High capacity central fill system
Tempo K 24 is equipped with a 150-bushel seed capacity. The central fill system works as a pressurized system, constantly feeding the high-precision Tempo seed meters at the row units. When seeds have been delivered to the meters, the patented PowerShoot technology ensures excellent high-speed planting precision.
Liquid-ready
Tempo K is available with a 1,500-gallon liquid capacity as an option, divided into two 750-gallon on-board liquid tanks. This allows for the placement of two different fertilizers at planting.
Low compaction tracks
The Tempo K track system provides a large footprint utilizing flotation to reduce compaction. This maximizes the yield potential and the evenness of the crop population.
Perfect depth control
The Tempo K is equipped with hydraulic wing pressure, which transfers weight from the inner section of the planter to the outer wings. This allows the Tempo K to respond to any irregularities in the field and ensures even emergence.
Narrow transport
Narrow transport width is achieved through a front-folding design, as well as a telescoping hitch that extends during transport and locks in field position.

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 planter, including seeding quality, skips, doubles, spacing and rate.
You benefit from user-friendly remote setup and calibration, as well as easy, real-time monitoring and control.
Through the iPad, you can download the most recent software updates, allowing your system to always stay current with future developments.
Tempo K: Unmatched precision at high speed
Every component on the Tempo planter is built to ensure the exact same start for all seeds. Watch this short video for some of the highlights of Tempo K.

The Tempo planter - take precision to a new level
The Tempo features individually controlled row units and a control system completely designed to deliver the most out of the planter. It evolves precision and planting performance even further.
-
3D Precision
The Tempo delivers unmatched planting precision in three dimensions – Length, depth, and width.
1. In-row precision: Exact spacing between each seed in the row
2. Depth precision: Consistent seed depth
3. End-of-row precision: Individual row shut-off of the seed and fertilizerSwipe to read more ⮕

In-row precision
The Tempo seed meter, together with the PowerShoot, guarantees that each seed is placed one-by-one with extreme accuracy in the furrow.
By providing even plant spacing, without skips and doubles, the Tempo delivers very high in-row precision. This means all plants are given the same growing conditions from the start.
-
Depth precision
The Tempo planter has a heavy-duty design, transferring high weight to the row units. This ensures a stable ride with maintained planting depth in all conditions.
The exact depth precision leads to even germination which, in turn, is critical to growing strong and healthy crops with great yield potential. -
End-of-row precision
Each row unit on the Tempo planter is electrically driven with GPS-controlled individual row shut-off capabilities.
By eliminating overlaps on headlands and irregular field areas, potential yield losses are avoided while reducing input costs by 5-10%. The Tempo offers section control for seed, fertilizer and micro granulates.
PowerShoot - Precision at high speeds
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, reducing the precision of the seed meter.
This is where Tempo, with its pressurized 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, meaning that speed is not an issue for the Tempo.
One machine - Multiple crops
Corn, soybeans, sugarbeets, sunflowers, canola, cotton, sorghum and many more – the Tempo is capable of planting a full range of crops with excellent results. By easily changing the row spacing and machine setup for different crops, the Tempo offers superior versatility on the farm. The result is increased efficiency and minimized machine costs per acre. Changing the seed discs can be done in a matter of seconds without the need for tools.
Excellent in all crops
The small seeds kit, which includes suspended stop wheels and the ability to adjust the closing wheel angle, ensures excellent results when planting small-seeded crops, such as canola and sugarbeets. This improves yield and increases the versatility of the Tempo high-speed planter.

-
Row-by-row shut-off
To avoid overlap planting, each row unit can be shut-off one at a time. This can either be controlled manually or using GPS and ISOBUS Task Controller. This feature saves seed and input costs, especially in irregular fields.

Easy-to-use tram lining
Tempo makes tram lines simpler and more reliable than ever before with E-Control. When planting a field, the Tempo can automatically shut off specific row units when needed to match the sprayer tire tracks.
-
Individual calibration
The Tempo is the obvious choice for seed growers. Since the row units are individually electric driven, the same machine can plant multiple seed varieties at different rates and row spacings. It is set up and monitored using E-Control.
No-till, min-till or conventional tillage
The Tempo is capable of planting with up to 716.5 pounds of down pressure. This enables high-speed planting in a wide range of field conditions and tillage systems.
To save moisture and increase capacity during busy periods on the farm, it can plant directly into stubble or corn stalks. Thanks to the heavy-duty row unit and effective row cleaners, the Tempo delivers 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 fast, 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 transfer weight to the row unit. The frame, row unit, fan and hydraulics all have a robust design, resulting in a durable, versatile and easy-to-maintain planter that fits the requirements of your farm.
