The flagship of Väderstad machines. The Rapid seed drill revolutionised arable planting in the late 1980’s early 1990’s and continues to lead the way today. As the name suggests, these machines are capable of high speed and precise drilling of cereal crops. They can be used as part of a variety of farming methods, as part of a minimum tillage system or drilling into a seedbed create using intensive cultivation. Vaderstads range of Rapid seed drills offers impressive results in all conditions. The system used by the Rapid range encompasses seedbed preparation, levelling, drilling, and reconsolidation all in a single pass, resulting in highly efficient seeding results. The Rapid system allows for control of the seed depth from the cab allowing for easy adjustments to be made on the go. The unique design ensures that a seed slot is always clean, regardless of soil type, and that a very fine soil bed is created for the seed to maximise germination. Offering the opportunity for maximum yields and expert handling on the pass, the Vaderstad Rapid range is top of the range.
The Vaderstad Tempo range of seed drills offers both high speeds and precision. With one of the Vaderstad Tempo models holding the world record for hectares planted in 24 hours, it’s easy to see how these machines could benefit your farm. Due to the pressurised seeding system built into the Vaderstad Tempo range, high speeds can be achieved without worrying about seeds jumping out of their slots due to vibrations. They are placed with precision and packed to ensure maximum soil contact and allow quick germination. Due to the precise and quick nature of the seed placement, you can expect higher yields and more efficient working times from the Tempo range, Vaderstad's premium seed drills.
The TopDown is a combination cultivator carrying out multiple operations from shallow to complete deep cultivation in one pass. Firstly the two rows of discs for mixing and cutting, then auto-reset legs for deep loosening followed by levelling discs and a steel ring packer for reconsolidation. A Vaderstad Topdown can also be fitted with a Bio-drill to turn it into a seeder for planting crops like OSR.
