I fitted the Rds iso-bus Artemis to do vr seed, been extremely happy with the system. It’s not cheap but I’d 100% recommend it.

I have an aeros 9040 would that do non isobus vr drilling with an artemis?
You’d need an isobus compatible terminal to run the isobus Artemis, I may be wrong but RDS ISOCAN system may come with a terminal.
LH Agro would be worth a call, they fitted my system and may be able to offer other alternatives.

I think artemis lite can be converted to do vari rate but off the shelf is not available. We bought a full kit and fitted ourselves to an old accord seeder mounted on a cultivator, very straight forward. If you can't find anyone who can convert the lite, full sized artemis is the way I think. Kits seem pretty reasonable cost wise.
