Improve seedbed quality and crop emergence
The Wil-Rich 1400 crushes large soil clods, creating finer soil tilth for better seed-to-soil contact. This ensures even emergence and higher yields. Optional shanks, a cutting reel, and spike harrow break up crust, mix soil, and reduce clod size, promoting healthier plants. Leveling boards create an even soil profile for uniform seed placement and early crop vigor.

Crush clods for finer soil tilth
Large soil clods often cause air pockets that can hamper seed-to-soil contact. The Wil-Rich 1400 Series is designed to crush clods and create finer soil tilth. This finish allows planters to do a better job of closing the seed furrow and firming soil around the seed. As a result, farmers can achieve more even emergence, setting the stage for higher yields.
-
Prepare seedbeds ahead of planting
The Wil-Rich 1400 Series is equipped with optional shanks, a cutting reel, and spike harrow to prepare the seedbed by breaking up crust, mixing the soil, and reducing the clod size through the top of the soil profile. This creates ideal conditions for planting all crops to help ensure excellent emergence and promote healthier plants.
-
Level the field finish for a planter-ready seedbed
The Wil-Rich 1400 is equipped with optional tines, cutting shanks, spike harrows, and leveling boards to create an even soil profile. The smooth, level surface provides an ideal environment for planting. It helps ensure seeds are placed in uniform conditions for even emergence and early crop vigor.
Efficient seedbed preparation for extended planting window
By preparing the soil correctly, a planter can operate immediately behind the Wil-Rich 1400 Series, preserving moisture and extending the planting window. This seedbed finisher is built for both raised seedbeds and flat or rolling ground, featuring the heaviest cutter reel to penetrate the ground effectively.
Shanks for better penetration
Optional shanks on the Wil-Rich 1400 Series penetrate the ground to break up the soil. These shanks work well on flat ground, ensuring better soil preparation and improved crop emergence.
Cutting reel for efficient soil pulverization
The cutting reel on the Wil-Rich 1400 Series pulverizes the ground to mix soil and incorporate chemicals accurately at the required depth. This balanced and heavy cutter has self-aligning bearings, ensuring efficient soil pulverization.
Spike harrow for smooth ground
The spike harrow on the Wil-Rich 1400 Series drags the soil and breaks up clods to smooth the ground. This feature helps create an ideal seedbed for planting.
Rear leveling board for ideal seedbed
The rear leveling board firms the ground, creating an ideal seedbed. This ensures that the soil is well-prepared for planting, leading to better crop emergence.
Dual walking wheels for stability
Four dual walking wheels with 11L x 15 12-ply tires on 15 x 8 6-bolt rims ensure stability and even weight distribution, making the implement effective in rolling ground. Additionally, the gauge wheels control the depth for consistent soil penetration.
Bearing guards for protection
Bearing guards on the Wil-Rich 1400 Series protect the bearings from debris, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the machine.
