The Optimer 9000L/XL (9.0m) and 12000L/XL min-till stubble cultivators are the first Kuhn
machines to come standard with Steady Control. The system is designed to maintain a uniform
working depth at speeds up to 15km/hr in all conditions.
Exerting equal pressure across the full working width, the system compensates for ground contours by adjusting the pressure across the five sections to ensure the discs all cut to a consistent depth. “This will help larger farmers and contractors to cover the ground faster and more consistently,” says product specialist Edd Fanshawe.
Designed to improve the management of residue such as maize stalks, and cover crops, there are five different roller options. The SH600 small seed drill with a 600-litre capacity hopper can be added to smaller widths to enable stubble cultivation and cover crops or cereals to be sown in a single pass.
Steady Control is not yet available on the smaller 6.0m Optimer 6000L/XL and 7.5m 7500L/XL models.
