Proceed V 24 is a precision seed drill, available with 24 rows and a working width of 6 metres. It operates with either 225 mm or 250 mm row spacing and has a 2,200-litre seed hopper. To enable in-row fertiliser distribution, Proceed V 24 can be combined with the front hopper FH 2200.
The precision seed drill Proceed V can place even the smallest seed at the perfect depth with millimetre precision. The result is a significant improvement in yield potential, while drastically lowering the seed rate.
The strong and even crop development leads to higher output per seed. This is key to maintaining or even increasing the yield level while drastically lowering the seed rate.
The seed singulation and precision allow for drastically lower seed rates.
The benefits of a strong and even plant population are numerous. The ability to optimise treatments throughout the crop year is one of them.
More biomass, shoots per plant, straighter rows and even heights.
Ten weeks after seeding, we already see the rewards of perfect precision at the perfect depth.
Ten weeks after seeding, field trials of winter wheat at a seed rate of 150 seeds/m² show a 102% increase in plant biomass, a 72% increase in root biomass and 62% more shoots per plant compared to a modern seed drill.
Previously, there has been a clear distinction between grain seed drills and precision planters for row crops. Proceed changes this. By merging both technologies into one, it brings the precision of planters to grain crops, while also maintaining the ability to plant at wider row distances. This results in unprecedented crop quality paired with great versatility in farming practices. Proceed sets a new standard in crop establishment.
Proceed can place even the smallest seed at the perfect depth with millimetre precision. The result is a significant improvement in yield potential, while drastically lowering the seed rate.
Proceed delivers exact depth precision, singulated in-row precision and perfect distribution across the working width. To ensure each seed has the same conditions, the row units act individually to optimise the seedbed and growth conditions for each seed. To maximise precision, Proceed is equipped with row-by-row shut-off and control.
By optimising the growth conditions for each seed, Proceed allows for a drastic reduction in the seed rate without decreasing yield. Field trials show that Proceed can maintain the yield level while drastically lowering the seed rate, in many cases reducing it to 50% of the normal rate.

Establishing a crop with a conventional seed drill usually means a certain amount of seeds are lost due to poor field germination. Proceed minimises, or in many cases eliminates these field losses, thereby increasing the efficiency of the seeds used.
Grain yield is primarily built up by three factors: seeds per ear, thousand-grain weight and the number of tillers per plant. With excellent depth precision, bedding and in-row spacing of the seeds, Proceed delivers outstanding results in all these areas.
Strong and even crop development leads to higher output per seed. This is key to maintaining or even increasing the yield level while drastically decreasing the seed rate. Additionally, a high-biomass crop increases carbon storage per plant.
“I am very impressed by the very homogeneous fields I see here, as a result of the accurate depth placement. I believe this will make the crop protection easy over the coming vegetation period.”
-Farmer hosting field trial
The improvements in precision offered by Proceed, compared to a standard seed drill, can largely be attributed to the accuracy of its row units.
Proceed delivers exact seed spacing, uniform seed depth, and no overlap planting on headlands.
Additionally, the planting precision remains consistent, regardless of external factors such as vibrations, slopes, or varying field conditions.

The hydraulically operated pre-consolidation wheels eliminate irregularities and ensure even consolidation for each individual row unit.
The row cleaners remove crop residues, clods, and stones. Each row cleaner is mounted on a parallel linkage, allowing it to precisely follow the field surface.
The stop wheel gently presses the seed into the bottom of the furrow, ensuring maximum moisture access.
To complete the process, the closing wheels ensure optimal closing of the seed furrow.
The Proceed seed meter uses positive air pressure to ensure each individual seed finds its place on the rotating seed discs, one by one. To guarantee top performance, three speed-independent singulators at the top of the seed meter remove any excess seeds.
When the seed reaches the seed tube, the air pressure is cut off, allowing the seed to be accurately placed into the seed tube. The air pressure then resumes control and shoots the seed down to the soil. Since all seeds experience the exact same transport time from the seed meter to the seed furrow, precision is ensured. At Väderstad, we call this PowerShoot technology.
Every component of Proceed is built to ensure the exact same start for all seeds. The even seed placement results in a crop that matures at an even rate and is more likely to reach its full yield potential.
Discover unmatched precision with Proceed. Its advanced seed placement, precise depth control, and GPS-guided row shut-off ensure uniform growth, reduced input costs, and maximised yields.

The Proceed seed meter, together with PowerShoot, guarantees outstanding distribution with extreme accuracy in the seed furrow.
This ensures high plant integrity, giving each seed access to vital resources like moisture, nutrients, space and sunlight. As a result, all plants have the same growing conditions from the start.
Proceed features a heavy-duty design, transferring significant weight to the row units. Combined with its precise depth control using pulled walking tandem gauge wheels positioned close to the seed tube, this ensures a stable ride and consistent seed depth in all conditions.
The result is quick emergence and an exceptionally even crop population with great yield potential.
Each row unit on Proceed is electrically driven, enabling GPS-controlled individual row shut-off. By eliminating overlaps on headlands and irregular field areas, potential yield losses are avoided, while input costs are reduced.
Even if field conditions are potentially uneven in front of Proceed, the pre-consolidation wheels ensure uniform conditions for each row unit.
The hydraulically operated pre-consolidation wheels eliminate irregularities and ensure even consolidation for each individual row unit. This guarantees that each seed is placed under the same conditions, ensuring even seed depth, optimal moisture access, and uniform emergence.

