The key for high-speed planting
The Tempo seed meter stands out from the rest. Thanks to PowerShoot technology, which uses air pressure to maintain full control of the seed all the way down to the soil, it eliminates negative effects from gravity, vibrations and slopes. As a result, speed is not an issue for Tempo.

The value of high-speed planting
High-speed planting provides several benefits. Since a larger area can be covered with the same working width, while also improving precision, there are several ways to increase net profit.
When timing is everything
The ideal planting window is typically narrow. Some years extreme weather limits the window even more. Planting within the optimum period provides perfect temperature and moisture for the planted crop. Any delay reduces the yield potential.
Increased field efficiency
By planting with high speed, the capacity of the planter increases. This means a smaller planter can cover the same area as a larger one. You benefit from increased field efficiency, as well as lower tractor horsepower requirements.
One planter instead of two
High-speed planting means that more acres can be covered with fewer row units. This drastically lowers costs for the planter itself. In some cases, it can also eliminate the need for another tractor and driver.
