Effective residue management for first tillage
The Wil-Rich 657 is designed for the first tillage pass, effectively managing crop residue and starting the decomposition process. With its robust construction and versatile attachments, this machine significantly improves soil conditions, setting the stage for subsequent tillage and planting.
Fall residue management
The Wil-Rich 657 helps dislodge root balls and bury residue to start the decomposition process, making seedbed preparation more manageable in the spring.
Soil mixing
Specialised tines on the Wil-Rich 657 mix the upper soil profile to help create finer tilth in hard, heavy soils.
Shallow compaction management
The discs and tines on the Wil-Rich 657 can break up compaction layers in the upper soil profile to help improve water infiltration and root growth.
Excellent agronomic performance
Preparing your fields with the Wil-Rich 657 sets the stage for effective soil management. This machine is designed to handle high residue conditions, mix soil for finer tilth, and break up shallow compaction layers. By integrating these tasks into one efficient pass, the 657 Disk Chisel improves seedbed preparation, enhances water infiltration, and promotes healthier root growth.
Versatile and customisable for efficient soil preparation
The Wil-Rich 657 is ideally suited for the first tillage pass in high residue conditions. The split-the-middle design offsets the straight coulters 19 cm (7½ in) from the tines to dislodge root balls and efficiently start the decomposition process. These optional straight coulters can be added to further enhance residue management by cutting through tough crop residue.
