Kuhn prolander

Is anyone running one of these as a primary stubble cultivator on heavy land? I am looking for something like a Horsch cruise but without the cost. The Kuhn looks less substantially built, but has a higher trip force per leg than the Horsch. I am only looking to work 50-75mm deep. 50mm in the first pass and 75mm in the second.

Thanks

Wouldn't the Kuhn Cultimer be a better option? I had a demo of the Prolander a couple of months ago pulling down maize land, and wasn't all that impressed.

It's quite a light spring tine, in a dry summer on heavy ground I don't think it will have the penetration. As above a Cultimer or similar with a stronger leg is more versatile, shallow cultivators are great but struggle to remove surface compaction etc.
