Pre-sowing Cultivators Väderstad Wil-Rich with a Working Width of 12 m in the Field — What the XL2 Models Offer to Farmers
An analysis of the structure of Ukrainian farms and the existing fleet of machinery indicates that the Wil-Rich pre-sowing cultivators with a working width of 12 m are the most balanced choice for domestic farmers. The XL2 series models in this configuration fit perfectly into the operational logic of both medium-sized enterprises and large agricultural holdings, offering maximum efficiency without the need for a complete overhaul of the technical base.

The main factor behind the popularity of machines with a working width of 12 m is their complete synergy with the most common segment of powerful tractors in Ukraine. For stable and quality performance, the XL2 models operate within the range of 350-400 hp. Since these energy sources form the backbone of the tractor fleet in most progressive farms, the introduction of Wil-Rich cultivators does not require additional investments in tractors, allowing for the existing power to be utilized at 100%.
From the perspective of fieldwork, the XL2 series of cultivators impresses with its throughput capacity. Thanks to the staggered arrangement of the tines and the reinforced frame, the unit easily handles large masses of plant residues, which is particularly relevant for Ukrainian fields after corn, soybeans, or sunflowers. At the same time, the QX2 model ensures precise contour following, guaranteeing that the standard working depth is maintained across every meter of the 12-meter working width. This is critically important for creating a uniform seedbed, which affects the evenness of germination in areas with risky moisture conditions.
Choosing a 12-meter Wil-Rich pre-sowing cultivator is a rational approach to scaling production. This width allows for the rapid coverage of large areas within tight agronomic deadlines while maintaining the maneuverability needed to move between fields. Combined with the American durability of the design and Väderstad’s engineering innovations, these cultivators become the most reliable link in the soil preparation chain, ensuring high-quality tillage on heavy Ukrainian black soils with minimal passes.
