VÄDERSTAD SPIRIT 600-900 C/S™

Seed Drills with working widths between 6 and 9 m

The pneumatic seed drill Spirit carries out levelling, seedbed preparation, reconsolidation, seeding and pressing in one pass. It is known to provide impressive precision at high working speeds on the field. Thanks to the individual row depth control, Spirit always places the seed at the intended seeding depth. You benefit from an even emergence over the entire field.To ensure a firm seedbed, large packer wheels consolidate the soil prior to seed placement. Each individual seed coulter has a wide coulter press wheel. This allows the seed coulters to respond to any irregularities or soil variations on the field, thereby ensuring the working depth is constantly maintained. The generous diameter of the coulter press wheel, further results in a smooth ride with minimal impacts from vibrations, thereby increasing precision at high speed. 

Contour following for even results
The great field contour following ability of Spirit is a result of its highly adaptable wing sections following the ground, as well as individual suspended front tool discs and seed coulters. This makes Spirit able to provide same even conditions over the entire field.
Headland management increases precision
To optimize the operations at the headland, Spirit is equipped with automatic headland sequence control. The system automatically lifts and lowers the front tools and seed coulters in sequence. When entering the field the system lowers the front tool into the soil before the seed coulters. Even crop establishment is achieved by eliminating double drilling or overworked headlands.
Designed for consistent seeding depth
The Spirit seed coulter consists of double seed discs connected to a large depth keeping press wheel. Each seed coulter is individually mounted on a rubber suspended arm, and the seeding depth is set by applying hydraulic pressure. This system allows for excellent contour following with great results at high working speed.

A seed planted at the correct depth will emerge at the right time and get a competitive edge against both pests and weeds. Knowing this, every part of the Spirit seed coulter is constructed with precision in mind.
Seeding depth as its top priority

Uneven ground
Having each seed coulter mounted on its own arm allows the seed coulters to respond to any irregularities on the field. The working depth is constantly maintained over the entire working width.

Varying soil types
To adapt to varying soil conditions, the coulter pressure can be altered from the cab on the move. The result is a consistent seed depth over the entire field, despite variations in soil types. The wide press wheel has a great ability to stay on top of the field surface, reducing the need to adapt pressure.

Hilly terrain
To ensure an even seed depth in hilly terrain, Spirit is equipped with active seed coulter pressure. The machine immediately registers if it is located on a crest or a trough. If so, automatic valves directly compensate for an increased or decreased pressure. The seed coulter pressure is kept at a constant pre-set value, irrespective of which working angle the seed coulters are in, relative to the rest of the machine.

SeedEye ensures great results
Increasing access to information is the cornerstone of smarter farming. Since SeedEye registers each individual seed and fertilizer passing through the tubes, the seeding is visualized in real time. If a deviation should occur, SeedEye gives an immediate warning so that any impact on the drilling can be quickly remedied.
Take full control of the seeding
Väderstad SeedEye puts the control in your hands giving you the opportunity to fully optimize the result on the field. By measuring seeds per square meter, instead of weight per hectare, the seeding result is no longer affected by variations in different seed bags or seed types. This increases precision and maximizes seeding performance. Working with ISOBUS Task Controller, a variable seed rate and sectional shut off is also possible.
Spirit 600-900 C/S
Spirit 600-900 S is a universal seed drill for high capacity drilling in conventional and minimum tillage. It is equipped with innovative solutions that increase the precision and simplifies the operations at the farm.

Spirit 600-900 C is a pneumatic seed drill for both seed and fertilizer. The 5000 litre hopper with large opening, result in fewer fills. Both the fertilizer and seed metering have impressive capacity.

Spirit 600-900 C/S is available in 6, 8 or 9 meters working widths. It is equipped with innovative solutions that increases the precision and simplifies the operations at the farm.

Fertilizer metering without limits
The fertilizer is metered out via a distributor auger located at the bottom of the hopper. A hydraulic motor drives the auger and provides great fertilizer capacity. Due to a dividing wall in the hopper, the relation between the seed and fertilizer sections can easily be adjusted. If needed the whole hopper which hold 5000 liters can be used for seed.

High capacity seed metering

Spirit 600-900C is equipped with two Fenix II metering systems that provide constant and reliable seed metering. The strong motor permits high seed rates at high speed. Due to the high location of the integrated fan, the dust intake is minimized, increasing drilling accuracy. To optimize the air distribution according to the respective seed and fertilizer type, all airflows are adjusted with the integrated AirBalance system.
