2026 Vaderstad Rapid A 600-800C 600C

The seed drills in the Rapid A 600-800C product family have pneumatic seed transport and a very high drilling capacity. All models have an extensive hopper capacity of 6000 liters, divided between two compartments. The Rapid A 600-800C combines impressive capacity with easy maneuvering and great results.

Rapid is a seed drill that carries out seedbed preparation, levelling, drilling and reconsolidation in one pass. It offers a reliable seeding result at high working speed. The simplicity in construction, paired with a high machine quality ensures a long working life and low operating costs. Direct drilling, reduced tillage or conventional tillage – Rapid creates perfect seeding results in all conditions.

Features may include:

The high capacity hydraulically driven metering system Fenix is able to handle all seed sizes in application rates from 1.5kg/ha up to 500kg/ha, without having to change any parts. This means that the metering system will never be a limiting factor for high rates and high speed drilling on the field.

The big hopper has an adjustable dividing wall that separates its two sections. An integrated hydraulic auger meters the fertiliser from the back of the hopper, directly into the airflow of the fertiliser distributor head. To offer full versatility, the auger may be reversed so that all seeds are transported to the front of the hopper, where it is metered out by the Fenix metering system. This makes it possible to for Rapid A 600-800C to enable seed-only application.

To be able to instantly adapt to varying soil structure or differing conditions in the field, Rapid A 600-800C can be equipped with the unique depth control system Interactive Depth Control (IDC). The system enables fine-tuning of the seeding depth with 1mm accuracy on the move. Combined with the possibility to alter the seed rate, the driver is constantly in full control of the seeding operation.

The pivot packer carries part of the load, and thanks to the quick-turn linkage, the machine is incredibly responsive. Because of this design, the turning radius is impressively small despite the size of the machine. This allows for shorter headlands and maximised utilisation of the full potential of the field. The narrow transport width of 3m further allows fast and safe transport.

For maximised uptime in the field, the hopper has a very big opening, resulting in fast filling. The large side-platform provides full access to the entire hopper. The hopper cover is quickly opened from the ground, thereby saving time in hectic periods on the farm.

As standard Rapid A 600-800C is equipped with half-machine shut-off. The system is activated from the cab. Using on irregular fields offers the potential for great savings. Farmers who regularly use half machine shut-off appreciate the fact that they can save up to 5% seed and fertiliser, whilst at the same time ensuring the crop get the best start possible.

Väderstad SeedEye is a unique system for seed counting and seed monitoring. With SeedEye farmers can easily set the number of seeds per square metre, without the need for calibration. SeedEye ensures excellent seeding results with full control.
