Excellent agronomic performance

A secondary tillage pass can be crucial for achieving a leveled surface, smooth operation of the sowing unit, and maximum effectiveness of soil herbicides. It also aids in creating an ideal seedbed, ensuring uniform emergence, and controlling weed seedlings to prevent interspecific competition. Give your crop the best chance to thrive while minimizing risks with the Wil-Rich XL2 field cultivator.

The industry standard

Prepare a seedbed, mechanically control weeds, and incorporate fertilizer or herbicides with the Wil-Rich XL2 field cultivator. It’s engineered to produce a consistent field finish, so you can grow a more uniform crop. The Wil-Rich design has proven itself over many years of use, becoming known as the industry standard in field cultivators. The reliable A-hitch is the standard hitch style on the XL2 field cultivator. It includes a weight transfer kit, which shifts weight onto the hitch to improve towing stability.

Thorough tillage performance without plugging

To achieve consistent results with a field cultivator, no strip of soil should be left untouched. However, if the shanks are spaced too closely together, the cultivator can plug up or create windrows of residue. That’s why Wil-Rich engineered a split-the-middle shank pattern on the field cultivator.  Shanks on each rank work in the middle of the untilled area left by the preceding shanks. This ensures consistent tillage across the width of the implement without plugging or windrowing issues.

SIngle spring

Single spring shanks for shallower depths and finer tillage

The single-spring shank is perfect for shallower working depths and achieving finer tillage performance. It provides excellent ground following capabilities with 68 kg (150 lbs) of trip pressure.

Double spring

Double spring shanks for tougher conditions and deeper tillage

The double-spring is a better choice for tougher ground conditions or deeper tillage needs. It features 136 kg (300 lbs) of trip pressure.

Gauge wheels engineered for better performance

The open design of the caster gauge wheels on the Wil-Rich XL2 helps prevent them from negatively affecting tillage performance. As a result, operators experience minimized plugging with greater stability both in the field and on the road. Additionally, they offer easy maintenance, allowing more time to be spent in the field.

Quick, easy adjustments

Need to adjust the tillage depth on the fly? Single-point depth control allows operators to adjust the working depth for the entire implement from a single location, instead of having to make manual adjustments at each gauge wheel. Manual gauge wheel adjustments required on 30-39 & 32-42.
