The spiral design is made with 1 x 9.8 cm (3/8 x 4-1/8 in) plow share steel to penetrate the ground up to 10 cm (4 in), breaking up clods, incorporating chemicals, and leveling the top of the seedbed. Self-aligning bearings on the cutter reel are triple lip sealed with a guard to protect from dirt and residue.
Shanks for optimal furrow shaping
The 12-row Wil-Rich 1500 Series has shanks with furrow shovels located in front of and behind the cutter reel for a clean and well-shaped furrow. The shanks can be adjusted to either align between the rows or one in between and one on the row to work existing beds with a sweep.
Double conditioning baskets for enhanced soil conditioning
The Wil-Rich 1500 Series features double conditioning baskets, with a flat bar basket in the front and a round bar basket in the rear. This setup reduces clod size, levels, and firms the soil, optimising the seedbed for even germination and emergence. The spring-mounted baskets ensure consistent field finishing, helping farmers achieve a well-prepared seedbed for better crop establishment and growth.
