 25 series, the online configurator assists operators in calculating tramlines, as it determines how many rows need to be switched off.
The Azurit uses the DeltaRow method, in which each seed row consists of two staggered sub-rows spaced at 12.5cm. If one of the twin rows is deactivated, the distance between rows increases from 62.5 to 75cm.
At the same time, double the amount of seeds is placed in the other twin row, so that the number of grains/m² remains the same. If the operator deactivates another twin row in the tramline on the other side of the track, the tramline width is increased to 87.5cm, which allows for the use of wider tyres.
Lemken reckons all this is easily planned with the free-of-charge tramline configurator. Suitable for use with all terminals, all the operator needs to do is enter the implement working width, track width and the distance of the plants to the edge of the tyre.
Claimed benefits include reduced risk of driving into tramlines incorrectly during following operations.
