    Mark two points (flag) A and B at a distance of approximately 30 m between them.

  2. Start working 20 m (65 ft 7 in.) before flag A. Start chronometer when reaching flag A and stop measurement when reaching flag B.
  3. Travel the same distance, but now with raised implement, and register the time between points A and B, using the same gear and engine speed.

   

Slip (%) =

(time for step 2 - time for step 3) X 100

Time for step 2

   

Example:
Working, time = 15 s
Implement without load = 13 s

     

Slip =

(15 - 13) x 100

= 13.3 %

15

     

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