Setting up one implement with different settings

Written by Cheryl Evans

It is possible to set up an implement with different settings, eg you may wish to record that the sprayer application rates can be 100l/ha and 200l/ha.

To enable the the recording of implements click Tools/Options then within ‘Business’ select ‘Field Jobs’ and tick the ‘Record implements used for Planning and Recording jobs’ box.

To add an implement click Setup/Implements and Settings, then ‘Add Implement’. Select the correct category, type the implement name, and select the correct Sub-category. Click ‘Add Setting’ and enter a name eg 100l/ha. Repeat to enter additional settings.

If you wish a cost to be incurred whenever this setting is selected, tick the ‘Use machinery cost’ box and select the desired cost from the list.

To enter a sprayer capacity and application rate tick the ‘Use capacities’ and the ‘Apply as tank mix’ boxes. Enter the ‘Primary capacity’ (and ‘Secondary capacity’ for a twin tank sprayer) and the planned application rate in the ‘Tank mix volume rate / ha’ box. Select the ‘Spray quality’ and ‘LERAP star rating’ from the list.

When an implement setting is used in a plan it will be displayed in the operator instructions.
