CrossCutter Disc Aggressive
The newest addition to the CrossCutter Disc family, the CrossCutter Disc Aggressive is developed for challenging field conditions. With its unique shape and sharpened TrueCut cut outs, CrossCutter Disc Aggressive excels in hard soils and in heavy residues where soil penetration might otherwise be an issue. All while still working ultra-shallow and moving substantially less soil than a conventional disc.
CrossCutter Disc Aggressive
- Milled cut-outs retain their shape for longer
- More aggressive on heavy residues, such as silage maize, heavy oilseed rape stalks and sunflower stubble
- Greater penetration capacity in heavy soil and hard ground conditions
- All discs are developed, tested and manufactured at our own factory
- Made from high-quality Swedish V-55-steel
- Lifetime warranty against cracksLifetime warranty against cracks
When should you choose a particular type of CrossCutter Disc
Väderstad introduced the CrossCutter Disc in 2017, revolutionizing ultra-shallow tillage. With this technology, work can be done at a depth of only 2–3 cm, instead of the previously possible 5 cm. This saves about 2 liters of diesel per hectare and increases the machine’s capacity.
The soil thrown up by the CrossCutter Disc creates resistance that slows down the disc’s rotational speed. In addition to the rotating motion, a ”planing” function also occurs, improving cutting. For best results, the CrossCutter Disc should be used at speeds of between 15 and 20 km/h.
Notches that increase penetration The CrossCutter Disc Aggressive has serrated notches that reduce the contact area with the ground, increasing the pressure per centimeter of steel in contact with the surface. This ensures good penetration even under difficult conditions, making it the perfect choice for heavier soils or where maintaining working depth is challenging. The serrated design is also more effective against crop residues, shortening the decomposition time.
A positive side effect of the notches is that the disc distributes crop residues better lengthwise, reducing problems with uneven straw distribution after the combine.
- Full cutting at ultra-shallow working depth
- Less fuel – higher speed
- Excellent with rapeseed stubble
- Compost covering of cover crops
- The versatile disc
- One disc – one arm
The contact area decreases with notches.
Cover crops boosts soil health and yield potential
In the case of cover crops an early establishment is crucial to maximize the potential of the crop in terms of contribution to soil health. A fully established cover crop returns more nutrients to the soil from nitrogen fixation, adds more organic matter, improves soil structure and stimulates greater microbial activity; these benefits are all carried forward into the next growing season and the following crops.
Make sure to benefit from the cover crops potential When breaking a fully grown cover crop, a full cut out at ultra-shallow tillage depth provides high capacity and great agronomic benefits. Working intensively at a depth of 0-3 cm crushes and mulches the cover crop without mixing the plant residues into an oxygen-free environment further down the soil profile. After the first pass, the stems of the cover crops are crushed and microorganisms get access to the biomass to do their work.
This breaks down the cover crop completely and gives the full potential to benefit the soil structure as well as minimize some risks in the following main crop.
Increase yield potential by maintaining good field hygiene
Field hygiene is centred around the management of waste seeds after harvesting maize, canola or cereals where the aim is to get the whole seed bank to germinate and the plant residues to start decomposing as soon as possible. A reduced seed bank improves the competitive advantage of the next crop and can reduce the cost of herbicides.
Many waste seeds and weeds are triggered to germinate by sunlight. If buried too deeply, they can remain in a dormant state for many years and then germinate and grow during tillage, requiring weed treatments. By giving the waste seeds and weeds good soil contact with good access to sunlight, an ultra-shallow tillage provides a certainty that they will all germinate in the false seedbed, when you want them to germinate, not years later. The emerged false seedbed can then be broken with a second tillage and give the next crop a clean top layer of soil.
Improve conditions for soil life The biological soil life such as earth worms, soil microbes are crucial in building soil health. Soil life helps out with everything from nutrient efficiency, building soil structure, keeping moisture, infiltration, protection against insects, diseases and stress. Ultra-shallow tillage in the dry topsoil layer leads to minimal losses of earthworms and the breaking of capillarity done with ultra-shallow tillage retains moisture in the lower soil layers making earthworms and other soil life more active. Leaving plant residues in the upper soil layers also favours earthworm activity, as it increases the rate of decomposition and at the same time gives the earthworms access to the plant residues on the surface, which in turn increases the organic content of the soil and provides the subsequent crop with a better environment and vegetation.
TrueCut – sharpened to perfection
Väderstad TrueCut discs have milled cut-outs, resulting in an extremely uniform edge around the whole disc. This gives extremely consistent cutting results around the entire disc.
- The discs retain their shape and aggressiveness throughout their lifetime
- Sharper edges in cut-outs
- Efficient cutting and mixing over time
- Because the bolt holes are drilled instead of punched, cracking is counteracted during the manufacturing process
- All discs are developed, tested and manufactured at our own factory
- Made from high-quality Swedish V-55-steel
- Lifetime warranty against cracksLifetime warranty against cracks

Optimal reconsolidation
The aim of seedbed reconsolidation is to create good contact between seed and soil in order to provide an optimal supply of water, nutrients and oxygen to seeds and roots.
Too little reconsolidation results in loose soil around the seed and can lead to less capillary transport of water, because the pores are too large. This means that the soil round the seed can become too dry, resulting in uneven germination when seeds dry or sprouts wilt. On the other hand, too much reconsolidation means that the large pores are compressed and become less effective at draining away excess water and transporting oxygen to the seeds and carbon dioxide from them. This can lead to oxygen deficiency, which kills the roots.
The optimal reconsolidation of a seedbed results in soil consisting of around 50% solid material, with 50% pores. In the ideal case, half the pores are filled with water, half with air. However this varies widely depending on how much rain has fallen, the structure of the soil and how it is tilled.
Optimized performance and economy
The V-55 mark on the genuine discs guarantees Väderstad’s high-quality Swedish steel. The number 55 represents the hardness measured in the unit Rockwell C HRC. This unique material structure makes it possible to push the hardness level from industry standard HRC 47-48 to HRC 55, while still preserving the toughness.
- V-55 has a perfect combination of hardness and toughness.
- This balance gives the disc a longer working life
- All Väderstad’s discs are developed, produced and tested by Väderstad
- Having our own production, we are the only manufacturer with 100 percent control of the final products
- Väderstad offers a lifetime warranty on all genuine discs. This provides a cost control where you only need to keep track of normal wear.
Why is residue management important?
Well-managed residues can be an important asset in farm management. If residues are poorly managed, they can create challenges both for subsequent field operations and for the upcoming crop.

Good to know!
Change bolts when you change discs!
The seal between the hub and the disc ensures that no moisture will enter the bearing. New bolts secures perfect tension offering a firm attachment for the disc’s entire lifetime. An additional benefit is that the bolts heads will stay in good shape making removal easier. Therefore it is recommended that you also change your bolts when you are changing the discs.
