Next Generation of Seed Drills Launched
Väderstad has launched the next generation of its seed drills Spirit 400-900C/S and Inspire 1200C/S. The machines are now fitted with a new seed coulter, extended coulter pressure, a new following harrow option, and a hydraulic depth setting which can be controlled from the cab as an option.
At the heart of the new Spirit and Inspire is the new seed coulter, featuring TriForce II, which is a patented suspension technology that enables every seed coulter to follow the field’s contours with even greater precision.
New patented TriForce II coulter arm suspension gives Spirit and Inspire seed drills an unmatched ability to maintain a set coulter pressure even in undulating and stressed field situations and at high working speeds.The new seed coulter is able to apply 120kg coulter pressure, instead of 80kg as the previous model.
“TriForce II seed coulter rubber suspension with a unique triangular beam helps it handle the movements in field, while maintaining its set pressure to the ground,” says Väderstad UK managing director Andy Gamble. “This a step forward regarding seed depth precision, compared to conventional methods in the double-disc seed drill segment.
“The increased coulter pressure makes it possible for the machines to perform at peak level in a slightly higher range of soil conditions, but also with higher suspension capacity.”
The new Spirit 400-900C/S and Inspire 1200C/S will premiere at Agritechnica 2025. The machines are available to order from October 2025, with deliveries starting later in the year.
