For the field season of 2024, the cultivators Väderstad TopDown and Opus, enters a new generation. In addition to an updated design, this means the introduction of the iPad-based control system Väderstad E-Control, as well as the possibility to apply prescription map tillage via ISOBUS Task Control.
The introduction of E-Services on TopDown 400-700 and Opus 400-700 allows the machines to use prescription maps, to control the machine setting automatically on the go. This means that the farmer, before going to the field, can program how the individual working elements - discs, tines, leveller and packer - should behave at specific spots on the field based on for example soil type, or field characteristics.
TopDown with E-services is the winner of the Farm Machine 2024 award in the tillage category. The award was announced at the Agritechnica exhibition in Hannover, Germany.
