Method of Measuring Slip Rate Using a Stopwatch

CQ207330-UN-02AUG01

1. Mark out two points A and B approximately 30 m apart.
2. Start 20 m (65 ft 7 in.) before starting mark A . Start stopwatch when marker A is reached and stop stopwatch when marker B is reached. Record time.
3. Cover the same distance with the implement raised (in transport position) and record time between A and B , using the same gear and engine operating speed.

Slip (%) =	(time for step 2 - time for step 3) X 100
	____________________________
	Time for step 2

Example
In field position, time = 15 s
Implement without load = 13 s.

Slip =	(15 - 13) x 100 =	13.3 %
	____________
	15

NOTE: Add more weight if slip is excessive, always respecting recommended maximum values. For rates below minimum, weight must be removed.
