Used this model recently during the planting season. Its ability to maintain consistent operation in wet soil conditions is notable. However, a clearer guide for users unfamiliar with the model would be helpful. The telescopic seed tubes ensure uninterrupted seed flow, which is a strong point. In general, well-constructed and functional.

Been running the Väderstad Rapid for a while now after switching over from older seeders. First thing, the setup with the monitor is easy, even for someone like me who's not big on tech. I can set stuff up while standing right next to the drill. Saves a lot of time, less hassle, and I'm not always calling someone for help. We've got some weird, heavy soils here and this machine just powers through without many hiccups. Fewer folks needed too, which is good cause it's hard to get help these days. Only pain is, if things are crazy dry, you gotta still check your settings cause fields can get tricky. Still, it's been a reliable bit of kit.

I’ve been putting the Lemken Solitair through its paces this season. Gotta say, the seed placement accuracy stands out, seeds sit neat, depth’s consistent, even at decent speeds. Set-up was not hard, but you gotta fiddle a bit to get everything spot on your first time out. The seed hopper’s huge, so less time wasted filling up. Haven’t had any big issues with breakdowns yet, though the metering system looks a bit overcomplicated compared to what I’m used to. Controls from the cab were decent, no lag. For the price, I’d say you’re getting solid kit, but it’s not cheap either.

My mate has one of these and I've borrowed it a few times. I dig how the seed and fert compartments can be changed up, makes it handy if you're working different rates or just want the extra volume for seed. The machine’s got enough smarts to keep calibration quick. I did find the land wheel sticking out a bit-nearly caught it in the gate once. Not a fan of the sensor that says you’re out of seed even when you’re not totally empty-kind of misleading, especially with small seed. But all in all, the running costs are low, really didn’t have to mess with it much between jobs. Didn’t clog up on wet corners, tines fixed up the finish alright. I care more about running all day without stupid breakdowns and this Rapid did the job.

Put about 700 hectares through the Amazone Cirrus so far. The single-shoot system is solid, just dumps everything right at the right level, and that new distributor head keeps things even, so I didn’t see any skips or heavy overlaps. That track-firming system they've been pushing actually does help with even stands, way better than what I saw on some older drills. I had a bit of a headache at first with the system setup, not super intuitive, but once set up it ran steady. Didn’t have to tinker much apart from basic greasing. Comfort’s decent in field, no rough jolts, wheels seem to handle turns well. Not much to whine about except maybe setup takes longer at the start.

Honestly, the setting up is where you need to pay attention with the Tempo. You need to hook up all these hydraulic lines and get the electronics paired, and sometimes it feels like you spend as much time getting ready as seeding. But once it's up, it goes smooth. The app on the iPad is handy, you can change pressure settings and check data straight from the cab, though I did have some hiccups updating the firmware once. Maintenance has been pretty standard, nothing broke in a season, just keep up greasing and cleaning sensors. It’s a big machine so transporting can get annoying on smaller roads. Comfort is okay, controls are right there, but it can be a lot to take in till you get familiar with the system.

Used the Rapid 600С last season during one of those super dry springs down south. The seeder actually did alright even when the field prep was... let’s just say rushed and not great. My main thing is, it really handles those patchy, dusty conditions, the kind where you just can’t get the ground perfect. Bonus points for how universal it is - I ran it for cereals, rapeseed, and even threw some sunflowers in, didn’t have to mess around with much. Control is straightforward, the onboard computer is handy to stay close on the seed and fert rates. Still, the price is kinda up there for what you get, but for this kind of flexibility, might be worth it for bigger operations. Wouldn't mind if maintenance bits were a little easier to reach though, I’m always pinched for time.

Ran the Lemken Solitair ST in a few different soil conditions this spring. Swapping between the rollers and the levelling tines is actually pretty straightforward and I got decent results with seed placement every time. The double disc coulters keep depth on point even when I sped up, which saves me time. Big fan of how the seed depth adjustment doesn't mess with coulter pressure, but I do wish there were more clear markings on the controls cause first time setup's a bit of a faff. The large hopper is a bonus, fewer fills, but it's heavy when topped up. Overall, less downtime, more acres done.

I got to use this Lemken Solitair after a demo they brought out in spring. Not every dealer lets you give it a go like that, so props to the guys who did. First off, yeah, it does save diesel. It's not just talk. I tracked around 6-7 liters per hectare with the 220hp tractor, and that's way less than the pile of passes I used to do. It’s not flawless though - the product tank could be bigger, since sometimes I have to reload more often than I’d like when we’re really pushing acres. Still, adjusting the rate for seed and fertilizer is chill, the split tank thing is actually handy. Haven’t needed service yet, but the local support crew seems solid. Rides pretty smooth for hauling on backroads too. Not perfect, but makes my life easier for sure.

Had the Solitair MR on a demo last season matched to a 240 hp tractor, proper bit of kit for bigger jobs. Like how you can tweak the sowing and harrow depths separate, makes it usable for switching soil types on the go. Seemed like almost too many options on the metering and sections at first, bit fiddly to set up if you're not used to this newer gear. Seed placement was bang on most of the time. Maintenance is dead easy-OptiDisc coulter’s basically no work. Would’ve liked if the base tank was a bit bigger but it’s grand with the add-on. Not the smoothest ride in transport but nothing major. Solid all-rounder but definitely a bit of a learning curve if you’re coming off old drills.
