Carrier 420-820 is a trailed disc cultivator, available in working widths between 4.2 and 8.2 metres. It can be fitted with 450 or 470mm discs. Whether you require a stale seedbed, levelling of ploughed land or cover crop incorporation, the wide range of front tools offer versatility to different farming requirements.
Carrier is a disc cultivator used for high speed primary tillage and seedbed preparation. The wide range of front tools, discs and packers enables Carrier to handle the versatile challenges of modern farming – from ultra-shallow cultivation to a deeper incorporation. The versatility it brings to the farm saves passes, decreases machine cost per hectare and provides the best start possible for the coming crop.
Carrier 420-820 can be fitted with either 450mm discs or 470mm TrueCut discs. Both discs produces fine tilth optimal for a stale seedbed. The 450mm disc has small cut-outs, resulting in an intensive cultivation even at a very shallow working depth. The 470mm TrueCut disc has larger cut-outs which can handle more crop residue with increased penetration.
CrossCutter Disc performs outstanding well in oilseed rape stubble and cover crops, whilst also achieving excellent results in grain stubble and on ploughed land. CrossCutter Disc is manufactured from high quality Swedish steel and its disc shape provides full cut-out and intensive mixing at shallow working depths. This means that an extensive stale seedbed is created over the entire field.
Large combines tend to have a poor straw distribution, leading to an uneven emergence of the next crop.
Equipped with the straw harrow Carrier not only cuts, but also distributes straw in the same pass. Well distributed straw is crucial to provide the following crop with the same conditions over the entire field.
By equipping Carrier 500 and Carrier 650 with the intensive knife roller CrossCutter Knife, crop residues can be cut in two directions. Weeds and small-seeded crops, such as oilseed rape, profit from an improved germination. A benefit after grain or sunflowers is the intensified chopping of the straw, giving a faster decomposition. Additionally, cover crops can be crushed and incorporated cost efficiently.
With CrossBoard Heavy, clods are crushed and the soil is levelled. A double acting stabilising bar increases levelling capacity.
The CrossBoard is equipped with master and slave cylinders, which ensures a level work result by maintaining the position of each CrossBoard section.
On ploughed heavy land, CrossBoard Heavy enables Carrier to prepare a well prepared seedbed which in turn reduces the number of passes required.
Carrier 420-820 uses the unique Väderstad folding system, giving a fast transition from field to transport. When folded the transport width is only 2.5m.
The folding technique gives the machine a low centre of gravity, resulting in safe manoeuvring.
Carrier 420-820 can be equipped with the mountable small seeder BioDrill 360, enabling it to drill with high precision in the same pass as cultivating.
The integrated ground radar provides perfect speed detection, whilst the high fan capacity ensures equal distribution of all seed sizes.
BioDrill saves time and helps maintain ground moisture.
Whether you require a stale seedbed, levelling of ploughed land or cover crop incorporation, the optional front tools offer versatility to different farming requirements.
Straw harrow
The Straw harrow distributes the straw and crop residues on the field. This is a very good complement to the discs. Well distributed straw is crucial to provide the following crop with the same conditions over the entire field.
CrossCutter Knife
CrossCutter Knife is the optimal toolbar for efficiently and economically incorporating cover crops or creating an effective false seedbed for oilseed rape. It can also be used for cutting up heavy stubble and straw more efficiently for faster decomposition.
CrossBoard Heavy
CrossBoard Heavy consists of hardened tines with angled wearing plates, crushing clods and levelling the field. On ploughed heavy land, CrossBoard Heavy enables Carrier to prepare a well prepared seedbed which in turn reduces the number of passes required.
Two rows of high quality V-55 hardened Swedish steel discs aggressively cuts and mixes harvest residues down to 12cm working depth. The conical shape of the discs ensures a long working life and good crumbling of the soil.
CrossCutter Disc
CrossCutter Disc, which has a diameter of 450mm, works very intensively with a full cut-out at ultra-shallow working depths of 2-3cm. Learn more about CrossCutter Disc
CrossCutter Disc Aggressive
CrossCutter Disc Aggressive, with a diameter of 450mm, works very intensively with full cultivation at an ultra-shallow working depth of 2-3cm. The cut-outs of the CrossCutter Disc Aggressive increases its penetration capability in hard or heavy soil conditions. Learn more about CrossCutter Disc
450mm discs
The 450mm conical discs aggressively cuts the top layer of soil and mixes in straw, soil and residues very intensively.
TrueCut 470mm discs
The TrueCut 470mm disc has the same conical shape as the standard 450mm disc, but have bigger cut-outsthat are better suited to handle larger amounts of crop residues. TrueCut ensures that the shape of the disc is maintained during its whole working life. Learn more about TrueCut
Carrier can be equipped with packers suitable for a wide range of field conditions. The rubber suspension on the packer absorbs shocks and extends the working life of the frame and the packer.
Single SteelRunner
Single SteelRunner have an aggressive profile crushing clods and ensuring even consolidation throughout the working depth. The single SteelRunner works best on medium to heavy soils and in cloddy conditions. Pending scrapers keep the packer clean in all conditions.
