Size Matters: Chisel Pro — 61 cm Disc Diameter and 635 kg Downforce on Each Leg for Effective Tillage
The Wil-Rich 483 Chisel Pro combined unit from Väderstad is the best solution for primary tillage even after high-yield crops that leave behind a large amount of residue.

The combined design of the unit and its wide range of adjustment options allow for a broad spectrum of tasks including chopping plant residues, tilling the soil, and leveling the field in just one pass, making the Chisel Pro an ideal chisel cultivator for quality soil processing.
At the front, the Wil-Rich 483 Chisel Pro is equipped with paired spherical discs featuring fine “teeth” that thoroughly chop plant residues into small pieces, facilitating faster decomposition.
The discs are among the largest in the industry, with a diameter of 61 cm and spaced 38 cm apart. The second row of discs is staggered, resulting in an actual spacing of only 19 cm between each disc pass.
Following the disc batteries are four rows of powerful tillage legs that effectively loosen the soil, breaking up compacted layers to a depth of up to 25 cm. To prevent clogging, the spacing between legs in a row is 152 cm, ensuring free flow of soil mass and plant residues. Due to the staggered arrangement of the legs, the actual distance between each leg pass is only 38 cm. The clearance in working position is 81 cm.
This design guarantees a higher quality of field processing compared to traditional disc-leg units.
Moreover, the leg working components are attached to the frame of the unit using a reliable and simple mechanism with spring protection. The trip force is 635 kg, which helps maintain the desired tillage depth in challenging soil conditions, preventing damage to the working components and frame structure.
The Wil-Rich 483 Chisel Pro combines the advantages of a disc ripper and a chisel cultivator. It can till the soil to a maximum depth of 25 cm while requiring less pulling force. This allows for the processing of larger areas with high efficiency.
Currently, the company offers units with working widths ranging from 5 to 10.3 m.
