NZ Extreme passes 1 500 hectares in Slovakia

The heavy-duty tine harrow Väderstad NZ Extreme is undergoing long-life testing in Slovakia this spring. The NZ Extreme 1425, which was transported to Slovakia directly from Agritechnica last year, is now passing 1 500 hectares in the field. 

During the last weeks the 14.25 metre heavy-duty tine harrow NZ Extreme 1425 has been performing seedbed preparation prior to sugar beet and maize planting in Slovakia. This is the same machine which was exhibited at the agricultural tradeshow Agritechnica in November last year. 

– The heavy-duty tine harrow NZ Extreme 1250-1425 sets a new standard for field performance when it comes to seedbed preparation. Its innovative high-quality design brings capacity and agronomic solutions to the farm, says Mattias Hovnert, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing, at Väderstad. 

– The NZ Extreme 1425 has now passed 1 500 hectares in the field, and the results are looking very good. According to the plan, the machine will harrow 4 000 hectares in Slovakia and Czech Republic this season, he continues. 

When the final field testing is completed, the manufacturing of NZ Extreme 1250-1425 will start in 2021, with the ambition to be in full production during the end of the year.
