Track markers
The hydraulically actuated track markers alter-
nately mark the soil on the right and left hand
side of the machine. The track marker lowered
into work creates a trace as guidance for the
tractor operator for correctly driving the next bout
when turning at the headlands. After having
turned the tractor operator drives centrally over
the trace.
AMATRON 3:
Lifting the star wheel automatically starts the
switching over procedure for the track markers.

Get the track marker arms into
transport position (Fig. 35/1) before
folding in the machine.

For passing obstacles the track marker lowered
into work can be folded in and out in the field. In
case the track marker still hits an obstacle the
shear bolt shears off protecting the track marker
from damage.

When having passed the obstacle the tractor
operator lowers the track marker again by actuat-
ing the tractor control valve.
