Used the Solitair mainly on heavier soils, and honestly, the two-disc coulters with those scrapers are solid against clogging. I can crank up the down-pressure and get through tough spots without seeing skipping. Noticed the depth wheels give really uniform seeding depth, saves me some stress. The air system’s okay, but if you don’t clean the mesh regularly, it can slow things a bit. Also, the need for high hydraulic oil flow (they say 25 liters per minute) means our older tractor can barely keep up; had to borrow the newer Deere from the neighbor. All said, after adjustment, she performs consistently. Operation isn’t really hard to figure even for a not-so-keen tech guy. Haven’t broke a coulter yet.

After putting the Rubin 10 to work on various tasks, its performance is satisfactory with strong tillage results, although I did notice signs of wear around the attachment points after extensive use. While repair options exist, they can add to operational costs over time. It fulfills its purpose, albeit with noted maintenance considerations.

Got some mixed feelings here. For us the Solitair wins on getting more done with less people. We can cover a lot of ground in a day, and switching up crops isn't a hassle. I do like the independent control of seed and fert, and the fuel usage is low. On the not-so-great side, pnematic seeding isn't as precise as the old-school mechanical ones, though it's not a dealbreaker for us since the difference isn't huge in most cases. The machine itself is big, maybe intimidating at first but everything's designed to go quick - only takes a few lube points and you're back out. Haven't had any breakdowns in almost a year. Just a couple small details, like mud on the sensor wheel throwing off readings, but that's about it. Wish the price was a bit lower, but running costs are good, so I can live with it.

We demo’d one on damp-ish ground and the packing/reconsolidation side of it stood out. Those big staggered tyre packer wheels clean up better than I thought they would, and you still get a uniform finish across the width. If you run the trapezoid packer roller ahead of the discs it leaves a nice firm strip to plant into.

Front end options are useful. The levelling tines/tyre packer up front let you tame ploughed stuff and old winter crop lumps without doing another pass. Adjusting on the go is handy when the paddock changes every 200m.

Only thing I’ll say: it wants a proper tractor. Weight is up there and the power range is real, especially if you’re pushing on. Build feels solid though, Heliodor discs on leaf springs is a good setup and not much daily messing around on the coulters.

I've used the Lemken Rubin 9 for a few weeks now. It's compact and easy to handle, especially for mid-sized fields. The build quality feels robust, particularly with the reinforced frame structure. The half-meter discs perform adequately, cutting through soil efficiently. However, I noticed that the adjustability of certain parts could be improved, making the setup slightly cumbersome in specific scenarios.

Using the Rubin 10 for a season, I noticed improved performance in residue management thanks to disk upgrades. The reduced vibrations due to the enhanced suspension make long hours easier. Compared to older models, the Rubin 10 uses fewer components, simplifying maintenance. That said, the adjustments required for optimal operation could take some trial and error. It processes soil evenly, and parts wear is minimal, even after covering large areas. While not perfect, the Rubin 10 handles various tasks quite well

Employed the Rubin 10 for the spring preparation of a soybean field. The residue handling and surface levelling were up to the task. Operating speed was maintained consistent, and I observed optimal ground engagement. Maintenance tasks, while minimal, were manageable. A reliable addition to our equipment lineup.

Recently tried out the Lemken Diamant, and it's efficient for handling soil with residue. Adjustments to the forward position of certain components greatly helped in preventing blockages. However, when working on sticky soil, some fine-tuning is needed to prevent plugging. It's solid but requires regular spot checks to avoid issues over long hours in the field.

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 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.
