1.1 Description of the
Machine
Wil-Rich cultivators are the industry leaders for
strength and performance. They’re designed
for the demands of today’s agriculture with two
hitch options to meet the needs of many farming
operations.
QX2 models are equipped with a oating hitch to
provide accurate depth control in uneven terrain.
XL2 models are equipped with the eld-proven and
time-tested level lift hitch that allows weight transfer
to the tractor. Designed for level eld conditions, this
hitch style creates a seedbed that is planter ready.
1.2 Intended Use
Wil-Rich Field Cultivators are intended to be used
as secondary tillage option that provides consistent
tillage across the width of the machine. The Split-the-
Middle shank pattern eliminates residue windrowing
and decreases plugging. The design also maximizes
sweep life and provides superior incorporation of
fertilizer and chemicals.
All references to “LEFT” and “RIGHT”, as used
throughout this manual, are determined by
facing the direction of the machine’s normal
forward travel when in use.
WARNING! Some pictures in this Operator’s
Manual show the machine with shields
removed to better show the subject of the
picture. The implement must NEVER be operated with
any of the shields either opened or removed. Ensure
that ALL shields are attached, closed and in good
working condition prior to operating the Wil-Rich
implement.
