Väderstad will launch at Agritechnica 2019 an all-new heavy duty and widest tine harrow, the NZ Extreme 1250-1425. A limited number of NZ Extreme machinery will be available in selected markets in 2020, with production starting in 2021.
The 12.5m to 14.25m machine sets a new standard for field performance when it comes to seedbed preparation. The NZ Extreme’s innovative high-quality design brings capacity and agronomic benefits.
Design focus has been largely on the tines of the new heavy-duty harrow. An intense vibrating tine action combined with an extreme stiffness and durability is capable of crushing clods, while maintaining an exact depth and completely level field.
To ensure exact field contour following and to be able adapt to field surface and maintain depth, the NZ Extreme is built from a five section frame. This is enhanced by an innovative weight transfer, ingenious wheel setup and heavy machine design.
A new central-fill function is an option for the high speed planter Tempo L to increase capacity to this already world-record holding drill. It will be on show for the first time at Agritechnica 2019, with 12-24 row unit versions –Tempo L 12, Tempo L 16, Tempo L 18 and Tempo L 24 – available on the market early 2021.
Central-fill functionality means that instead of filling seed in each of the row units, the operator will only have to fill one large central 3000 litre seed hopper. The Tempo L drill will then take care of seed distribution to each row unit.
The central-fill feature works as a pressurized system, constantly feeding the seed meters at which point the patented PowerShoot technology ensures excellent establishment.
Väderstad will launch the new innovative Tempo WideLining system at Agritechnica 2019, with the technology being available on Tempo V 6-12 from the second half of 2020. It is the world’s first tramlining system, which enables farmers to spread liquid manure in a standing silage maize crop, without compromising yield potential.
Instead of shutting off row units to create tramlines, WideLining automatically changes the row spacing on the planter hydraulically to create two 1050mm tyre tracks, thereby ensuring all row units plant at full capacity. The row spacing between the tyre tracks will go from 750-600mm.
WideLining is fully automatic and integrated in the iPad-based control system Väderstad E-Control. When the function is activated, the machine will calculate the field and automatically adjust the row units to create tramlines based on the working width of the liquid manure spreader.
How WideLining works in practise, for example, is establishing silage maize with an 8-row planter and using a liquid manure spreader with 18 metre working width, the drill should plant 8.3% more seeds in the field compared to alternative technology available on the market.
