Heavy-duty precision
The Carrier XT 425-625 is a mounted foldable high-speed disc with discs positioned in an x-shape. It is available in 13.9-, 17.2- and 20.5-foot working widths with two versatile disc options. It has excellent contour following and with impressive soil penetration for its weight. The working depth is set from the tractor cab for adapting to varying conditions in the field.
The Carrier is used for high-speed primary tillage and seedbed preparation. The wide range of front tools, discs and packers enables the Carrier to handle the various challenges of modern farming – from ultra-shallow tillage to deeper incorporation. The versatility it brings to the farm saves passes, decreases machine cost per acre 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. This allows you to optimize tillage uniformity across the implement at shallow tillage depths, or adjust the angles to achieve deeper working depths. Reducing the amount of soil moved and optimizing the machine weight, you can get the best possible results and minimize fuel consumption. By adapting the disc angles to the working depth, the Väderstad Carrier can do more with less.
Benefits of this system include a full cut-out at shallow working depths, plus excellent depth keeping and reduced soil flow at deeper working depths.
Two disc options
The Carrier XT 425-625 can be fitted with either 17.7" discs or 18.5" TrueCut discs. Both options are capable of producing an ideal field finish and seedbed.
The 17.7" disc has small cut-outs, resulting in aggressive soil movement even at a very shallow working depth. The 18.5" 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 optimize the working result on your fields, providing the best start possible for the next crop.
Intensive ultra-shallow tillage
The available CrossCutter Disc performs well in cover crops or sizing small grain residue. Because of its specialized disc shape and premium quality Swedish steel, the CrossCutter Disc provides full-width tillage and intensive mixing at shallow working depths for creating the ideal seedbed.
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 configuration ensures the implement tracks perfectly straight behind the tractor. Not only does this design save fuel, but it is also essential when using a GPS guidance system or operating in hilly conditions.
Full control from the cab
Working depth is controlled hydraulically from the cab. This provides the Carrier XT with high precision and versatility on varying soil types.
Setting the depth is easy without the need for top link adjustments.
Easy to maneuver
Conveniently transport between fields and benefit from a short turning radius on headlands.
The Carrier XT 425-625 is mounted on the three-point linkage, which offers a high ground clearance and excellent mobility.
The transport width is only 7.9 feet, and you maintain a good rear view from the cab even with the unit folded.
Heavy-duty design for long working life
With a strong tube frame and heavy-duty joints, the Carrier XT is constructed to withstand heavy stresses.
It's engineered for long working life with exceptional 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 liquid manure application
By incorporating liquid manure at the same time as it is applied, more nutrients become available for the subsequent crop. So, Väderstad has designed solutions to connect a slurry distributor head. And in order to adapt to the harsh environment associated with fertilizer delivery, the Carrier XT can be delivered as a slurry edition.
The kit includes a galvanized 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 cut and mix harvest residue up to about 4.75" working depth. The conical shape of the discs ensures a long working life and excellent soil crumbling.
CrossCutter Disc
CrossCutter Disc Aggressive
17.7-inch discs
TrueCut 18.5-inch discs
Zone 2 - Reconsolidation
The Carrier can be equipped with 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.
