Enhanced depth and durability with Marathon Edge points
The Marathon Edge-series of the Marathon points are characterised by their thinner body. This improves the soil searching ability which positively impacts the depth keeping in difficult conditions. Therefore, they are the first choice on vibrating tines such as Väderstad Swift. Marathon Edge offers approximately 4 times the working life of a standard point.

Consistent depth and effective soil mixing
Väderstad Marathon points are equipped with a tungsten carbide tip, allowing them to maintain the same working depth and width throughout their long service life.
When paired with the Väderstad MixIn shin, this extended durability ensures consistent and thorough soil mixing from start to finish. The combination delivers reliable results season after season, thanks to the Marathon point’s long-lasting performance.
Up to 10x working life saves time...
Thanks to the durability of the Marathon point, you spend less time in the workshop, and no points need to be changed during the season. This means you can spend more time in the field when conditions are at their best. This becomes even more important in tough seasons with especially short windows of opportunity.
...and money
Marathon helps save fuel by maintaining a sharp point that moves easily through different soil conditions, always preserving the optimal soil-breaking angle. In contrast, uneven or worn points cause unnecessary soil flow, which leads to increased fuel consumption.
Flat surface for optimised soil flow
All Marathon points feature a perfectly flat surface, similar to the body of a plough. This optimises soil flow while minimising resistance and reducing diesel consumption.
-
A patented solution for stone resistance
The Marathon tungsten carbide is folded around the tip of the point, creating a thick base that diverts forces in two directions. This design significantly increases resistance to stones. An added benefit is that it prevents wear from underneath the point, which could otherwise lead to cracking of the hard metal over time.
The right point for the task
Selecting the correct point depends on the specific tillage task at hand. There are three main objectives that a point can achieve: mixing, breaking, and drainage. Often, the desired result is a combination of these effects or is more closely aligned with two of these targets.
-
Let your soil determine your point
To maximise the space available for roots, careful consideration of soil type is essential when selecting points for your cultivator. While heavy soils can rely on their natural structure, lighter, self-compacting soils require complete loosening to create optimal conditions for the next crop.

Heavy soils with structure
For heavy soils, breaking compaction layers and creating a fine, crumbled surface is crucial. If the structure and residue levels allow, a thinner point is effective for maintaining the soil's integrity. In wet years, always opt for a thinner point to minimise negative impacts on the soil structure.
-
Self-compacting soils
During the growing season, self-compacting soils tend to collapse, reducing the space available for root nutrient and moisture uptake. Wider points are ideal for these soils, delivering complete loosening, thorough mixing, and improved aeration of the soil profile.
Choose point and shin depending on the result you need
To achieve good mixing, the amount of soil brought to the surface is key. It affects how much crop residue can be mixed in and how deep it goes. The idea is simple: closer row spacing and wider points move more soil. On the other hand, thinner points help improve flow through the machine and reduce power needs when working deeper in the ground.

Marathon Edge: 50/80mm vs 80mm
The Marathon Edge 50/80mm offers a sharper point than the Marathon Edge 80mm and can therefore work deeper with maintained draw force requirement. It will enter better in tough conditions. In heavier soils the thinner point bottom lowers the amount of clods created compared to the 80mm point.
- Works deeper with maintained draw force
- Enters better in tougher conditions
- Thinner points penetrate better in tough conditions and reduce clods in heavy soils.
- Perfect Fit to the MixIn shin
- Flat point for optimal soil flow
- Thin, light point, enters the soil easier and maximises the tine vibrations, more fine tilth and better sorting ability
- Sharp shape ensures penetration in tough condition
- Folded hard metal protects against stones
Low weight maximises benefits
A spring tine does an optimal job if it vibrates just at a perfect frequency, the Swift tine has app. 100 vibrations per second. This helps reducing draw force requirement, point wear but also makes it crumble the soil better. A too heavy point would have difficulties coming back to the set working depth in tough conditions and would reduce the small vibrations thus producing less fine tilth.
Always the same precision
A cultivator will have a higher wear on the points in the front rows and especially in the wheel tracks, this cause an uneven work result. Marathon Edge will keep the working depth throughout its entire life time, delivering a perfect cultivation result. An additional benefit is the work time saved changing the points.
Standard 80mm point
Wear changes working depth.
Marathon Edge 80mm point
Depth consistent over time no matter wear.
MixIn shin: Double the mixing and save fuel
The Väderstad MixIn shin revolutionises soil mixing by directing soil and residue forwards instead of upwards, enhancing both depth and lengthwise distribution. This unique design doubles the mixing effect, reduces fuel consumption, and creates a finer tilth for improved crop performance.
