The Tempo L Central Fill is available with 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 24 or 32 row units. It is equipped with a high-capacity central seed hopper, which distributes seed to the row units. The Tempo L Central Fill delivers unmatched planting capacity and precision. Plus, it handles a wide variety of seeds - from small seeds like canola, to corn and high rates of soybeans.
The Väderstad Tempo is a new generation high-speed planter, delivering unmatched precision at double the speed of traditional planters. No-till, min-till or conventional tillage – the Tempo performs exceptionally well in all conditions. It gives your crop the best start possible with even emergence.
The technology behind the new Väderstad Tempo Central Seed Fill system is very practical. There is no central motor metering out seeds - Instead, each row unit regulates the number of seeds needed for its high-precision PowerShoot seed metering system.

Underneath the central 85-bushel seed hopper, there is a feeding system for the row units. An airstream picks up seeds from the gates and sends them out to the row units. Each gate supports two row units through a divider on the wings.
Each row unit has a collector on top of the PowerShoot seed metering system to supply seed for that row. When the collector is full of seed, the airstream from the feeding system stops, pausing the transport of seed to that row unit.
When the seed level in a collector starts to run low, the row unit will send a signal to restart the airstream. This allows the Central Seed Fill system to transport more seeds to fill up the collector.
The Tempo L Central Fill 16 and 24 can be equipped for seed and fertilizer metering. Granular fertilizer is metered through the high-capacity Fenix III metering system, which is capable of rates up to 312 pounds per acre at 9.3 mph.
Seed-only models are equipped with a central 85-bushel seed hopper, while the seed and fertilizer models utilize a 204.3-bushel hopper with two compartments: 62.4 bushels for seed, and 141.9 bushels for fertilizer.

To ensure the transport wheels follow the row spacing, the Tempo L is equipped with a telescoping wheel axle, which can be easily adjusted from the cab. So whatever the row spacing, the transport wheels can be adjusted to always run between the seed rows. The wheel axles are easily set to a 9.8-foot width for transport.

The Tempo L is equipped with hydraulic wing pressure, which transfers weight from the inner section of the planter to the outer wings.
This allows the Tempo L to respond to any irregularities in the field and ensure even emergence.
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.

To fit different farming needs, the Tempo L with Central Fill is available with or without fertilizer. The seed-only models are equipped with a central 85-bushel hopper for seed, while the seed and fertilizer models utilize a 204-bushel hopper with two compartments: 62 bushels for seed and 142 bushels for fertilizer.
The electric driven Fenix III can adapt to varying field conditions by applying fertilizer at variable rates. The high capacity fertilizer coulters maintain high precision even at high speeds.
Fertilizer kit
A platform makes hopper access safe and easy, and a large opening improves filling while reducing downtime in the field. The fertilizer coulters are spring-loaded with up to 330.7 pounds of downforce, which is sufficient for no-till applications. Fertilizer is placed 2 inches to the side and below the seed. Additionally, te gauge wheel on the fertilizer coulter has two tasks: to control the depth and to minimize the amount of soil thrown from the fertilizer coulter.
Row cleaners are optional on the Tempo. They're used to remove crop residue, clods and rocks ahead of the disc openers. The need to use row cleaners is much higher when planting into no-till conditions or other fields with large amounts of residue.
Floating row cleaners
Each row cleaner is mounted on a parallel linkage, allowing it to precisely follow the field surface. The aggressiveness is easily adjusted with a spring, which makes it possible to either add or relieve pressure from the row cleaner. The row cleaner is fitted with a self-cleaning rubber wheel, which controls the depth of the high-quality spiked row cleaner disc. With optimized working angles, the floating row cleaners are designed to perfectly match the capacity and precision of the Tempo.
With the Tempo, planting can be done at very high speeds without compromising precision and accuracy. The seed meters ensure perfect placement for every seed, which is key to maximizing yield.
0.6-inch seed system
The 0.6-inch seed system comes standard. It is optimized for seeds less than 0.6 inches in diameter.
0.9-inch seed system
When planting large seeds over 0.6 inches diameter, you can equip the Tempo with a 0.9-inch seed system instead of the standard 0.6 inch.
Small seeds kit
The small seeds kit for the Väderstad Tempo improves results when planting small-seeded crops, such as canola or sugarbeets. Planting a small-seeded crop at shallow planting depth requires the planter to be very gentle to the seed. The main components of the small seeds kit include suspended stop wheels and the ability to adjust the angle of the closing wheels. Learn more about the small seeds kit
After the seed is planted, the closing wheels cover the seed trench, creating perfect conditions for germination. Several industry-standard, third-party closing wheel solutions can also be used, depending on the needs of each farm.
Spiked closing wheel
A spiked closing wheel is often used when no-till planting. This closing wheel is also a good option when planting in heavy clay soils.
Narrow closing wheel 1"
The job of the closing wheel is to close the seed furrow. The force on the closing wheels can easily be adjusted, and it is also possible to set the closing wheels offset.
Wide closing wheel 2"
The wide closing wheel is often used when planting very shallow. This closing wheel can also be used in conventional planting when planting corn and sunflowers.
Treaded closing wheel 2"
By reducing the risk for crusting, the treaded closing wheel optimizes the conditions for shallow planted seeds, such as sugarbeets and canola
