Maximum versatility
The Tempo V mounted high-speed planter is available with 6 to 12 row units, including odd numbers. The ability to use the same machine for multiple crops often means that two traditional planters can be replaced. This maximizes versatility to lower your cost per acre.
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.
Selected features
Designed for multiple crops
The Tempo V has an open frame design, making it easy to adjust the row spacing for multiple crops to help increase productivity and lower costs.
For example, you could start the season by planting sugarsbeets at 22" row spacing, followed by corn at 30" row spacing.
WideLining - optimized for corn planting
The unique WideLining system allows the Tempo V planter to hydraulically adjust the row spacing of 4 row units on the toolbar. Using WideLining, the Tempo V can automatically create tram lines for a liquid manure applicator, while maintaining a full planting rate across the entire corn field.

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.

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.
-
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.
Product concept
Zone 1 - Fertilizer placement (option)
The Tempo is able to band fertilizer using the FH 2200 front hopper. The fertilizer coulters maintain a high level of precision even at high speeds.
