PLANTER TEMPO L

PRECISION, TECHNOLOGY AND SPEED

Unmatched precision at very high speed

Väderstad Tempos are the new generation high-speed planters that offer unmatched precision at seeding speeds of up to 20km per hour, with exceptional performance in all conditions.

Each component of the Tempo planters is built to always ensure the germination of all the seeds at exactly the same moment. No matter the speed, no matter the condition of the field.

State of the Art Dosing

Tempo takes full control of seed distribution, from the meter to the ground. This unique seed control means that vibrations, slopes and speed do not affect seed metering accuracy.

3D precision
It offers unmatched planting precision in three dimensions: row, depth and headland.

Row precision: exact distance between each seed.

Depth precision: exact depth of each seed.

Precision at the end of the row: individual closure of the row of seeds, fertilizers and micro granules.

Perfect Depth Control

The Tempo is equipped with a hydraulic weight transfer system that evenly distributes the weight of the machine among all rows of seeding.

It also allows to apply hydraulic pressure of up to 325 kg for each individual line. This enables the Tempo to respond to any irregularity in the field, without affecting accuracy, guaranteeing a uniform emergence.

The Precision Result

Taking high-speed seeding to the next level also means addressing the issue of skips and doubles. Seed failures mean less productive plants at harvest time. However, doubles can be just as damaging. Double plants compete for space, sunlight and nutrients, leading to uneven maturation and reduced yield. Failures can be caused by external factors, while doubles are always caused by the machine.

Using Tempo will ensure the same conditions for all plants. Even plant spacing results in a crop that matures at an even rate and is more likely to produce its full potential.

POWERSHOOT Technology: Speed is not an issue

The Tempo seed metering unit features PowerShoot technology, which uses air pressure to maintain total control of the seed to the ground, so gravity, vibration and slopes are taken out of the equation. So, speed is not an issue for Tempo.

Optimum Contact Between Seed and Soil

When the seed reaches the ground, it is stopped by the pressure wheel. The pressure wheel performs two important tasks: it stops the seed in the exact place intended and it presses it into the moist soil. This ensures optimum seed-to-soil contact and fast, uniform germination.

Electric Drive Increases Accuracy

The seed dispensers have individual electrical drives, which allows disconnecting one row unit at a time, saving seeds and inputs in irregular crops.

The electric drive allows each individual seed meter to be calibrated with different seed rates, an important advantage in seed production.

The Value of High Speed Seeding

High speed seeding provides several benefits. Since a larger area can be covered with the same working width, while improving accuracy, there are several ways to increase the net benefit.

When timing is everything

The ideal planting window is usually narrow. And, some years, extreme weather further limits the time available.

Sowing must be done within the optimal period for the crop, with adequate temperature and humidity. Any delay reduces the potential for performance.

Increase efficiency in the field

High speed planting increases the capacity of the planter so that a smaller planter can cover the same area as a larger model with another system.

In this case, you need less tractor power and get more efficiency in the field.

One Planter Instead of Two

Planting at high speed means you can plant more acres with fewer line units.

With fewer machines, you drastically reduce costs because you use less time, fewer tractors, and therefore fewer operators.

Built For High Speed

All Tempo components are designed for high speed planting with minimal maintenance requirements.

All row-unit linkages are maintenance-free and the reinforced pantograph system is designed to transfer weight to the row-unit.

One Machine, Multiple Crops

The versatility of the Tempo allows seeds to be sown at high speed and with total precision, from 2mm to 14mm in diameter and weighing from 3g to 500g per thousand grains, such as canola, chia, cotton, sunflower, sorghum, soybean, corn. , among other. By easily changing row spacing and machine settings for different crops, Tempo offers great versatility in the field. The result is an increase in efficiency and a minimization of machine costs per hectare. The change of the sowing disks is done in a matter of seconds without the need for tools.

E-control: Full Control At Your Fingertips

The modern iPad-based control system "Väderstad E-control" connects wirelessly to the Tempo L planter, allowing full access to its functions and data in real time.

With the push of a button, you're able to adjust seed or fertilizer rate, turn row units on and off individually, or monitor planting accuracy.

In addition, the easy-to-use "E-control" makes calibrating and setting up the machine quick and easy.

Transport Position

To facilitate transport, the folding system is stable, fast and easy to manoeuvre. The machine goes from the transport position to the sowing position, and vice versa, in just 70 seconds.

The gauge opening of up to 4.0m in working position narrows to 3.2m in transport mode. This is the same for all Tempo L sizes.

In the transport position, the folds of the "wings" are positioned above the fertilizer box, the weight is centralized on the chassis ensuring a smooth and safe transport on roads and highways, at a speed of up to 40 km/h.

To transport the machine, it is not necessary to empty the seed/fertilizer boxes.

High Speed Planter

The Tempo L is a high-speed planter with enormous capacity, available in versions from 12 to 24 rows, with 450mm and 500mm row spacing. The lines are misaligned, with a 25cm difference between long and short, to optimize the flow of stubble.

Tempo L doubles the capacity of a traditional seeder. And what is more important, the crop is established with greater precision.

Tempo L sets a new standard for high capacity planting.

High Capacity Fertilizer Metering

The Tempo L can be equipped with a fertilizer hopper of 3,000 or 5,000 liters. The fertilizer is metered via the high capacity metering system Fenix III. The metering capacity for fertiliser is up to 350 kg/ha at 15km/h

The electric drive Fenix III has the ability to adapt the fertilizer dose to different field conditions through a variable dose system. The high capacity manure system maintains high precision even at high speed.

High speed fertilizer application

With the angled cutting disc system, the need to use a furrower is eliminated. The 18” angled cutting disc makes it possible to position the fertilizer in the furrow up to 13.5 cm deep and up to 5 cm next to the seed. The angled cutting disc allows high-speed sowing without disturbing the soil, the position of the cutting disc in relation to the sowing line allows the seed to be deposited in soft soil and without air pockets, which guarantees a depth of uniform seeds and better root development of the plant.

Precisely placing fertilizer at planting provides a supply of nutrients where the seed needs it most. This increases the yield and efficiency of fertilizers.

Optimized performance with electric motors allow application at variable fertilizer rate and automatic section cutting, offering a higher performance with the same amount.

Tempo L Central Seed Fill is available in versions up to 24 rows, with 45cm and 50cm row spacing. The lines are misaligned, with a 25cm difference between long and short, which optimizes the flow of stubble.

High Precision Seed Metering

The technology of the new Väderstad Tempo Central Seed Fill system is very intuitive. There is no central seed metering motor, instead each row is regulated for the number of seeds required to assist its highly accurate PowerShoot individual seed metering system.

High Capacity Hopper

Below the central 3000 liter seed hopper is a feed system for the line units. Each seed feed gate has its own air flow, that gate collects the seeds and sends them to the line unit. Each gate supports two line units through a flow divider in the wings.

Seed Collector

On each line unit there is a manifold on top of the PowerShoot seed metering system. The collector functions as a small seed buffer. When the collector is full of seeds, the airflow from the feeding system stops, which means that the transport of seeds stops for that line unit.

Seed Request

When the seed level in the collector begins to drop, the air stream is turned back on causing the central fill system to deliver more seed to fill the collector. Each line unit, by itself, will request seeds when necessary.
