fertilise, to a distance (D/2) that is the half of the working width
that is used (point 1);
• Drive in the field, distributing the fertilizer on all the perimeter;
• Stop the tractor at one distance (D) from the point 1, equivalent to
the set working width (point 2);
• Begin the spreading by opening the exits and proceeding in line,
straight to point 3;
• Turn the tractor and drive a D distance, equal to the working width
(point 4);
• Repeat such procedure until all the plot will be covered.
