Got to use the Tempo L 16 last few weeks on corn. Setting up the downforce feels precise, you just hit the button and every row keeps that seed right where it needs to go. Appreciate how easy it folds for transport because some of my fields are a real patchwork, lots of poles and weird corners. Don't love how much tech is packed in, feels like if something goes weird it's all sensors and wires, but it hasn't failed me yet and Väderstad service is pretty quick to help out if I call. Seed hoppers hold a decent load, less stops, that's a plus. Comfort's fine in use, only thing is for smaller guys climbing up to check the bins is a bit of a stretch - made me wish for one more step. Overall, it's solid for what it's built to do, just hope repairs stay simple.

Having tried out the Amazone D960 from 2013 recently, I noticed its condition is remarkably intact for its age. Everything's preserved well, and it's complete, ready to hit the field. No visible welds or patchwork, making it a reliable choice for consistent use. The rubber parts seem minimally worn, showing almost new conditions, which is impressive. The onboard computer integration adds significant convenience, making it easier to monitor operations. However, I found the reservoir's condition quite commendable. Although minor scuff marks can be seen, it's not a major concern. Overall, solid equipment for practical use.

Been running a Compact-Solitair 9/400 HD (4 m) for a couple seasons now, similar setup with a 200+ hp tractor. The main thing I like is it does the whole routine in one pass: light till, pack, fert, seed. When spring turns into a race, that matters more than fancy talk.

Seeding accuracy is solid for a pneumatic unit. We see the rate staying pretty close (it doesn’t wander when you change rates), and the tramline shutoff is done the right way: seed that gets cut off goes back to the tank, it doesn’t dump extra into the open rows. Depth control is consistent too, the OptiDisc units with the gauge wheels just hold it.

Fuel use is low for what it’s doing. And maintenance is basically grease points and that’s it, lots of sealed bearings.

Two small annoyances: the outer disc on the harrow can toss some soil onto the already seeded strip, and the hectare-measuring wheel can pack up with mud when it’s wet and you get a bit of error unless you keep an eye on it.

Been running the Cirrus-СС this season, mostly for spring wheat. One thing I noticed right away: handling multiple operations in one pass is actually handy. Saved me loads of time, less fieldwork, and I didn’t feel so drained. The twin disc setup’s no joke, you can feel the difference in how even the seed hits the ground. Controls are alright, takes a bit to get used to, but nothing crazy. Only thing I wasn't thrilled with is you need to switch between Single and Double-Shot setups depending on what you wanna do - I messed up the settings once and it kinda threw off my run. But nothing too dramatic. Maintenance seems normal so far, no random issues yet. Wouldn’t say it’s cheap, but that’s usual for this kind of kit.

Picked up a D9 not long ago, checked it all over before buying and was honestly surprised by the lack of welds or patched up spots. For a 2013, you can barely tell it’s been used, and the markers are right where they should be too. Maybe a bit basic inside the seed box but that’s fine for what I need. Had some minor headaches with the computer settings at first - probably just me pressing the wrong buttons though. Tire wear is practically nothing, which is rare on these. Feels reliable, not fancy, but reliable.

Ran a Tempo F8 behind a JD 6155M last season on sunflower and some corn. The thing is quick, no doubt. We sat around 16 km/h and it still held depth and spacing better than the older kit we had. That’s what I care about most, not chasing some record speed. Hookup with that Deere felt balanced, no weird tugging, just steady pull. Price stings, yeah, but you’re paying for it to place seed right when you’re moving.

Been running the Lemken Solitair 9 for a couple seasons now. The bin is huge which saves me some hassle-can keep at it for hours instead of always stopping to refill. Set up is mostly fine but climbing up to open the bin isn’t always fun, and lining up that grain cart just right sometimes gets on my nerves, especially if you’re in a rush or working solo. On the bright side, the air drill system works slick, makes for even planting and handles different seed sizes way better than my old setup. No real breakdowns yet, but I keep an eye on the tubes for blockages. Wouldn’t say it’s perfect, but gets the job done and keeps my work flow smoother than before.

Been running the new Cirrus Grand for a bit now and yeah, can’t say I miss the old setup. Love messing with the ISOBUS controller, feels much easier to tweak things without busting my back in and out of the cab, plus the outside calibration by the hopper is handy. Those tack rolls and serrated discs do seem to keep the seedbed more even, at least compared to what I’ve seen before. Seed savings are good, never really tracked % before but can see we’re not wasting as much. Only thing, split hopper’s nice but bit of a pain to figure at first.

So here’s what I think after using the Rapid with the Bio Drill for some contracting. Build quality is obvious, thing’s sturdy and nothing wobbles about. Seed distribution is bang on, I’m hitting the rates I set, and the system discs are solid in different soils, even after rain and that crusty layer you get after a dry spell. The E control setup is honestly simple, you don’t need an IT degree, but at first it takes a sec to get your head around all the options. That big hopper makes less stops for topping up, too. Only thing is, the Bio Drill at the back is nearly invisible from the cab - almost took out a fence post once. They should have thought that bit through. Not a huge deal, just something to keep in mind.

So, I've run this Lemken a few times now swapping between barley and some beans. Changing rates is easy with that sectioned metering thing, but actually getting in there to tweak the rollers, especially when it's dusty, is a pain. Can't say I love fiddling with the springs to set coulter pressure, but once it's dialed in, no problems with seed placement. The whole folding/unfolding works smooth. Fan’s noisy but works. Like that there’s a system for tramline shutoff so you’re not wasting seed-just shuts off two coulters, pretty simple. The little bits, like the seed hopper being high up, can be rough at end of the day when you're topping it off after hours. Overall happy, a few things bug me but nothing major.
