2016

From year model 2017 the tine cultivator Cultus can be delivered in three versions, customised for a range of field conditions. Because of this, there is a Cultus available for every soil type.

The new front-mounted fertiliser hopper, the FH 2200 enables high precision combi-drilling. The 2,200 litre hopper is equipped with an electric Fenix III metering system and is suitable for large capacity and high working speeds in the field.

The FH 2200 has been developed to handle fertiliser volumes of up to 250 kg/ha at a speed of 15 km/h.

The Väderstad seed drill Spirit 600-900S enters a new phase in the beginning of 2017. A new fan system, optimized seed hopper, active coulter pressure and full control via the iPad-based control system Väderstad E-Control, are some of the prominent news. Thereby, the signature of Spirit – an impressive emergence over the entire field – stands stronger than ever before.

The new seed sensor and treaded closing wheels for the Väderstad Tempo planter, offer extended possibilities regarding high precision planting of small seeded crops such as oil seed rape and sugar beets.

The powerful and versatile cultivator Väderstad TopDown, which is available in working widths between 3 and 9 metres, is now entering a new generation. Extensive updates, together with the new packer option double SteelRunner, means that the unmatched performance of the machine is further expanded.

The mounted disc cultivator Carrier X, available in working widths 4.25, 5.25 and 6.25 metres, can be equipped with the packer single SoilRunner. Because of the good working result and low weight of the packer, the foldable disc cultivator gains new benefits in the field.

Long-term ownership is important for the family Stark. Therefore we begin transfer of shareholding to the third generation Stark and Gilstring.

– We have noticed an increased focus on catch crops and cover crops, as well as easy establishment of oil seeds. BioDrill BDA 360 on Swift opens new possibilities where this kind of seeding can be carried out in the same pass as the cultivation, says Bernt Mårtensson, Concept Developer at Väderstad.

The tine harrow Väderstad NZ Aggressive 500-1000 is equipped with newly developed 8mm points. The result is seen in up to 50 percent increased working life in the field, depending on soil type.

To own a farm, which builds the practical expertise in the company, is very important for Väderstad. During the years, the farm have grown gradually and since 2014 Axel Ektander is hired as the Farm Manager at Väderstad Farm AB. Axel takes care of the soil and crops as if they are his own, and he raises the farm higher levels.
