Wide seeding precision
The 12 metre wide pneumatic seed drill Inspire 1200C/S offers a high-capacity output at a low draught force requirement. Its adaptive double disc seed coulters system, paired with the highly advanced Fenix III metering system, results in even emergence and strong crop growth. It is available as a seed-only or seed- and fertiliser model.
Selected features
The seed coulter
The Inspire 1200C/S coulter focuses on the key details that support strong seed placement. Creating the right conditions for each seed helps improve crop performance and make the most of every pass in the field.
-
The coulter at a glance
Built for reliable performance, the coulter system uses the seed discs and press wheel to place seeds evenly in the soil. This helps ensure steady emergence and consistent results across the field.

-
Great depth keeping
The seed discs on Inspire 1200C/S are shaped to cut into the soil with less pressure. This makes it easier for the machine to hold a consistent depth, helping seeds grow evenly across the field.
-
Reduced draught force
In Inspire 1200C/S, the seed discs are arranged to reduce the effort needed to open the soil. This thoughtful design keeps the discs steady over time, helping to improve sowing accuracy and reduce the need for upkeep.
-
Precise seed delivery
The seeds are placed just before the centre of the seed disc. As the disc moves, it helps settle each seed at the base of the slot, giving it a good start with access to moisture and better chances for early growth.
-
Minimal soil disturbance
Inspire 1200C/S uses a disc shape and mounting that gently opens the soil, creating a slim seed slot with minimal disruption. This supports even seed spacing and makes it easier to close the slot properly afterwards.
-
Higher throughflow
The seed disc setup in Inspire 1200C/S allows for a narrow coulter, making it easier for soil and residue to pass through. This boosts efficiency when working in fields with leftover crops or harder ground.
-
Versatile press wheel
The wide press wheel on Inspire 1200C/S helps the machine follow the ground surface smoothly. Its soft tyre design spreads the pressure over a larger area, supporting better slot closure and making it suitable for a variety of soil conditions.
-
Size minimises vibrations
Inspire 1200C/S benefits from wide-diameter seed discs and press wheels that help smooth out movement in the field. Less vibration means better control over sowing depth and more even seed placement, even at higher speeds.
-
Clean wheel maintains seed depth
In Inspire 1200C/S, the wheel stays clean thanks to a combination of the tyre and rear scrapers. This helps keep seed depth consistent, which is important for uniform emergence and healthy crops.
TriForce II® seed coulter suspension
The TriForce II® seed coulter suspension brings greater precision to the field. Thanks to its unique design, the coulter has an unmatched ability to maintain its set pressure, even when challenged by irregularities in the terrain. The result is a more consistent seed depth, leading to even germination and more uniform crop emergence.
Advanced computer modelling shaped the unique triangular beam, enabling the suspension to function like a “lower and higher gear” to deliver optimal pressure at all angles.
Even emergence
Uniform seed depth ensures crops grow evenly, enhancing plant competition and maximising yield potential.
Maximising yield potential
Avoid shallow or deep seed placement, which can lead to poor germination and potential yield loss.
Adapted for each field
TriForce II® is engineered for real-world conditions, recognising that every field is unique.
Extended pressure range
With up to 120 kg of coulter pressure, the seed coulter system expands its operational range. This enables high-performance seeding in light to medium soil conditions without compromising on precision.
Consistent seed depth
TriForce II® ensures that each individual seed coulter maintains its set pressure, even when the coulter arm is angled upwards or downwards due to field irregularities. This leads to a uniform seed depth, promoting even germination, consistent crop emergence, and improved yield potential.
Inspire 1200C/S adapts to the field
Correct seed depth is key to timely growth and better resistance against weeds and pests. Inspire 1200C/S is built with precision in mind, making sure each seed has the best chance to grow evenly and establish well in the field.
Uneven ground
On Inspire 1200C/S, each coulter moves on its own arm, allowing it to follow the shape of the field. This means the machine can keep a consistent depth across the whole working area, even on uneven surfaces.
Varying soil types
Inspire 1200C/S adapts to changing soil conditions by letting the driver adjust coulter pressure from the cab. The wide press wheel helps the machine stay in touch with the soil surface, keeping seed depth steady and reducing the need for frequent adjustments.
Hilly terrain
Inspire 1200C/S features an active pressure system that responds to changes in slope. Whether the machine is on a rise or in a hollow, the system adjusts the coulter pressure automatically to keep seed depth consistent and ensure accurate placement.
Smart control from the cab
Hydraulic depth setting and E-Control integration allow operators to monitor and adjust seeding parameters directly from the cab using an iPad. This streamlines setup and boosts operational efficiency, giving you full control on-the-go.
New generation control system
Inspire 1200C/S is equipped with the iPad-based control system Väderstad E-Control. Väderstad E-Control wirelessly connects to the Väderstad machine enabling full access to its functions and data. You benefit from user-friendly remote setup and calibration, as well as real-time monitoring and control.

Full control. Always.
Inspire 1200C/S is able to control the output in eight separate sections. This means that Inspire 1200C/S can conduct sectional control down to 1.5m sections. This is a unique precision feature in the 12-metre seed drill segment.

Quality metering, quality performance
The ability of the seed meter to deliver an exact rate at an even flow lays the foundation for the establishment of the coming crop. The Fenix III excels in this area. Its precise, reliable and simple operation allows for a wide range of versatility to suit all types of seeding applications. It can handle seed rates down to 1kg per hectare, while also enabling high doses, never limiting capacity.
Large hopper with great access
Inspire 1200C/S is designed for high performance with minimised downtime in the field. It is equipped with a large hopper, with a low filling height and large opening. The seed-only version Inspire 1200S is equipped with a 5000-litre hopper for seeds. While the combi version Inspire 1200C has a 7200-litre hopper holding both seeds and fertiliser in two separate compartments. With a large platform and an open machine design, you benefit from good access to all components throughout the machine.

Full control with Väderstad SeedEye
Väderstad SeedEye is a unique system for seed counting and seed monitoring. With SeedEye farmers can easily set the number of seeds per square metre, without the need for calibration. SeedEye ensures excellent seeding results with full control.
Inspire 1200C/S is equipped with hydraulic wing pressure which transfers weight from the inner section of the machine to its outer wings. This enables Inspire 1200C/S to respond to any irregularities on the field and ensure an even emergence.
Product concept
Zone 1
To prepare for the seeding, Inspire can be equipped with light front tools.
CrossBoard Light
Track eradicators
Zone 2 - Seed placement
Inspire has 380mm large discs for high-speed accuracy. The OffSet discs move the soil to the side and place the seed in the bottom of the seed furrow. The soil falls back behind the discs and covers the seed with fine soil. The seed coulter pressure is up to 80kg to ensure good penetration. The unique TriForce rubber suspension gives a supreme ability to follow ground contour.
Zone 3 - Reconsolidation
Each individual seed coulter has a wide coulter press wheel. This allows the seed coulters to respond to any irregularities or soil variations on the field, thereby ensuring the working depth is constantly maintained. The generous diameter of the coulter press wheel, further results in a smooth ride with minimal impacts from vibrations, thereby increasing precision at high speed.
Zone 4 - Finishing
The following harrow is positioned to run in between the seed rows, so there is no risk of disturbing shallow-drilled seeds. The following harrow creates a loose evaporation barrier to preserve moisture and prevents capping after heavy rain.
