On our old Kinze there was a setting to allow the front rank of clutched row units to shut off at a different time than the rear units. This was with clutches though, and it would have to "know" there were interplant units, and be given a distance from hitch and lateral offset. On the Kinze I had two Rawson drives, with switch 9 assigned to one drive, and switch 10 the other. That way I could stop a drive from spinning altogether if I wanted to.
The ability to have the front rank clutches shut off at a different time than the rear rank surprises me. Although this certainly seems reasonable and desirable, I did not think that it worked that way.
I don't remember working on a Kinze but the interplant setups that I remember were always setup so that the interplant rows were mated with the "regular" row beside them. They cycled ON/OFF together. That brings up the issue of the hitch length. The usual advice was to split the difference between the front and rear ranks. |
