Heavy duty depth precision
Carrier XT 425-625 is a mounted foldable disc cultivator with discs positioned in an x-shape, available in 4.25, 5.25 or 6.25 metre working width. It can be fitted with 450 or 470mm diameter discs. It has excellent contour following and impressive penetration ability for its weight. The working depth is set from the tractor cab, enabling adaptation to varying conditions in the field.
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.
It's all about angles
A main feature of Carrier XT is its hydraulically rotating disc axles. Thereby Carrier XT is able to optimize the cut-out performance at shallow depth, while increasing the depth precision at deeper working depths. Reducing the amount of soil moved and optimizing the machine weight, is important to deliver best possible results as well as minimise the diesel consumption. By adapting the disc angles to the working depth, Väderstad Carrier can do more with less.
For the farmer, this is seen in a full cut-out at shallower working depth, as well as an excellent depth keeping and reduced soil flow at deeper working depths.
Discs according to requirement
Carrier XT 425-625 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.
Disc Configurator
To meet differing farming needs, Väderstad offers a wide range of discs for disc cultivators. With the right choice of discs you are able to optimise the working result on your fields, providing the best start possible for the next crop.
Intensive ultra-shallow tillage
CrossCutter Disc performs outstanding in oilseed rape stubble and in cover crops, while also enabling great advantages in grain stubble as well as on ploughed land. Because of its disc shape and high quality Swedish steel, CrossCutter Disc provides full cultivation and intensive mixing at shallow working depth. This means that an extensive stale seedbed is created over the entire field.
X stands for x-disc
The discs are positioned in an x-shape, which enables the lateral forces to cancel each other out. The x-disc format guarantees that the machine will always run dead straight behind the tractor. This saves diesel but is also essential when using a GPS guidance system or when driving in hilly conditions.
Full control from the cab
To gain full control, the working depth is controlled hydraulically from the cab. This provides Carrier X with high precision and versatility on varying soil types.
The depth setting is easily carried out, without the need for top link adjustments.
Easy to manoeuvre
Carrier XT 425-625 is mounted on the three-point linkage, which offers a high ground clearance and very good mobility.
The transport width is only 2.4 metres and even when folded you maintain a good rear view from the cab.
You benefit from convenient transport between fields and short turning radius on headlands.
Heavy-duty design for long working life
With a strong tube frame and heavy-duty joints, Carrier XT is constructed to withstand heavy stresses.
You benefit from a long working life with exceptional working results in the field.
Unique packer suspension
All Väderstad packers are equipped with packer suspensions. This reduces the shocks into the frame, drastically increasing the machine working life.
Carrier XT for harsh environments
By incorporating slurry at the same time as it is applied, more nutrients become available for the subsequent crop. Väderstad has designed solutions to connect a third part slurry distributor head. In order to adapt to the harsh environment associated with fertiliser delivery, Carrier XT can be delivered as a slurry edition.
The kit includes a galvanised frame, piston rod protection, a hydraulic wing lock and stainless steel hydraulic couplings.
The result is a machine with a very long life in extremely demanding environments.
Product concept
Zone 1 - Intensive cutting and mixing
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.

Zone 2 - Reconsolidation
Carrier XT can be equipped with a wide range of 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.
