Cultivation, drilling and planting specialist Väderstad has announced the addition of a new tined cultivator to its product range.
The all-new mounted Väderstad Cultus HD sets a new standard in the mounted tine cultivator segment. The Cultus HD 425-525 is designed to offer exact depth control and high field performance. The Cultus HD is available in working widths of 4.25 or 5.25m and equipped with three rows of tines with 27cm spacing and a maximum working depth of 30cm.
At the heart of the machine is the new heavy-duty Cultus HD tine, with a release force up to 680kg. This allows the machine to maintain its working depth in a full range of conditions. The cultivator is said to maintain a high force against the soil; when the HD tine encounters a heavy or immoveable object, it is able to fully release out of the soil to pass the obstacle. When reentering the soil, the high spring tension will see a quicker return to the target depth, resulting in more consistent result over the entire paddock.
Built with the operator in mind, depth is set from the cab. Meanwhile, the Dynamic Control automatic leveller adjustment system ensures the levellers are always working in optimal position, taking away the need for manual adjustment.
Cultus HD can be fitted with a wide range of high-quality Väderstad points and MixIn shins, designed, tested and produced at the Väderstad Components genuine parts factory.