The most important factor for increasing yield potential is seed depth precision. In a field where tillage has produced uneven consolidation, excessive air may be present in parts of the soil profile. After seeding, this air escapes, causing the soil to settle. This means the actual seed depth risks being shallower than intended, reducing yield potential.
The row-by-row pre-consolidation wheels treat each row individually to ensure a well-consolidated profile above every seed. This guarantees excellent seed depth precision, without the risk of future deviations due to soil settling.
In addition to ensuring uniform consolidation above the seeds, the pre-consolidation wheels also provide consolidated soil below the seeds. This ensures that all seeds have access to capillary ground moisture, which is crucial for initiating the germination process. As the pre-consolidation wheels of Proceed follow the ground contour precisely, they restore capillarity uniformly across the working width. Equal moisture access leads to uniform germination and crop emergence.
Proceed delivers a perfectly even crop stand, which is key to reaching full yield potential. Most inputs and actions during the crop year are targeted at specific development stages to ensure maximum efficiency. An even population can be fertilised at the right time, receive crop protection or fungicide at the optimal development stage, and be harvested at peak maturity.
Young plants are sensitive to external factors, such as pests and weed competition. This makes it crucial for all crops to pass this stage as quickly as possible.

Strong plants have a higher winter survival rate. Having the full crop stand at the right stage is key to avoiding crop losses in spots or areas of the field.
An even crop is more competitive against weeds, reducing the need for herbicides and enabling optimal timing. Having all plants at the same development stage when applying herbicides minimises the risk of damaging underdeveloped plants.
To optimise fertiliser efficiency, the timing of application is crucial. An evenly developed crop stand ensures maximum efficiency and allows for the optimum time to apply the application.
To optimise the effect of the fungicide application, the crop needs to be fully developed. A crop stand that reaches the correct development stage uniformly provides ideal conditions for applying fungicides at the right time, thereby maximising the effectiveness of the application.
An even crop stand means that the field will mature and be ready for harvest at the same time. This allows the harvest to be timed to achieve a higher quality crop with optimal protein and moisture content.
Väderstad Proceed has been rigorously tested through several full-scale field trials on various progressive farms across Europe. To assess the results throughout the entire growing period, our trials have been analysed at every stage by independent researchers.

The Proceed V 24 detects its angle in two directions and automatically adjusts to maintain precise operation. For lateral adjustment, crucial in hilly conditions, the machine monitors the position of the parallel linkages of the outer row units and adjusts downforce to ensure even results.
In the driving direction, it actively senses the angle between its two sets of row units. If there’s a deviation, it adjusts the downforce on the pre-consolidation wheels to keep all row units parallel to the ground.
The iPad-based Väderstad E-Control system wirelessly connects to the Väderstad machine, enabling full access to its functions and data. You benefit from user-friendly remote setup, calibration and real-time monitoring and control. E-Control is a fully portable control system, ready to be used whenever and wherever required. When calibrating the Väderstad machine, you can take the iPad out of the tractor and control the calibration from outside.
Combined with the front hopper FH 2200, which features four metering units, the Proceed V 24 can distribute fertiliser in the seed row. This allows starter fertiliser to be placed alongside the seed for early access, boosting the germination process.

"With regards to resource efficiency, the seeding process is the most important. You should give the plant a very good start."
-Professor. Dr. Eike Stefan Dobers, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Applied Sciences Neubrandenburg, Germany
In front of each row unit, there is a pre-consolidation wheel. The pre-consolidation wheels eliminate irregularities and ensure even consolidation for each individual row unit. This ensures that each seed is placed under the same conditions, guaranteeing even seed depth, optimal moisture access, and uniform emergence.
Row cleaners are an optional feature on Proceed. Their task is to remove crop residues, clods, and stones. The demand for row cleaners is significantly higher when operating in no-till conditions or in fields with a large amount of residue.
Floating row cleaners (option)
Each row cleaner is mounted on a parallel linkage, enabling it to precisely follow the field surface. The working intensity is easily configured with a spring, which makes it possible to either add or relieve pressure from the row cleaner. The row cleaner is fitted with a self-cleaning rubber wheel, controlling the depth setting of the high quality spiked row cleaner disc.
Thanks to PowerShoot technology, the Proceed seed meter ensures precise placement of each seed. This level of accuracy is crucial for maximising yield.
In-row fertiliser kit
In combination with the front hopper FH 2200, fitted with four Fenix III metering units, Proceed is able to place fertiliser in the furrow after seed placement. This allows starter fertiliser to be placed alongside the seed for early access, boosting the germination process.
When the seed is planted, the closing wheel closes the seed slot and ensures optimal conditions for germination. Depending on farming requirements, the interface also allows for several industry-standard third-party closing wheel solutions.
Narrow closing wheel 25mm
The task of the closing wheel is to close the seed furrow. The force on the closing wheels can easily be adjusted, and it is also possible to set the closing wheels off-set.
Wide closing wheel 50mm
The wide closing wheel is often used when planting very shallow. This closing wheel can also be used in conventional planting when planting maize and sunflowers.
Treaded closing wheel 50mm
By reducing the risk for crusting, the treaded closing wheel optimises the conditions for shallow planted seeds, such as sugar beets and oil seed rape
Pointed closing wheel
The pointed closing wheel crumbles and breaks the sidewalls to ensure closing of the furrow. Its aggressive characteristics makes it a good fit in heavy soil conditions.
Spiked closing wheel
A spiked closing wheel is often used when direct planting. This closing wheel is also a good option when planting in heavy clay soils.
ProDrain add-on for closing wheel
The ProDrain closing wheel attachment (mounted outside the closing wheel) creates a weatherproof surface.
