Vaderstad Carrier

I bought myself a Carrier XL 525 a couple of years ago, having looked at the original Carrier for years without finding it good enough to strike a deal. And I am really impressed with the CRXL, I mainly bought it for stubble work in cereals and for my maize land which I mainly manage without ploughing. The CRXL works great for both purposes, and it is no problem going deep if you want to. After 2 runs you can hit maximum depth even at my stony lands. When I bought it I had not so big expectations when going into ploughed land, but boy was I wrong. I would say this is probably the work where the CRXL shines the most. Previously I used my Väderstad NZG tine harrow 4 runs when sowing in grassland to get a really smooth surface to be able to hit high speeds during silage season. With my CRXL I run 2 times instead, and I believe the land is even more flat than after 4 runs with NZG. And besides that I have reduced my stonepicking by approx. 70 %, it is really a huge difference.

Nowadays I only use my NZG when I am going to run the Kongskilde Stonebear to lower stonepresence on certain fields.

My CRXL is from 2015 and I can say that they were not a finished product by then. Väderstad have been out two winters in a row to rebuild certain things, but all cred to Väderstad. Everything has been cost free and now I think it actually is a fully developed product!

What are peoples opinion on the Single steel runner v's the double steel runner?
Which would be best for working down ploughed ground on a mixture of heavy clay to light peaty clay?
Which would leave the ground firmer?
Also would the double be less likely to hop.

Been using our carrier to chit the weeds and also follow the shakearator if a few lumps need knocking down. Fitted a straw harrow to the front of ours this year to see if that helps with any trash.
 
Good bit of kit in my opinion
