[QUOTE="Norfolk Olly, post: 6699865, member: 1108"] I would rather an autopower for planting especially if its a belt planter running at 8-12kph. If its a cup planter Your usually in the same gear on the headlands as up and down the field anyway. Jd is probably the easiest vario to use out of all the marques tbh. After seeing the difference between vario and autoquad while destoning i would only advise vario. Used to be ridging up in front of 8 destoners of which 3 would be vario. They would be quicker and you could see the difference behind. The non vario tractors would usually be in A3/4 which was to slow but B1 would be to quick and mean stopping to shift back down to A for heavier parts leaving a mole hill so theyd generally sit in one gear , lighter parts of the field would have no dirt through to the back of machine so the top of the bed would be covered with stones, where with a vario you could keep the machine full and do a lot better job. BUT only if youve got the right arse on the seat, destoning is as important as planting IMO and cant work out why people think its a monkeys job [/QUOTE]
