In-row precision
The Tempo seed meter, together with PowerShoot 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, fertiliser and micro granulates.

High-precision seed metering
Tempo L Central Fill is built around a decentralised seed supply concept. Instead of a central metering unit, each row unit regulates its own seed demand to support the individual high‑precision PowerShoot seed metering system.
The row‑by‑row control ensures that seed supply matches the requirements of each row unit, maintaining consistent precision across the full working width.
High capacity hopper
A central 3,000‑litre seed hopper supplies the row units via an integrated feeding system located beneath the hopper.
Each gate in the feeding system supports two row units through a divider on the wings. When airflow is active in a gate, seeds are picked up and transported to the corresponding row units.
Seed collector
Each row unit is equipped with a seed collector positioned above the PowerShoot seed metering system. The collector acts as a small buffer, ensuring a continuous supply of seed to the row unit.
When the collector is full, airflow to that row unit is stopped, preventing unnecessary seed transport.
Calling for seeds
As the seed level in a collector drops, airflow is reactivated and seeds are transported to refill it.
This demand‑based operation allows each row unit to call for seeds independently, ensuring stable seed supply and consistent planting performance across the machine.
High capacity fertiliser metering
Tempo L 16 and 24 Central Fill models can be equipped with a 5,000‑litre fertiliser hopper. Fertiliser is metered using the high‑capacity Fenix III metering system, with a capacity of up to 350 kg/ha at 15 km/h.
The electrically driven Fenix III system supports variable rate fertiliser application to match varying field conditions. High metering capacity and application precision are maintained even at high working speeds.
Row by row shut-off
To avoid overlap planting, saving seeds and inputs in irregular fields, each row unit can be shut-off one at a time. This can either be controlled manually or using GPS and ISOBUS Task Controller.
Easy-to-use tramlining
Tempo makes tramlining simpler and more reliable than ever before. The function is easy to setup with E-Control. When planting the field, Tempo automatically shuts off specific row units when needed to match the tyre tracks of the sprayer.
Individual calibration
Tempo is the obvious choice for seed growers. Since the row units are electric driven one by one, the same machine is able to plant multiple seed types with differing seed rates and varying row spacings. It is setup and monitored using E-Control.
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 optimises
With automatic motors on each row unit, seed singulation is continuously monitored and optimised. This saves time and increases the productive time in the field.
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.
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.
Versatile and easy to use
Tempo is designed to be easy to handle in daily work and flexible enough to be used across the farm. Practical design choices support quick changeovers, straightforward handling and efficient use throughout the season.

Telescopic wheel axle
Tempo L is fitted with a telescopic wheel axle to ensure the transport wheels follow the selected row spacing. Adjustment is easily carried out from the cab, allowing the wheels to run between the seed rows regardless of row spacing.
For transport, the wheel axles can be set to a width of 3 metres.
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 oilseed rape and sugar beets. This improve yields and widens the usage of the high-speed planter.
High speed precision planting with Tempo
Tempo is designed to maintain accurate seed placement when working at high speeds. It combines controlled seed transport with a well‑formed furrow and reliable seed to soil contact, helping the crop establish evenly across the field.

Perfect depth control
Tempo L is equipped with hydraulic wing pressure that transfers weight from the inner section of the machine to the outer wings.
The system enables the planter to follow field irregularities and maintain consistent working depth across the full width, supporting even crop emergence.
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.
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.
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)
To fit different farming needs, Tempo L with Central Fill, is available with or without fertiliser output. The seed-only models are equipped with a central 3 000 litre hopper for seeds, while the seed and fertiliser models utilize a 7 200 litre hopper with two compartments: 2 200 litres for seed, and 5 000 litres for fertiliser.
The electric driven Fenix III has the capability to adapt the fertiliser rate to varying field conditions by using a variable rate system. The high capacity fertiliser coulters maintains the high precision even at high speed.
