One machine - multiple crops
The frame of Tempo T is equipped with a heavy-duty telescopic wing retraction, making it possible to adjust the frame width to fit different crops.
When changing the frame width, the row spacing and number of row units can be easily adjusted.
As an example, Tempo T is able to plant maize using 6 rows at 750mm, sunflower or soybeans using 7 rows at 600mm and oilseed rape using 6 rows at 500mm.

Heavy-duty telescopic frame
The telescopic wing retraction has a heavy-duty construction, resulting in a long working life.
You benefit from of an easy to use system operated from the cab, thereby maximising uptime in hectic periods at the farm.
Fertiliser metering with high capacity
As an option, Tempo T 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.
The obvious choice for seed growers
The individually electric driven Tempo row units offer great possibilities for high precision seed planting.
The same machine is able to plant multiple seed types with differing seed rates and varying row spacings. The telescopic frame makes adjusting the machine to your demands very easy.
Great mobility
Tempo T 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. Depending on the configuration, the machine has a transport width between 3 and 3.36 metres.
You benefit from a 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 planting precision in three dimensions – Length, depth, and width.
1. In-row precision – Exact distance between each seed in the seed row
2. Depth precision – Exact depth of each seed
3. End-of-row precision – Individual row shut-off of the seed, fertiliser and micro granulateSwipe to read more ⮕
-
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.
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 oilseed rape and sugar beet. This improves yield and makes the high-speed planter even more versatile.
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.
-
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.
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.
Fertiliser kit
Zone 2 - Row cleaners (option)
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 (option)
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.
