Technical information
Carrier 420-820
Carrier is a disc cultivator used for high speed primary tillage and seedbed preparation. The wide range of front tools, discs and packers enables Carrier to handle the versatile challenges of modern farming – from ultra-shallow cultivation to a deeper incorporation. The versatility it brings to the farm saves passes, decreases machine cost per hectare and provides the best start possible for the coming crop.
The multitasking implement
Carrier 420-820 is a trailed disc cultivator, available in working widths between 4.2 and 8.2 metres. It can be fitted with 450 or 470mm discs. Whether you require a stale seedbed, levelling of ploughed land or cover crop incorporation, the wide range of front tools offer versatility to different farming requirements.
Discs according to requirement
Carrier 420-820 can be fitted with either 450mm discs or 470mm TrueCut discs. Both discs produces fine tilth optimal for a stale seedbed. The 450mm disc has small cut-outs, resulting in an intensive cultivation even at a very shallow working depth. The 470mm TrueCut disc has larger cut-outs which can handle more crop residue with increased penetration.
Intensive ultra-shallow tillage
CrossCutter Disc performs outstanding in oilseed rape stubble and in cover crops, while also enabling great advantages in grain stubble as well as on ploughed land. Because of its disc shape and high quality Swedish steel, CrossCutter Disc provides full cut-out and intensive mixing at shallow working depth. This means that an extensive stale seedbed is created over the entire field.
Straw harrow compensates for poor straw distribution
Large combines tend to have a poor straw distribution, leading to an uneven emergence of the next crop. Equipped with the straw harrow Carrier not only cuts, but also distributes straw in the same pass. Well distributed straw is crucial to provide the following crop with the same conditions over the entire field.
Great mobility
Carrier 420-820 uses the unique Väderstad folding system, giving a fast transition from field to transport. When folded the transport width is only 2.5m. The folding technique gives the machine a low centre of gravity, resulting in safe manoeuvring.Product concept
Zone 1 - Front tools
Whether you require a stale seedbed, levelling of ploughed land or cover crop incorporation, the optional front tools offer versatility to different farming requirements.
Zone 2 - Intensive cutting and mixing
Two rows of high quality V-55 hardened Swedish steel discs aggressively cuts and mixes harvest residues down to 12cm working depth. The conical shape of the discs ensures a long working life and good crumbling of the soil.
Zone 3 - Reconsolidation
Carrier can be equipped with packers suitable for a wide range of field conditions. The rubber suspension on the packer absorbs shocks and extends the working life of the frame and the packer.
