The Väderstad Rapid A 600S is a seed drill manufactured by Väderstad, a Swedish builder of precision drilling and cultivation equipment serving modern grain and arable farming. This machine is designed for efficient, large-scale cereal seeding across substantial acreage.
The drill has a working width of 6 metres, enabling coverage of approximately 6 hectares per hour under typical conditions, or 40–60 hectares per day depending on field and operational variables. The seed tank holds 3,300 litres, sufficient capacity to sow 12–28 hectares per fill when drilling wheat, depending on seeding rate. The machine is equipped with two Fenix seed metering units that distribute seed precisely across the working width. Central depth adjustment is controlled from the tractor cab, and all tool settings can be adjusted smoothly during operation without stopping.
A distinguishing feature of this model is its ability to operate at half working width when required, providing operational flexibility for smaller plots or variable field conditions. For transport, the drill narrows to just 3 metres; the outer sections lock automatically in the vertical position, making it road-legal and easier to manoeuvre between fields. The machine requires tractor power in the range of 180–260 horsepower for proper operation.
This 2002 example is offered in used condition and is located in Poland. The listed price is $11,640 USD.
