can be mounted above the dash of
the tractor.
Performance Trak III is the
deluxe model with the basic radar
speed sensing unit plus a dash -
mounted monitor and controls. It
has capabilities for measuring
wheel slip and, when implement
width is programmed into its
monitor, will provide information
on area covered per hour. This is
particularly useful in determining
the projected time of completion
of a known sized field. Perfor-
mance Trak III can also be pro-
grammed to measure total area
covered, useful for an accurate
measure of field size.
An implement switch is available
as optional equipment for Perfor-
mance Trak III. This switch will
tell the monitor when the imple-
ment is in the ground working
position and when it is raised at
headlands for turning, adding fur-
ther accuracy for area covered per
hour and total area covered
readings. The implement switch
may be installed on either the trac-
tor rockshaft, for 3 -point hitch
mounted equipment, or on the im-
plement itself if the equipment is
attached to the drawbar.
The wheel slip monitoring
capability of the Performance
Trak III monitor can tell the
operator how efficiently his tractor
is operating and whether ballast
should be added or removed. This
permits adjustment for maximum
fuel efficiency which, when com-
bined with the savings achieved by
eliminating the higher -than -needed
application of chemicals in those
uses, will contribute to rapidly sav-
ing the cost of the Performance
Trak system.
