Carrier X 425-625 can be delivered with single SoilRunner packer from year model 2017
The packer rings of SoilRunner are constructed with a u-profile, which are designed to be filled with soil. Thereby the packer uses the “soil on soil method”, and the result is a cultivated open surface.
– The soil on soil method is rooted in a strong customer demand of a packer that gives a good structure in light soils, without bulldozing. Additionally, SoilRunner offers the possibility of working the fields also in wet conditions, says Bernt Mårtensson, concept developer at Väderstad.
Since the u-profile of the packer is filled with soil, the wear is reduced.
– Single SoilRunner, which has a diameter of 575mm, has 30% lower weight than the steel packer SteelRunner. Thereby single SoilRunner requires a lower lifting capacity from the tractor, while also keeping the good working results of Carrier X in the field, says Bernt Mårtensson.
Wider usage
Over the years, the effective disc cultivator Carrier X have been refined and further developed. One of the latest additions is the 470mm discs TrueCut 470 which, because of its conical shape and milled cut-outs, keeps an aggressive penetration over time.
– By equipping Carrier X with TrueCut 470 discs as well as single SoilRunner packer, you get an aggressive disc cultivator that handles large amounts of residues, with a low draught requirement, says Bernt Mårtensson.
Carrier X 425-625 can be delivered with the single SoilRunner packer from year model 2017.
