VÄDERSTAD TEMPO T-F™

Pneumatic precision planters with rows between 6 and 8
Every component on the Tempo planter is built to ensure the exact same start for all seeds. No matter the speed – no matter the field condition. The even seed placement results in a crop that matures at an even rate and is more likely to yield to full potential.

The Tempo planter delivers an exact seed spacing, even seed depth and no overlap planting on headlands. On top of this, the planting precision is always the same irrespective of outside influences such as speed, vibrations, slopes or varying field conditions.

The Tempo seed meter stands out from the crowd. Thanks to the Power Shoot technology, which uses air pressure to maintain full control of the seed all the way down to the soil; gravity, vibrations and slopes are removed from the equation. Speed is not an issue for Tempo.

Tempo takes modern technology to the field. Each Tempo row unit is individually electric driven and the control system Väderstad E-Control seamlessly establishes a real time communication between the planter, the tractor and you as a driver. The planter electronics constantly ensures performance and you benefit from user-friendly remote setup, as well as real-time monitoring and full control.
Highest precision in all dimensions
In-row precision
The Tempo seed meter, together with Power Shoot guarantees that each seed is placed one by one with extreme accuracy in the seed furrow. By providing even plant spacings, without skips and doubles, Tempo delivers very high in-row precision. This means that all plants are granted the same growing conditions from the start.

Depth precision
The Tempo planter has a heavy-duty design, transferring high weight to the row units. Together with its components, this ensures a stable ride with maintained planting depth in all conditions. The exact depth precision leads to an even germination, which in turn is crucial to grow strong and healthy
crops with great yield potential.

End-of-row precision
Each row unit on the Tempo planter is electrically driven, enabling GPS controlled individual row shut-off. By eliminating overlaps on headlands and irregular field areas, potential yield losses are avoided at the same time as the input costs can be reduced by 5-10%. Tempo enables section control for seed, fertilizer and micro granulates.
The key for high-speed planting
The patented Power Shoot technology makes the Tempo planter stand out from the crowd. 

On traditional planters, the seed falls freely through the seed tube from the seed meter down to the soil. When vibrations arise as the speed increases, the seed bounces in the seed tube and much of the precision of the seed meter is lost. This is one of the reasons why many planters are limited to low planting speeds. 

Power Shoot uses positive air pressure to shoot the seeds at 50km/h down the short seed tube. This gives the Tempo planter full control of the precision of each seed, from the seed hopper all the way down to the seed furrow.
Tempo T 6-7
Tempo T is a mounted high-speed planter available with 6 or 7 row units, and fertilizer metering as an option. The telescopic frame allows for unprecedented precision, while at the same time making the machine very easy to handle and transport.

One machine – multiple crops
The frame of Tempo T is equipped with a heavy-duty telescopic wing retraction, making it possible to adjust the frame width to fit different crops. When changing the frame width, the row spacing and number of row units can be easily adjusted. As an example, Tempo T is able to plant maize using 6 rows at 750mm, sunflower or soybeans using 7 rows at 600mm and oilseed rape using 6 rows at 500mm.

The obvious choice for seed growers
The individually electric driven Tempo row units offer great possibilities for high precision seed planting. The same machine is able to plant multiple seed types with differing seed rates and varying row spacings. The telescopic frame makes adjusting the machine to your demands very easy.
Tempo F 6-8
Tempo F is a trailed high-speed planter, available with 6 or 8 row units and fertilizer application as an option. The placement and design of the support wheels maintain the seed depth in all conditions which ensures an even crop. Tempo F offer very high fertilizer capacity with individual row shut-off, resulting in maximized uptime and fertilizer savings.

Impressive depth control
To ensure optimal depth control, Tempo F is equipped with hydraulic support wheels mounted between the row units, avoiding any tilting in hilly conditions. The wide tires profile maintains the working depth irrespective of soil type. The large diameter ensures a smooth ride at high speeds, improving planting precision.

High precision planting for every farm
Tempo is designed to fit most tractors. It has a low hydraulic requirement, self-sufficient electric power and requires low draught force. Tempo F has the option to equip the planter with a PTO driven fan, reducing the dependency of the tractor whilst still maintaining high precision planting.
