High precision – robust design
Tempo R 4-6 is a mounted high-speed planter available with 4 or 6 row units, and fertiliser metering as option. With easily adjustable row spacing, it is possible to plant numerous crops with the same machine, enabling greater usage. Additionally, a rigid frame benefits from fewer moving parts, minimal weight and reduced maintenance without compromising the excellent precision Tempo R offers.
Väderstad Tempo is a new generation high-speed planter, delivering an unmatched precision at double the speed of traditional planters. No-till, min-till or conventional tillage – Tempo performs exceptionally in all conditions. The crops gets the best start possible which results in an even emergence.
Selected features
Designed for multiple crops
Tempo R has a frame designed to enable simple setup of row spacing and number of row units.
With six rows, the machine can be configured to 450 or 500mm row spacing, while the four-row version can be adjusted to 700, 750, 762 or 800mm.
Fertiliser metering with high capacity
As an option, Tempo R can be equipped with a 1200 litre fertiliser hopper and disc fertiliser coulters.
The hopper is mounted on the planter, with access to the big opening from steps on both sides. The high capacity hopper result in fewer fillings which reduces downtime in the field.
Electric motors enable variable fertiliser rate, offering higher yield with the same amount of fertiliser.
Row shut off saves fertiliser
Together with the seed metering, the fertiliser metering has individual row shut off. This maintains the correct application even on irregular fields.
The fertiliser is metered through short hoses which improves the reaction time.
Individual row shut off provides equal conditions for the plant which leads to an even crop emergence and reduces fertiliser costs.
Easy to manoeuvre
Tempo R is mounted on the tractors three-point linkage, making it easy to manoeuvre in the field.
Without the need of a front hopper, the attached fertiliser hopper takes up little space when stored.
You benefit from small turning radius on headlands and convenient transport between fields.
Full control at your fingertips
The iPad-based control system, Väderstad E-Control wirelessly delivers data about each seed that travels through the machine, including seeding quality, skips, doubles, distance in the row, and rate.
You benefit from user-friendly remote set up and calibration, as well as easy, real-time monitoring and control.
With the iPad you can upload the most recent program software which allows you to benefit from future developments.
The Tempo planter – highest precision in all dimensions
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.

Precision in 3-D
Tempo deliver an unmatched precision in three dimensions – Length, depth, and width.
1. Lengthwise – Exact distance between each seed in the seed row
2. Seed depth – Exact depth of each seed
3. Row by row – individual shut off of the seed, fertilizer and micro granulateSwipe to read more ⮕
PowerShoot - Speed is not an issue
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 where Tempo, with its pressurised seed meter, stands out from the crowd.
Thanks to the PowerShoot technology, which uses air pressure to maintain full control of the seed all the way down to the soil, gravity is removed from the equation so speed is not an issue for Tempo.

One machine - Multiple crops
Maize, sugar beet, soya beans, sunflower, oilseed rape, cotton, sorghum and many more – Tempo is able to plant a full range of crops with excellent results.By easily changing the row spacing and machine setup for different crops, Tempo offers high versatility on the farm. The result is increased efficiency and minimised machine costs per hectare. Changing the seed discs is carried out in a matter of seconds without the need of tools.
Excellent in all crops
The small seeds kit, which includes suspended stop wheels and the ability to adjust the angle of the closing wheels, ensures great results when planting small seeded crops, such as Canola and sugar beets. This improve yields and widens the usage of the high-speed planter.
The Tempo planter - take precision to a new level
Having individually controlled row units and a control system completely designed to deliver the most out of the machine, opens up several ways to evolve precision and planting performance even further.
No-till, min-till or conventional tillage
Tempo is capable of planting with up to 325kg coulter pressure. This enables high-speed planting in a wide range of field conditions and tillage systems.
To save moisture and increase capacity during hectic periods on the farm it is possible to plant directly into the stubble.
Thanks to the heavy-duty row unit and effective row cleaners, Tempo is able to deliver perfect results in all conditions.
Optimal seed-to-soil contact
When the seed leaves the seed tube, it is stopped by the press wheel.
The press wheel fulfils two important tasks; it stops the seed at the exact intended spot and then presses it into moist soil. This ensures optimal seed-to-soil contact and a fast and even germination.
Built for high speed
Every component of Tempo is designed for high speed planting, with minimal service requirements.
All joints in the row unit are maintenance free and the heavy-duty parallel linkage is designed to be able to transfer weight to the row unit. The frame, the row unit, the fan, the hydraulics – all have a robust design making it a durable, versatile and easy-to-maintain planter that fits the requirements on your farm.
Product concept
Zone 1 - Fertiliser placement (option)
Disc fertiliser coulters and a large fertiliser hopper makes it possible to place fertiliser together with the main crop.
