Carrier

Soil cultivation multi-implement

Carrier is a unique implement with an enormous range of abilities. Stubble cultivation, seedbed preparation, reconsolidation, straw harrowing and furrow levelling are the primary options. Due to the superior mixing ability it is perfect for false seedbed establishment as well as residue mixing. An optimal working speed of 12-15 km/h ensures a very high capacity.

Carrier is available in many versions in order to provide optimal functions based on conditions on each individual farm. Carrier is a quality tool that can resolve soil cultivation tasks flexibly and economically, while also having enormous capacity.

For increased flexibility Carrier can be equipped with Crossboard for crushing clods and levelling furrows, or straw harrow for managing harvest residues.

More rational cropping

Thousands of farmers have discovered the Carrier benefits. For them, Carrier has more or less revolutionised cropping. They have been able to rationalise their businesses since Carrier has a huge potential to perform soil tillage faster and cheaper. The hours spent in the field can be reduced and tillage costs are lower as diesel consumption is decreased. Crop production is simply more rational.

Working widths

Carrier is available in 3m -12.25m working width with both 3 point linkage (3-4m) and trailed models.

Every machine is designed for an even weight distribution over the whole working width.

The discs X-shape eliminates side forces ensuring a straight operation behind the tractor.

Tested in very tough conditions

No chain is stronger than its weakest link and therefore quality is the motto at Väderstad. Materials and constructions must be able to withstand hard work on thousands of hectares. Our own harsh testing mercilessly uncovers any weaknesses. Therefore, investing in a Carrier brings long term benefits and low lifetime costs.

Shock proof machine

Both discs and rollers have rubber suspensions eliminating shocks to reach the main frame. This ensures a long life time and a high second hand value.

Väderstad has been making Carrier since 1999, a true winner's choice saving diesel and time for the modern farmer!

1. Straw distribution

Uniform distribution of straw is a requirement in shallow tillage, in order to create equal germination conditions for all seeds. A straw harrow in front of Carrier helps to distribute the straw over a greater area, particularly when the operation is carried out at a slight angle to the driving direction of the combine.

2. Cultivation

a) With discs

Two rows of special V55 hardened Swedish steel discs aggressively slice the soil and mix harvest trash down to 10-12cm depth. The conical shape of the discs ensures good crumbling of the soil which gives perfect germination conditions for the false seedbed. Another benefit of the conical shaped disc is a constant working angle despite of wear. The 450mm discs provide a high rotation speed with exceptional high disc pressure which effectively chops straw and create a fine tilth structure.

The disc X-shape eliminates side forces ensuring a straight operation behind the tractor. The X dividing discs are placed behind the tractor wheels for an optimum even result.

b) With discs and Crossboard

An option for most Carrier models is the Crossboard. Crossboard is used mainly for crushing, pulverising and levelling ploughed land and for seedbed preparation.

3. Consolidation

In shallow cultivation it is important to leave the soil surface well consolidated, in order to create optimal conditions for germination of volunteer and weed seeds and decomposition of straw. Carrier is equipped with a steel or rubber roller that efficiently compresses the surface and finishes off the task. The diameter of the roller is 550 or 600 mm depending on model. For lighter soils with lower need for reconsolidation a cage roller can be fitted on the CRX models of Carrier.
