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 tines for shallower depths and finer tillage

The single spring tine option 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, which can be adjusted up to 89.9 kg (198 lbs) for slightly deeper penetration.

Double spring

Double spring for tougher conditions and deeper tillage

The double spring option is a better choice for tougher ground conditions or deeper tillage needs. It offers a pre-set downforce of 136 kg (300 lbs), which can be adjusted up to 181.4 kg (400 lbs). The extra down pressure ensures better penetration in hard-packed soil and is often used behind the tractor wheel tracks to remove compaction.
