Working with the Diamant model, I noticed significant fuel efficiency improvements due to its near-axle pulling line positioning. The additional options like strip plows and reinforced skimming technology excelled in providing clean turns under challenging soil conditions. Nonetheless, its dependency on properly calibrated tractors might present a slight challenge for newer operators.

I've used the Lemken Diamant primarily for medium to heavy tillage tasks. One of the standout features for me is the functional width adjustment mechanism, which ensures operational precision tailored to varying field conditions. However, I find the bolted last pair of bodies slightly limiting as modifications require planning. Durability of the non-welded frame structure impresses, especially for rugged terrains.

Tested the Rubin 10 on about 1200 hectares, mostly after row crops. Haven’t had any breakdowns which is rare for new kit - that’s a point to Lemken. I like that the disks don't pull the rig sideways anymore. The side wheels help with following ground contours, not thrilled about the way the adjusters work, a bit clunky at times but manageable. Cutter job is good, field’s left smooth enough so I even went straight to seeding small stuff. Maintenance looks straightforward for now, nothing fancy to service. LED lights are just there, not much to say. If the price was lower, I’d be happier, but you know how that goes. Wouldn't mind a couple tweaks, but no big complaints after first season.

Been running the Rubin 10 for about a month on some pretty mixed soils, mostly sunflower and maize leftovers. One thing that stands out is the depth control. That in-cab hydraulic adjustment is super handy, just tweak it from the seat instead of jumping out every time. Holds a pretty steady depth even when the field gets bumpy, which saves a lot of frustration, especially when you want a uniform seedbed. The discs seem tougher than the old model, haven't had any breakages yet, but let’s see how they last over another season. The finish is real fine, almost ready for small seed crops right after, which surprised me. Price is a bit up there, could have been better for what it is, but at least you get ruggedness. Setup took me a minute to get used to, but overall, glad Lemken improved on the old quirks. Not perfect, but feels solid.

I've used the Lemken Rubin 10 for a while now, and here are my thoughts. The mounting design caught my attention-directly welded to the frame. While it holds fine during the warranty period, repairs later can be a bit challenging, as replacement or welding might be required after frequent usage. The overall build is robust, and it does its job efficiently, but consider the potential costs for maintenance.

Been running a Heliodor 9/700 for a while now, using it mainly after harvest for stubble work and before seeding in spring. What stands out for me is how much fuel it saves-my 350 hp Claas pulls it at good speed and I'm covering more ground per shift than I did with my old setup. Handles residue fine, even on wet soils where most other gear just gums up or starts dragging. The discs have a good design, so mud doesn’t stick much. The finish is way smoother too, not a lot of lumps left after a single pass. Ran about 24,000 ha so far and apart from changing some roller bearings (covered by warranty), haven’t had any real downtime. It’ll break up big clods after ploughing but the small discs do wear down with time, so watch out if you’re hitting a lot of stones. Not cheap to buy, but at least you’re not spending much on diesel or repairs.

I've been running the Lemken Rubin 10 for all of spring at our farm, so here's my two cents. The separate discs on stands are a nice touch, didn't see any issues with mud or clogging. What I noticed, the disks cut through old, neglected land pretty easy-even the fields we hadn't touched for several years. That non-stop protection thing works well, saw it hit a rock, spring bounced it back, no stoppage. I like adjusting the depth from the cab, saves time for sure. Wish the machine was a bit lighter though, wouldn’t mind less compaction in some wetter patches. Maintenance is barely anything because of those sealed bearings. Makes the job less of a headache. Price could be lower, but you get what you pay for with the strong build. Not perfect for small tractors, so if you’re under-powered, keep that in mind.

I’ve had the chance to operate the new Lemken Diamant 18, and overall, it delivers some solid performance. The design definitely supports high-powered tractors, and it handles dry, compacted soil effectively. The manual adjustment of the semi-mounted wheel gives you that extra precision when needed. One drawback is the somewhat higher center of gravity; you feel it during tighter turns.

This plow is sturdy but might feel a bit heavy for certain tractors. The mechanism to shift into transport mode is straightforward. I noted that the hydraulic controls are responsive but could use finer adjustment for control. However, its overall functionality meets expectations.

Operating the Rubin 10 has been a productive experience. Its ability to prepare fields evenly is commendable, and it integrates well with high-powered tractors. Maintenance has been straightforward, although monitoring wear on the discs is essential for optimal performance.
