The Väderstad Carrier XL 525 is a trailed, high-speed disc cultivator with a working width of 5.25 meters. Designed for primary tillage and seedbed preparation, it excels in intensive crop residue incorporation and features adjustable disc angles (11 to 17 degrees) and 610 mm discs that work at depths between 3 to 14 cm. The 525XL 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 XL can be fitted with either 510mm or 610mm TrueCut discs. In comparison, the 510mm disc increases the space around the disc which allows for a higher throughflow. The 610mm on the other hand, enables greater working depth, which is a benefit when incorporating large amounts of crop residues, such as harvested maize stubble By equipping Carrier XL 425-725 with the mountable small seeder BioDrill 360, a small-seeded crop such as oilseed rape or cover crops can be established in the same pass as the cultivating operation. The integrated ground radar provides perfect speed detection, whilst the high fan capacity ensures equal distribution of all seed sizes. BioDrill 360 provides an accurate seeding at the same time as it saves passes on the field.
