calculated using the following equitation:<br />

where d is the average intra-row distance between plants and Tmin the time in<br />

which one full rotation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>system</strong> can be achieved with rated rotational<br />

speed.<br />

u = 60 rpm = 1 rps → T = 1 s<br />

In Table 5.6 maximum <strong>for</strong>ward speeds <strong>of</strong> the carrier <strong>for</strong> several intra-row<br />

distances are given.<br />
