[QUOTE="Pingu, post: 6699759, member: 306"] Personally I’d never run a planter with a casual due to the amount going on, very rare now just planting a seed will often be a dressing, amistar, liquid fert and nematicide. With all this going on revs often need to be fixed but speed changing constantly due to conditions etc. Separators on vario as well to suit conditions better along with a harvester varios can only really be abused on the road and a quick kick up arse solves it!! In my experience a vario is as reliable as a powershift and I know plenty of auto quad boxes that have been apart due to being forced in gears etc and a vario has always been cheaper to repair!! The money in a decent spud gang in growing costs, a fleet of vario tractors is nothing! I even got to the stage of carting tractors on spud gang where vario as had plenty clutch problems due to riding as speed was too slow for most gearbox’s especially auto quad. The lowest hours I’ve done a vario box was 8000 (7530) lowest I’ve had an auto quad go was on a hire tractor at 800 (6150m and 6145R) of spud work which to me meant every year more vario’s came onto fleet never yet touched a Fendt vario or NH...
