The next generation TopDown

The powerful and versatile cultivator Väderstad TopDown, which is available in working widths between 3 and 9 metres, is now entering a new generation. Extensive updates, together with the new packer option double SteelRunner, means that the unmatched performance of the machine is further expanded.

The next generation TopDown have a reinforced frame, new hydraulics, stronger tine arms, and a new packer option.

We see a trend towards bigger tractor sizes and a continued strong demand for high efficiency on the field. The capacity of the next generation TopDown will exceed all expectations, says Mattias Hovnert, Sales & Marketing Director at Väderstad.

The multipurpose cultivator TopDown operates with four working zones, resulting in both a shallow and a deep cultivation, as well as an effective levelling and reconsolidation in one pass. The next generation TopDown offers improved performance in all working zones. 

- In the first working zone the aggressive TrueCut 470 discs performs a very effective cutting and mixing. In the second working zone the updated hydraulics with enlarged accumulators, performs a very intensive loosening, distributing and mixing, irrespective of the conditions on the field. Thanks to an updated design and better working angles, an optimal levelling is created in zone three, while the new packer double SteelRunner offers great benefits in the fourth and final working zone, says Mattias Hovnert.

Effective reconsolidation

The new adjustable packer double SteelRunner offers full depth reconsolidation.

- Double SteelRunner, which creates a very effective reconsolidation and clod breaking, is a very interesting complement to the other packers. Because of the design of the packer the soil dries up faster, thereby allowing the farmer to quickly go out on the field for the next operation, says Mattias Hovnert, and continues:
- Furthermore, the open design of the packer results in minimized bulldozing and a low draught requirement.
