This innovation complemented the existing 3-4m rigid tine cultivator, Cultus 300-400. Cultus HD boasts a heavy-duty tine with a 680kg release force, while Cultus features a robust tine with a 480kg release force. “We are excited to introduce the heavy-duty Cultus HD to the 3-4m rigid segment, simultaneously extending the Cultus family into the 4.25-5.25m segment,” says Wolfram Hastolz director, tillage product management at Väderstad. This means Väderstad will offer the following product families, going forward:
Cultus 300-400 – Rigid 3-4m, mounted or trailed;
Cultus 425-525 – Foldable 4.25-5.25m, mounted;
Cultus HD 300-400 – Rigid 3-4m, mounted or trailed; and
Cultus HD 425-525 – Foldable 4.25-5.25m, mounted.
“The new machine models complete our tine cultivator range in the 3-5.25m segment, offering our outstanding Cultus and Cultus HD to suit the full range of field conditions,” said Wolfram.
While introducing new models, Väderstad is also enhancing the existing 3-4m machines. The upgraded models feature a completely new frame designed to improve field performance and extend working life. Notable enhancements include the introduction of hydraulic leveler settings and the option to fit a double packer, the Double SoilRunner, for reconsolidation, according to the company.
