Maximum versatility
The mounted high-speed planter Tempo V is available with 6 to 12 row units, including odd numbers. The ability to use the same machine for multiple crops often means that two traditional planters can be replaced. This increases usage and lower the hectare costs. In combination with the front hopper FH 2200, Tempo V is able to combi-drill fertiliser at high speed.
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
One machine - multiple crops
Tempo V has an open frame design making it easy to adjust the row spacing to suit numerous seed types grown on the farm. The result is increased productivity and lower costs.
As an example you could start the season by planting sugar beet at 500mm row spacing, followed by maize at 750mm row spacing, and finally in the autumn plant oilseed rape at 450mm row spacing.

Quick change
Tempo V can be altered from 12 rows to 8 rows in less than one hour. A row unit trolley facilitates the work and makes storage easy.
Great mobility
All Tempo V models are vertically folded to 3 metre transport width.
The machine is mounted on the tractors three-point linkage, making it easy to manoeuvre in the field. In the field, this results in short turning radius on headlands and convenient transport.
FH 2200 - High capacity fertiliser metering
The front mounted fertiliser hopper, FH 2200 enables high precision combi-drilling.
The 2200 litre hopper is equipped with electric Fenix III metering system, built for high capacity and high working speeds in the field. FH 2200 integrates with the iPad-based control system Väderstad E-Control or the ISOBUS-terminal of the tractor.

Optimized accuracy with next-level automation
By upgrading the data processing capabilities of the planter, additional features to ensure accuracy in the field are unlocked. The optional features are curve compensation, active hydraulic downforce and auto singulation.
Curve compensation ensures a consistent rate
Active sensors communicate when the machine is turning and adjust the metering output of each row unit to always ensure a consistent rate over the full Tempo planter width.
Active hydraulic downforce enables furrow management
With the active hydraulic downforce system, Tempo instantly reacts to changes in soil conditions, always maintaining the set optimum row unit pressure.

Auto singulation monitors and optimizes
With automatic motors on each row unit, seed singulation is continuously monitored and optimized. This saves time and increases the productive time in the field.
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 granulate
PowerShoot: The key to high-speed planting
The Tempo seed meter, stands out from the crowd. The PowerShoot technology which uses air pressure to maintain full control of the seed all the way down to the soil without any effect from gravity, vibrations or slopes. Thereby, speed is not an issue for Tempo.
-
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 planter instead of two
High-speed planting means that more hectares can be covered with fewer row units. This drastically lowers input costs for the machine itself, but it can also save one tractor and one driver in some cases.
-
Increased field efficiency
By planting with high speed the capacity of the planter increases. Thereby a smaller planter is able to cover the same area as a larger model. You benefit from an increased field efficiency, as well as lower horsepower requirements on the tractor.
-
When timing is everything
The ideal planting window is typically narrow. Some years extreme weather limits the time available even further. Planting within the optimum period provides perfect temperature and moisture for the planted crop. Any delay reduces the yield potential.

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)
In combination with the front hopper FH 2200, Tempo is able to combi-drill fertiliser at high speed. The high capacity fertiliser coulters maintains the high precision even at high speed.
Fertiliser kit
Zone 3 - Row cleaners
The row cleaners are an option on Tempo. The task of the row cleaners is to remove crop residues, clods and stones. The demand for row cleaners is much higher when planting into no-till or when planting into fields with large amount of residues.
Floating row cleaners
Zone 3 - Seed placement
With Tempo, planting can be carried out at very high speed, without compromising exceptional precision and accuracy. Tempo is extremely accurate and the seed meter assures perfect placement for every seed. This precision is of greatest importance to maximise the yield.

Zone 4 - Closing
When the seed is planted the closing wheel shut the seed slot and ensures perfect conditions for germination. Depending on farming requirements, the interface further allows for several industry-standard third-party closing wheel solutions.
Narrow closing wheel 25mm
Wide closing wheel 50mm
Treaded closing wheel 50mm
