The Swedish manufacturer has acquired the full product range of inter-row cultivators made by the Danish manufacturer.
Described as a perfect match to Väderstad’s current portfolio, initially, the TRV (3.0m to 9.0m) and TRV Swingking (12m and 18m) will be sold under the Thyregod brand and continue to be manufactured in Denmark.
There will be a transition period during the next few months and Väderstad will take over the responsibility for the hoe business on June 1. From June next year, they will carry the Väderstad brand. More details about this will be announced prior to Agritechnica in November.
“Our new and existing farmer customers will increasingly use inter-row crop cultivators and it is essential that we include them in our product range,” says Väderstad UK’s sales and marketing manager Andy Gamble. “We have already identified that in the future many of our Tempo farmers will move to more mechanical solutions for weed control.
“As there is usually a challenge to match an inter-row cultivator to a seeding machine, Väderstad can now offer farmers a complete solution,” he continues. “Adding an inter-row cultivator to our product range also optimises our future Proceed concept in cereals.”
Thyregod’s roots go back to 1918. It has made inter-row cultivators for more than 25 years.
