2026 Vaderstad Spirit 600-900C 600C FIX

Spirit 600-900C is a pneumatic seed drill for both seed and fertiliser, available in 6, 8 or 9 metre working widths. The 5000 litre hopper with large opening, result in fewer fills. Both the fertiliser and seed metering have impressive capacity. Spirit 600-900C is equipped with innovative solutions that increases the precision and simplifies the operations at the farm.

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.

Features may include:

Spirit 600-900C is equipped with two Fenix II metering systems that provides a 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 minimised, thereby increasing drilling accuracy. To optimise the air distribution according to the respective seed and fertiliser type, all airflows are adjusted with the integrated AirBalance system.

The fertiliser is metered out via a distributor auger located at the front of the hopper. A hydraulic motor drives the auger and provides limitless fertiliser capacity. Due to a dividing wall in the hopper, the relation between the seed and fertiliser sections can easily be adjusted. If needed the whole hopper can be used for seed.

To ensure an even seed depth in hilly terrain and at varying soil types, Spirit 600-900C is equipped with an active seed coulter pressure. Sensors in the hydraulic system immediately registers if Spirit is located on a crest or a trough. If so, automatic valves directly compensates for an increased or decreased pressure. Thereby 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. The result is an impressive seed placement and an even emergence over the entire field.

The distributor heads are placed in a high position. This keeps the seed hoses at the perfect angle even in hilly terrain, this ensures a perfect distribution over the entire working width.

When lifting or lowering the seed drill at the headland, the automatic sequence control lifts or lowers the working zones one by one. When entering the field the system makes sure the front tool is lowered into the soil before the seed coulters and the following harrow. By optimising this automatic lifting and lowering sequence, the seeding and fertiliser accuracy is enhanced at the headlands. This system makes it possible to drill the headland first, without disrupting the result when drilling the rest of the field.

To offer the ability to optimise the output on the field, Spirit 600-900C is equipped with half machine shut-off for both the seed and fertiliser which helps avoid double drilling and uneven crops. On irregular fields, this section shut-off offers great opportunities for extra savings. Farmers who regularly use half machine shut-off appreciate the fact that they can save up to 5 % seed and fertiliser, at the same time allowing the crop the best start possible.
