Vaderstad had its top-of-the-range Spirit 600S XL on show for the first time at Cereals 2010.

Fitted with a larger 3900-litre hopper (the old one could hold 3740 litres), the new XL version has two distribution heads coupled with two metering units, meaning there’s no need to fit a manual deflector lid when shutting off coulters to double your row width.

This 6m versions costs £74,025, which is £2500 more than a standard model.
