Optimized tillage performance
The trailed model of the Carrier XT 425-625 is a foldable high-speed disc available in 13.9-, 17.2- and 20.5-foot working widths. Discs are positioned in an x-shape with rotating disc axles and easy depth setting for optimizing tillage performance.
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.
Three disc axles drastically increase the intensity
A third row of discs on the Carrier XT Trailed narrows the disc spacing to 8.3 cm. This significantly increases the tillage intensity, fine tilth creation, and residue mixing in the topsoil. In turn, this leads to higher germination rates of weeds and leftover seeds, which can be effectively eliminated with a second pass.
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.
CrossCutter Knife improves residue chopping
The CrossCutter Knife option on the Carrier XT is an intensive knife roller designed to cut crop residue in two directions.
The CrossCutter Knife finely cuts straw, corn stalks and other residue to help it decompose faster. It also helps to efficiently crush and incorporate cover crops. It helps produce an ideal environment for the successul germination of small-seeded crops like canola.
CrossBoard Heavy provides perfect leveling
The CrossBoard Heavy crushes clods and levels the soil. A double-acting stabilizing bar increases leveling capacity.
The CrossBoard is equipped with master and slave cylinders, which ensure level results by maintaining the position of each CrossBoard section.
On tilled heavy ground, the CrossBoard Heavy allows Carrier to prepare a smooth seedbed, helping reduce the number of tillage passes required.
Maximum CrossBoard performance
The double-acting stabilizer bar connects the CrossBoard tines to one single unit, preventing separate tines from moving forward or backward. This radically increases the suspension power and, in turn, the capacity to both level the field and crush clods.
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.
Save Passes with BioDrill
By equipping the Carrier XT 425-625 with the mountable small seeder, BioDrill 360, small-seeded crops such as canola or cover crops can be established in the same pass as the cultivation operation.
The integrated ground radar ensures precise speed detection, while the high fan capacity guarantees even distribution of all seed sizes.
BioDrill delivers accurate seeding, all while reducing the number of passes required in the field.
Product concept
Zone 1 - Front tools
The front tool options provide versatility for many different farming operations. They can be used for creating a seedbed, leveling tilled ground, incorporating cover crops and more.

Zone 2 - Intensive cutting and mixing
Two rows of high quality V-55 hardened Swedish steel discs aggressively cut and mix harvest residues up to about 4.75" working depth. The conical shape of the discs ensures a long working life and excellent soil crumbling.
