When do you choose the KUHN OPTIMER XL instead of the OPTIMER L?

The KUHN OPTIMER XL is designed for operations requiring more intensive tillage and the incorporation of larger quantities of crop residues. The 620 mm discs allow working up to 15 cm deep, whereas the OPTIMER L range uses 510 mm discs and is geared towards shallower tillage.

Choosing between the two ranges depends mainly on the working depth aimed for and the volume of plant residue in the plot.
