Central-fill functionality means that instead of filling seed in each of the row units, the farmer will only have to fill one large central 3 000 litre seed hopper. The Tempo planter will then take care of the distribution of the seeds to each row unit – all this at world-record planting speed and precision.
- With the central-fill function, the farmer will be able to achieve even more in a day’s work, thereby increasing productivity and capacity even further, says Jörgen Dahl, Commercial Product Manager for Planters, at Väderstad.
The central-fill system works as a pressurized system, constantly feeding the high precision Tempo seed meters. When the seeds have been delivered to the seed meters, the patented PowerShoot technology ensures excellent planting results.
- Thanks to the Tempo seed meters working with PowerShoot technology, Tempo delivers an exceptional planting precision at very high speed, says Jörgen Dahl.
The new central-fill function will be available for the top-range of Tempo L planters - Tempo L 12, Tempo L 16, Tempo L 18 and Tempo L 24. This will cover machines from 12 to 24 row units, as well as a full range of planter crops.
Tempo L with the new central-fill functionality will have its premiere at the agricultural tradeshow Agritechnica in November 2019 in Hannover, Germany. It will be available on the market during the start of 2021.
