Vaderstad Cultus HD Compatible with NEXAT

The Vaderstad Cultus HD is now adapted for the NEXAT carrier vehicle, offering an impressive 14-meter working width, making it one of the world’s largest cultivators.

North Dakota, United States - Vaderstad Group., a farm machinery manufacturer’s, Cultus HD is now adapted to fit the NEXAT GmbH., an agricultural machinery manufacturer’s, carrier vehicle. The NEXAT crop production system uses 14-meter-wide tramlines for year-round field operations, minimizing soil compaction by avoiding up to 95% of soil disturbance, promoting soil regeneration, and creating optimal growing conditions for crops.

NEXAT’s global soil analyses have highlighted significant soil compaction in conventionally farmed land, caused by uncontrolled field traffic and the formation of a plow pan from traditional tillage. This compaction leads to erosion, poor water infiltration, limited oxygen supply, and reduced soil vitality, ultimately hindering soil potential and lowering yields.

The new Cultus HD offers versatile applications in widespan controlled traffic farming, with working depths from 5 to 30 cm. It efficiently loosens soil within the NEXAT planting track and can be converted to a strip-till cultivator with 50 cm row spacing. Its automatic stone release system handles tough conditions, and its integration into the NEXAT system eliminates the need for additional machinery, maximizing its full potential.

NEXAT explained, “Our mission is to develop a system that not only makes work easier but sustainably revolutionizes agriculture. The premiere in Romania was a success, achieving an area performance of up to 10 hectares per hour at a working depth of 25 cm. Next year, additional Cultus HD units will be produced and delivered to customers.”
