Extremely powerful tines

Opus is equipped with robust tines, which mix and loosen the soil down to 30cm working depth. With DeepLoosening points the loosening depth increases to 40cm. The tines have a hydraulic stone release, which can be adjusted variably up to 700kg release force.

Thanks to this high release force and its soil-seeking points, Opus is able to maintain a constant working depth in all field conditions.

Väderstad Cultus MixIn doubles the effect

MixIn - double mixing and crumbling

All Väderstad tine cultivators are equipped with the unique MixIn shin as standard. 

The material thereby passes the tine twice, doubling the mixing intensity both in depth and lengthwise. The benefit of a better depth mixing is that the working depth can be reduced without compromising the result. A good lengthwise distribution gives a more even crop emergence. In heavy soil the throwing angle effectively breaks the soil flow and leaves it nicely crumbled.

The MixIn shins provide superior mixing and crumbling, without increasing fuel costs.

Completely versatile reconsolidation

Completely versatile reconsolidation

Opus has a unique consolidation with four different options. During dry weather weight can be transferred from the cultivator to the packer. During humid weather the packer can float with its own weight. In very humid conditions the packer can either be raised or be completely removed.

Fertiliser placement with cultivation

Fertiliser placement with cultivation

Equipping Opus with a fertiliser kit allows for fertiliser application together with the tillage operation. The kit includes a distributor head that distributes the fertiliser, metered out from the front hopper Väderstad FH 2200. From the distributor head, the fertiliser is distributed to each cultivator tine. The fertiliser is placed behind each tine at selected depth, thereby providing benefits for the coming crop.
