What DD are you using to drop down to 30a a day?On our land, we always planned, just before drilling, if we ploughed earlier there was a very good chance it would either be too wet or too dry when we came to drill.
It was a very efficient system, 5 furrow reversible plough followed by a 4m combi, with front cultivator pass. Trouble being 30 acres was a big day and we supped a sh1t load of diesel.
When we went to tillage + combi that went up to 40+ using a lot less diesel.
With the Vaddy we can put 2 cultivators on in the morning, then drop one on to the drill and comfortably do 50 acres a day.
DD we're back down to 30, but with the option to double shift and use even less diesel.
I’m using a 30 year old 100hp tractor and a 4.2m Dale drill knocking out 70a in a 12h day. Admittedly we are on light land which is generally gently rolling
