Tempo R 4-6

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.

High‑capacity fertiliser metering

As an option, Tempo R can be equipped with a 1,200‑litre fertiliser hopper and disc fertiliser coulters.

The hopper is mounted on the planter and accessed via steps on both sides. A large opening supports fast filling, reducing downtime in the field.

Electric motors enable variable fertiliser rate, supporting efficient fertiliser use and consistent crop establishment.

The new seed meter: Precision meets simplicity

Features include a one-hand lid, easy seed tube change and a seed opening hatch for effortless maintenance and operation. Switching between crops is now faster and easier.

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.

Variable rate

Each row unit is individually electrically controlled, enabling variable rate on a row‑by‑row basis. Crop establishment can therefore be adapted to local field conditions.

Seed, fertiliser and micro granulate rates can be adjusted according to local yield potential, helping to balance plant population and use inputs more efficiently.

Rate can be controlled manually or automatically using GPS and ISOBUS Task Controller.

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.

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.

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.

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 working speeds

Tempo is designed to work reliably at high planting speeds with low service requirements.

The row unit supports stable operation through maintenance‑free joints and a heavy‑duty parallel linkage that transfers weight effectively. A robust frame, fan and hydraulics contribute to durable performance in daily work.

Practical improvements, such as an updated row unit change system, an improved closing wheel arm, and optimised cable routing, support straightforward handling and reliable operation over time.
