Aggressive tines prepare the soil
Our aggressive Agrilla tines cultivate, ventilate and prepare the soil for quick drilling. The intensive vibrations of the tines grade the soil and effectively levels out hollows at the same time.

What does the ideal seedbed look like?
The seed's greatest potential is realized when it is planted in the soil. The seed needs moisture, an effective reconsolidation, and optimal temperature for quick germination, such as a weather-resistant surface to prevent crusting.

Introducing the long-life Following harrow Marathon
For model year 2024, the following harrow tines, fitted to multiple Väderstad machinery are upgraded with a long-life alternative. By strengthening the following harrow tine with hard metal at the critical point of wear, the working lifetime of the tool is drastically increased.
“The new Following harrow Marathon will drastically increase the working life of the finishing tool.”
- To finish the seedbed preparation, the vibrating following harrow tines create an evaporation barrier whilst sorting larger aggregates and weeds to the surface, says Magnus Samuelsson, Concept developer at Väderstad, and continues:
- Comparing the new Following harrow Marathon to the standard Following harrow, demonstrates a prolonged lifetime in the field of up to 6 times. Since the length of the tine remains constant it maintains its same vibrating, and therefore, soil sorting capabilities. The initial set angle also stays the same. This means a perfect working result year after year, spares the farmer time in the workshop and maximises value adding time.
The new Following harrow Marathon tines can be fitted to the Väderstad harrows NZ Mounted, NZ Aggressive, NZ Extreme, the seed drills Rapid and Spirit as well as the Carrier and Swift cultivators. It is also available to retrofit to existing machines.
Following harrow
The Following Harrow improves the levelling and sorting effect.
- A wellsorted seedbed increases the proportion of fine soil to depth, where the seeds will be placed
- More fine soil results in faster moisture uptake
- and reduced time for germination
- With slightly bigger fractions at the surface, the sensitivity to capping after heavy rain decreases
- The new Following harrow Marathon will drastically increase the working life of the finishing tool
The Väderstad unique MixIn shin
Doubles the mixing effect The MixIn shin throws the material forwards instead the more traditional method of throwing upwards. This forces the material to pass the tine twice, doubling the mixing intensity both in depth and distance.

MixIn shin
MixIn shins guide the soil forward instead of twisting upward. This way, all the soil and residues are mixed twice, which increases the amount of residues that are mixed in deep.
- Same mixing result at a shallower depth
- Fewer passes required saving time and fuel
- Residues are distributed in the driving direction, creating more even germination results
- Levelling is improved when bringing more soil in the driving direction
- Improved crumbling by the breaking of the soil flow, crushing to ground and repetitive action
How does the shin affect the cultivator result?
The shin is just as important as the point. While the point breaks up the soil, the shin manages the soil flow. A high-quality shin throws the soil forward instead of upwards. That effectively doubles the mixing and crumbling effect.

MixIn improves economy and agronomy
Traditional shins have always been directed upwards with a slight twist. This directs the soil flow partly backwards since the cultivator is operated at 10-12km/h. With the MixIn shin Väderstad has changed the direction of the soil flow forward and thereby completely changed the way a cultivator performs.
Save diesel with better mixing
Mixing ability is the core work for the cultivator. Throwing the material forward means that it is worked several times, this helps mix the residues better into depth. Another helping solution is the shape of the shin where the radius is reduced slightly. Soil and residues falling down will “unmix” leaving more residues on top, the lower the height, the less unmixing occurs. The reduced radius of the MixIn shin reduces this height. Keeping the soil closer to the ground also saves energy. MixIn can deliver the same mixing result at a shallower depth saving diesel.
Less depth needed for a level field
After a wet year or a crop where the harvesting has been leaving tracks, the field often needs levelling. To level there must be soil brought in the driving direction in a machine. Throwing the soil forward with the MixIn delivers a very good levelling effect superior to conventional shins. This enables diesel savings. A bonus is also a more level field across the working width of the machine since less soil is moved sideways.
Fine tilth
Less clods improve the nutrient uptake by the roots of the following crop. The forward movement of the MixIn shin helps breaking the soil flow (1) and therefore reduces the clod sizes. Additional help is offered by the accelerated speed caused by the angle of the shin, this causes the clods to hit the ground at high speed further crushing them (2).
A guide to the right shin
Just as the points have their matrix, we have also developed a guide to choosing the right shin. With the shin matrix, you can easily choose the right shin based on the working depth you need to work. At the bottom you can see which point each shin can be combined with.
Good to know!
Try a wider shin than point. This increases mixing capacity at low cost.
