Shredding improves the decomposition of crop residues. A satisfying result is achieved, if the majority of residue left is less than 5cm long, the shredding height is uniform and the residue is distributed regularly over the soil after shredding. With KUHN shredders, you can count on proven solutions to achieve these requirements. They are efficient machines designed to shred crop residues, straw, maize and sunflower stalks, fallow and pasture land.
