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.

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.

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 Amazone D9 for a couple seasons now. Mine’s a 2013 like this one. What stands out for me is how clean the whole thing still is after all these years, no welded bits anywhere on the frame or markers, and the tires are still basically new. I had it hooked up to my tractor with its board computer, which, ok, took a bit to figure out at first but does the job. Seed hoppers keep their paint like they never saw a grain of seed - looks kinda weird but in a good way. Only thing, wish there was more room around the linkage area when hooking up, feels tight in there sometimes. But yeah, haven’t had much trouble with it otherwise, runs solid every spring.

I’ve got a few seasons on the Tempo L16. What stands out is how little attention it needs. Haven’t swapped a single part after a whole bunch of hectares which is rare for me. Not gonna lie, it handles hills better than I figured. Stays steady at 16-18 km/h, even with some rough ground. Running it with a 350 hp tractor was perfect, maybe overkill on some days, but I like not stressing the engine. Only thing that bugs me is those big fertilizer tanks are a pain to reach if you’re in a hurry. Still, the big capacity means long stretches without refilling, so you kind of forget about that. Overall it’s reliable but not absolutely perfect - wish loading was faster.

I recently examined an Amazone D960 from 2013, and it's in surprisingly excellent shape. The frame shows no welds, indicating no repairs were needed, suggesting its durability. The tires exhibit low wear, indicating limited use over its life. The markers are intact and fully functional, an aspect that stood out to me. One downside is that while the paint remains mostly untouched, there's still slight wear. However, its operational readiness and thoughtful design make this machine quite practical.

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.
