Väderstad has acquired the full range of inter-row cultivators made by Danish company Thyregod. The acquisition includes all intellectual property rights to the business’ machines that fall into that market segment, with Väderstad taking over the responsibility for the inter-row cultivator business from June 1, 2023.
Originally founded in 1918, Thyregod has been developing, producing and selling inter-row cultivators for the past 25 years. Väderstad has moved to purchase that part of the business because they are a perfect match to the Swedish manufacturer’s current portfolio of Tempo planters and to its new technologies for seeding within the Proceed concept and for future sustainable and efficient farming.
Thyregod’s TRV technology has been optimised to the last detail, with a patented section lift, countless adjustment options and the world’s first camera-controlled inter-row cultivator with individual frames that are each controlled by a camera.
The company’s TRV Swingking has a unique frame solution that holds two frames into one main frame. This improves efficiency and saves a pass. Also, the high main frame together with a patented solution for lifting the row units, avoids damaging plants while increasing speed.
“Our new and existing farmer customers will increasingly use inter-row crop cultivators and it’s essential that we include them in our product range,” Vaderstad UK’s sales and marketing manager, Andy Gamble, said. “We’ve already identified that, in the future, many of our Tempo farmers will move to more mechanical solutions for weed control.
“As there’s usually a challenge to match an inter-row cultivator to a seeding machine, Väderstad can now offer farmers a complete solution. Adding an inter-row cultivator to our product range also optimises our future Proceed concept in cereals.”
Initially, the inter-row cultivators will be sold under the Thyregod brand, and manufactured at Thyregod’s production facilities in Denmark. From June 2024, they will carry the Väderstad name.
