The product/products in this document may be covered by one or several of these rights.Väderstad’s range for~150 hkVäderstad has a broad range of seed drillsand soil tillage implements with workingwidths from 3 m up to 24 m. This brochurepresents our range of machinery suitable fortractor sizes of around ~150 hk. The Väderstad machine system is suitable in princi-ple for all crops in a varied crop rotation – silagemaize, beans, cereals, grass, clover, oilseed rape,peas – there are numerous possibilities.Flexibility is keyFlexibility is one of the key words for Väderstadwhen developing machines. All our machines arecharacterised by the fact that they can be used forseveral tasks, often within a single pass. This min-imises the capital requirement, since one machinecan perform several operations. Other characteris-tics are high driving speed and thus high capacity. Broad range for different situationsFlexibility is one of the key words for Väderstadwhen developing machines. All our machines arecharacterised by the fact that they can be used forseveral tasks, often within a single pass. This min-imises the capital requirement, since one machinecan perform several operations. Other characteris-tics are high driving speed and thus high capacity. We want to be your trusted partner Our aim is for your Väderstad implement to act as atrusted servant over a long time. To ensure long life,during the development process we carry out load-ing tests involving computer simulations, ruthlessdriving lap after lap in a stone quarry or gravel pitand field trials on actual farms. This lays the founda-tion for long life, minimal breakdowns and thus goodoverall economics Thanks to the Crossboard Heavy toolbar, themachine is shorter, lighter and easier tooversee from the tractor cab. This decreasesthe draught requirement and gives lower in-vestment costs. The new toolbar consists of a powerful, stableCrossboard that does a phenomenal job directlyon plough furrows. Short and manoeuvrableThe turning circle on headlands is impressivelysmall and it is easy to reverse out of corners in thefield. This nifty machine allows a good view of soiltillage and drilling from the tractor cab. Reduced draught requirementRapid with Crossboard Heavy reduces the draughtrequirement. Rapid 300 only requires 100-120 hp toreach speeds of around 10-12 km/h, where Cross-board operates at its best.New agile Rapid modelArne Wilhelm Mohn and his father Peter were among the firstRapid users in Norway and will soon be celebrating the 20thanniversary of their seed drill. “For us, Rapid in combinationwith Carrier has improved the efficiency of crop production,halving the number of passes in the field and decreasing thetime required for stone lifting to zero. That saves valuable timeand expensive diesel.”Bjerke Farm, 137 ha, Norway“The greatest advantage by far with Carrier Drill is the speedand therefore the work rate. I can easily stubble cultivate atspeeds above 15 km/hr. I have drilled winter wheat at thesame high speeds. The faster this machine goes, the betterwork it does.” Vincent Guyot, France, 125 ha.Yves Louedec had has his Rapid for 8 years. The machine hasmade it possible for him to drill maize and cereals withoutprior ploughing. “The maize has always come up evenly, prob-ably due to Rapid’s exact drilling depth. When it comes toharvest, the yields are the same as I used to get when we useda precision seed drill.”Jean Yves Louedec, France “After spring ploughing I level the soil with a Rollex rollerequipped with Crossboard to break up clods, consolidate thesurface and bury stones ahead of drilling. Thanks to Rollex, inprinciple we now have no problems with stones. Rapid carriesout the last soil cultivation during drilling. My Rapid hasworked 2000 hectares in three years. I haven’t replaced anywearing parts yet.
