So I've put some time behind the Amazone D9, well, specifically the 31-row version. To be honest, it's got this no-fuss setup that's actually a relief after dealing with more complicated machines. Just grab the settings chart, work the lever, and you're set. I like that I can play around with the row spacing a little and change things up depending on what I’m seeding. The original German build is pretty clear when you look at it - stuff just works as it should. Those single disc coulters (they call them Roteco, if I got it right) run well, especially in wet fields where other drills just make a mess. Minus is, you're not getting any built-in fertiliser application, which means a bit more juggling with equipment if you want to feed as you go, but for seeding it's solid.

We’ve got a Cirrus working alongside our other kit and it’s been steady. The main reason we keep it is simple: it leaves the field looking even. Those wheels/packer sections do a decent job pressing and smoothing, so the seedbed comes out consistent. You can feel it when you come back later, it didn’t leave рыхло patches everywhere.

Breakdowns? Pretty much none in our case. Seven-ish years in and it’s mostly wear parts. The only real repeat thing for us was the wheels and some bolts, plus the scrapers. In mud they pack up, so don’t expect magic there.

Price wise, yeah, it’s up there. But it replaces an extra run, so depending on your setup it can make sense.

I've had the chance to work with the Amazone D9 and here's my impression. The single-disc coulter system does a decent job in ensuring good seed placement. The clear distinction between sections for grain and small seeds is handy. However, operating the adjustment levers could be smoother for ease during settings. Overall, it's a reliable tool for minimal soil preparation techniques.

Had the Amazone Cirrus out on about 200 acres of winter crop, mostly barley and wheat. Switched from a competitor’s older drill, this one’s a step up in terms of getting settings dialed in quick-three screws, marked clear, have all the depths matched up in no time. Not really had to touch the wheels, low fuss there. Depth control’s bang on, seed goes in same whether you’re behind the wheels or not. Only thing is, it’s only our first full spring run with it, so hoping that reliability keeps up long term, haven’t seen enough wear yet to say for sure. All the preloading and calibration you can do right outside-big time saver and doesn’t break up your rhythm. Been liking the strong frame too, nothing’s bent or out of line yet.

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.

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.

Been running the Cirrus with that Minimum TillDisc a few times this season. First off, the fuel savings caught my eye - easier to pull, smooth going even when it's damp. I like that you don't have to rip up a ton of soil and toss big clods around, makes things less messy. Options for row setups are handy. Only thing is, setting the disc height can be fiddly at first, I needed a few tries to get it right. As for residue, it slices through the green stuff pretty clean. Haven't had any breakdowns so nothing to report on reliability yet, seems solid, but not gonna say it's flawless. Comfort's not really a factor with this kind of kit, but no complaints from me.

Used the Cirrus mostly in the spring, right after spreading fertilizer. Runs fine over prepped soil, I haven’t tried direct seeding into stubble though. I like the working width - covers ground quick, and the packer really firms things up. The only letdown is those plastic parts behind the discs, yeah, same scrapers everyone talks about, they tend to gum up if it’s sticky out. Not the end of the world, but you spend time cleaning instead of driving. Never had any major breakdowns. Wheels did wear a bit on our sandy fields, replaced them twice, so I’d keep spares handy. For convenience, this setup really helps with less passes over the field, less fuel, less time.

Been running the Cirrus for this first season on spring barley and winter crops after we switched from our old red drill to this green one. Gotta say, the thing is pretty solid build wise, not had any bits rattling off or anything. The disc system at the front's different to what I'm used to, just cuts a narrow slot, but actually, when the ground got a bit sticky, still got good seed coverage. Setup's simple enough, three screws for adjusting depth, just count the turns. I don't have to mess with the wheels at the back anymore, which is a plus. It's definitely saving us some time. Still pretty early days, so can't say it's perfect-little bit of a learning curve versus what we ran before and we'll see how it all looks end of season, but it's doing the job so far.

I’ve run a few seeders and the Amazone D9 is simple to use. Single-disc openers (the Roteko-style ones) feed seed cleanly through telescopic tubes. You can run it pretty fast and it still meters well, even in wetter ground it holds moisture and places seed where it should. Setup is basic - use the factory table and the lever to set rate, there’s a wheel key for fine changes. Hydraulics let you shut off sections which I like for headlands. It’s mostly original parts, tires and working bits look solid on this unit. Needs oiling before work, but that’s normal. Not perfect - it’s used and you should check things yourself - but overall it’s easy to work with and predictable in the field.
