Consistent agronomic excellence
Väderstad Marathon
The Väderstad Marathon points are reinforced with tungsten carbide. They ensure a consistent work result, leading to the optimal conditions for crop establishment, maximizing the yield potential. With an even soil structure, root development is given the best conditions to access nutrients and water.
Väderstad Marathon points fits perfect with the Väderstad MinIn shin giving an effective soil flow and correct mixing.
Maintained depth and mixing
Since the tungsten carbide is placed at the tip of the point, they maintain a consistent working depth and working width throughout the full lifespan, and the amount of material mixed remains the same. This is only obtained when fitting Väderstad Marathon points with Väderstad MixIn shin.
8-10 times longer working life saves time...
Thanks to the durability of the Marathon you spend less time in the workshop, and no points needs to be changed during the season. This means that you can spend more time in field, when the conditions are at it’s best. This is even more important in tough seasons with extra short windows of opportunity.
...and money
The longer working life ensures better economy. Marathon saves fuel by maintaining a sharp point that moves easily through different soil conditions, always having the optimal soil-breaking angle. Uneven points result in unnecessary soil flow, leading to higher fuel consumption. And again, the hours spent in the workshop, changing points, can be heavily reduced and used for something more productive.
Flat surface for a good reason
All Marathon points have a perfectly flat surface, similar to the body of a plough. This optimizes the soil flow while minimising resistance and diesel consumption.
A patented solution for stone resistance
The Marathon tungsten carbid is folded around the tip of the point. This gives it a very thick base where forces are diverted in two directions, thus making it very stone resistant.
An additional benefit is that it also prevents wearing of the point from underneath which would otherwise eventually crack the hard metal.
Let your soil determine your point
To maximise the roots available space, great care should be taken to soil type when selecting points for the cultivator. While the heavy soil can rely on its structure, a lighter self-compacting soil needs a complete loosening to create optimal conditions for the next crop.
Heavy soils with structure
Compaction layers need to be broken and focus should be set on creating a fine crumbled surface. If the structure and amount of residues allows for it, a thinner point works fine in the heavy soil. In wet years always choose a thinner point to minimise negative impacts on soil structure.
Self-compacting soils
During the vegetation period the self-compacting soil collapses, thereby decreasing the space available for root nutrient and moisture uptake.The wider points delivers a complete loosening, full mixing and aeration of the soil profile.
Choose point and shin depending on the result you need
To achieve a proper mixing the volume of soil that we bring up is crucial. The amount of soil determines how much residues that we can incorporate and to what depth. When determining mixing the equation is simple, tighter row distances and wider points gives more soil volume. Thinner points will improve the material throughflow and reduce the power requirement when going deeper.
