Optimized tillage performance
The trailed models of Carrier XT 425-625 is a foldable disc cultivator with discs positioned in an x-shape, available in 4.25, 5.25 or 6.25 metre working width. With an easy machine setting as well as rotating disc axles, Carrier XT is built to optimize the tillage result depending on the working depth.
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.
It's all about angles
A main feature of Carrier XT is its hydraulically rotating disc axles. Thereby Carrier XT is able to optimize the cut-out performance at shallow depth while increasing the depth precision at deeper working depths. Reducing the amount of soil moved and optimizing the machine weight is important to deliver the best possible results as well as minimise diesel consumption. By adapting the disc angles to the working depth, Väderstad Carrier can do more with less.
For the farmer, this is seen in a full cut-out at shallower working depth, as well as an excellent depth keeping and reduced soil flow at deeper working depths.
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 outstandingly 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 cultivation and intensive mixing at shallow working depth. This means that an extensive stale seedbed is created over the entire field.
X stands for x-disc
The discs are positioned in an x-shape, which enables the lateral forces to cancel each other out. The x-disc format guarantees that the machine will always run dead straight behind the tractor. This saves diesel but is also essential when using a GPS guidance system or when driving in hilly conditions.
CrossCutter Knife adds versatility
By equipping Carrier XT with the intensive knife roller CrossCutter Knife, crop residues can be cut in two directions.
Weeds and small-seeded crops, such as oilseed rape, profit from improved germination. A benefit after grain or sunflowers is the intensified chopping of the straw, giving a faster decomposition. Additionally, cover crops can be crushed and incorporated cost-efficiently.
CrossBoard Heavy for perfect levelling
With CrossBoard Heavy, clods are crushed and the soil is levelled. A double acting stabilising bar increases levelling capacity.
The CrossBoard is equipped with master and slave cylinders, which ensures a level work result by maintaining the position of each CrossBoard section.
On ploughed heavy land, CrossBoard Heavy enables Carrier to prepare a well prepared seedbed which in turn reduces the number of passes required.
Heavy-duty design for long working life
With a strong tube frame and heavy-duty joints, Carrier XT is constructed to withstand heavy stresses.
You benefit from a long working life with exceptional working results in the field.
Save Passes with BioDrill
By equipping the Carrier XT 425-625 with the mountable small seeder, BioDrill 360, small-seeded crops such as oilseed rape or cover crops can be established in the same pass as the cultivation operation.
The integrated ground radar ensures precise speed detection, while the high fan capacity guarantees even distribution of all seed sizes.
BioDrill delivers accurate seeding, all while reducing the number of passes required in the field.
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.
