Wil-Rich Wil-Rich 657 DCR

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 Wil-Rich 657 improves seedbed preparation, enhances water infiltration, and promotes healthier root growth.

Versatile and customizable 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 7½ in from the shanks 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. This machine is perfect for farmers looking to prepare their fields for planting by effectively managing crop residue.

Discs or coulters for residue management
Choose between concave discs or straight coulters. The concave discs are 22 inches in diameter, allowing for a maximum working depth of 5 in. They are spaced 15 in apart and are offset from the shanks. The straight coulters are offset and indexed to the shanks for a 7½ in working pattern. The front discs/coulters can be hydraulically raised and lowered for varying residue conditions.

Shovels for efficient residue mixing
Three ranks of heavy-duty shanks are engineered to mix in residue, loosen soil, and shatter compaction up to 10 in deep. Choose between four types of shovels: spike, chrome straight spike, or twisted concave spike (left or right). They are designed to efficiently bury and mix crop residue, enhancing the decomposition process. This ensures that residue is thoroughly incorporated into the soil, improving soil structure and fertility.

Trips engineered for strength and durability
Wil-Rich 657 trips are engineered for maximum strength and durability to minimize downtime, with an industry-leading trip pressure of 1,400 lbs. The high trip pressure helps maintain depth in tough soil conditions while preventing damage from rocks or other obstructions.

Strong and stable frame
The Wil-Rich 657 features a 4 x 6 x ⅜ in tubular frame that provides strength and stability. The large 16 x 4 in main frame supports the overall structure, ensuring durability and reliable performance in various soil conditions.

Rigid hitch for consistent performance
The Wil-Rich 657 DCR features a rigid hitch that keeps the front and rear of the machine level, ensuring consistent performance and ease of use. It offers Cat. III, IV, or V tongue options for 1½ in, 2 in, or 2¾ in diameter pins, providing flexibility to match various tractor setups.

Walking tandem wheels for enhanced stability
The walking tandem wheels on the Wil-Rich 657 are designed to support the machine's movement and stability, contributing to its ability to handle tough soils and high residue conditions. Careful placement of shanks around the wheels minimizes plugging, ensuring smooth operation and making it a reliable tool for effective soil management.

Optional single truck tires can be added to the Wil-Rich 657 to excel in wet conditions. These tires provide additional traction and stability, ensuring the machine performs effectively even in challenging soil conditions.

3- or 4-bar coil tine harrow for an ideal seedbed
The 3- or 4-bar tubular harrow is equipped with five adjustable tooth angles. These settings enable users to set the harrow's aggressiveness based on soil conditions and the level of residue present. The tines measure 5/8 inches in diameter and are available in lengths of either 26 in or 30 in, depending on the attached tool.
