MixIn - double mixing and crumbling

All Väderstad tine cultivators are equipped with the unique MixIn shin as standard. 

The material thereby passes the tine twice, doubling the mixing intensity both in depth and lengthwise. The benefit of a better depth mixing is that the working depth can be reduced without compromising the result. A good lengthwise distribution gives a more even crop emergence. In heavy soil the throwing angle effectively breaks the soil flow and leaves it nicely crumbled.

The MixIn shins provide superior mixing and crumbling, without increasing fuel costs.

E-control

Full control at your fingertips

Using the iPad-based control system Väderstad E-Control, the operator gains full control of the machine directly from the tractor cab. With a touch of a button, the driver can set the individual working depth or intensity of the shanks, levellers, or packer on the go. To assist the field work, four pre-set buttons can be used to store different machine configurations.

With the iPad you can upload the most recent program software which allows you to benefit from future developments.

The future of tillage is optimized

The next step after variable rate application of seed and fertilizer is to apply the same thinking to tillage. Here, savings can be unlocked using the rule "as much as necessary, as little as possible." Some of the benefits include diesel savings and improved soil health, as well as the possibility to increase working speed and reduce wear. Additionally, this enables an autonomous farming future.

The introduction of the iPad-based control system Väderstad E-Control, opens the possibility to apply prescription map tillage via ISOBUS Task Control.

Fertiliser placement with cultivation

Fertiliser placement with cultivation

Equipping Opus with a fertiliser kit allows for fertiliser application together with the tillage operation. The kit includes a distributor head that distributes the fertiliser, metered out from the front hopper Väderstad FH 2200. From the distributor head, the fertiliser is distributed to each cultivator tine. The fertiliser is placed behind each tine at selected depth, thereby providing benefits for the coming crop.

Väderstad Opus flexible in transport on roads and headlands

Easy to maneuver when turning

The carrying wheels are positioned in the middle of the machine, which makes Opus both easy to transport and gives it a small turning radius on headlands.

Behind each wheel there is a tine to leave a perfect surface without tracks.

Support wheels on the wing sections ensure that the cultivator works to a constant depth across the entire working width.
