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.

I’ve spent a lot of hours behind different precision drills and the Tempo feels like it was built around keeping the seed stable at speed. The airflow pushing seeds down the tube sounds like a small detail, but in practice it cuts down doubles/skips when the machine shakes around. On slopes too, it holds spacing better than the old gravity drop style.

What I actually notice day to day: closing wheels choice matters. If you mess around with narrow wheels on small seed in lighter ground, you can mark the row and expose seed. The wider 50 mm wheels fix that. The toothed closing wheel option helps when the slot wants to stay open, like dry/no-till conditions. I’ve run one toothed and one standard wheel and it’s a decent combo.

Maintenance wise, it’s not scary, but you need to be the kind of person who keeps software updated and follows the calibration steps. The manuals/videos inside iControl are useful, I’ll give them that.

Got some seat time on a new Solitair MR hooked with a Zirkon MR. If you’ve ever fought a combo where changing the harrow ruins your sowing depth, this one avoids that. Their mounting setup actually keeps the two jobs separate.

The drill itself places seed very consistently. Those depth control rollers behind the discs do their job, seed sits where you set it, even when the soil changes across the bout. Row spacing options (12.5/15) are normal enough.

MultiHub is a neat add-on if you do small seeds or want a second product. You can drop it through the existing lines or use the baffle plate in front/behind the harrows. I like having the choice, but yeah it’s another thing to calibrate.

Comfort-wise, hydraulic adjustments on the Zirkon (levelling bar, working depth) save time. You still need to pay attention, but you’re not hopping in and out as much.

Got seat time on a pair of Tempo F8s in a decent sized operation. They pulled with John Deere 6150M and 6155M, and that combo just works. The main win is you can cover ground fast without trashing your placement. We didn’t even try to max it out, 16 km/h was enough and it still hit depth and spacing like it should. Mixed feeling: the speed tempts guys to push harder than they need, and then you start watching the field conditions more than the clock anyway. Still, for straight up control of the sowing job at speed, it’s hard to complain.
