Excellent agronomic performance

A well-prepared seedbed is essential for optimal crop emergence and yield. The Wil-Rich 1400 Series Seedbed Finisher enhances soil conditions by breaking up clods, mixing soil, and creating a smooth, level surface. This promotes healthier plants and maximises performance throughout the growing season.

Hand holding finely tilled soil

Efficient seedbed preparation for extended planting window

By preparing the soil correctly, a planter can operate immediately behind the seedbed finisher, preserving moisture and extending the planting window. The Wil-Rich 1400 Series Seedbed Finisher is built for both raised seedbeds and flat or rolling ground, featuring the heaviest cutter reel to penetrate the ground effectively.
