Superior precision - enormous capacity
Tempo L is a trailed high-speed planter with an enormous capacity, available with 8, 10, 12, 16, 18 or 24 row units. Tempo L doubles the capacity of a traditional planter. Most importantly, the crop is established with higher precision. Tempo L sets a new standard for high capacity planting.
Väderstad Tempo is a new generation high-speed planter, delivering an unmatched precision at double the speed of traditional planters. No-till, min-till or conventional tillage – Tempo performs exceptionally in all conditions. The crops gets the best start possible which results in an even emergence.
Selected features
High capacity fertilizer metering
Depending on model, Tempo L can be equipped with either a 85 or 142 bu (3000 or 5000 litre) fertilizer hopper. The fertilizer is metered via the high capacity metering system Fenix III. The metering capacity for fertiliser is up to 312 lb/ac (350 kg/ha) at 9.5 mph (15 km/h).
The electric driven Fenix III has the capability to adapt the fertilizer rate to varying field conditions by using a variable rate system. The high capacity fertilizer system maintains the high precision even at high speed.

Perfect depth control
Tempo L is equipped with hydraulic wing pressure which transfers weight from the inner section of the machine to its outer wings.
This enables Tempo L to respond to any irregularities on the field and ensure an even emergence.

Telescopic wheel axle
To ensure the transport wheels follow the row spacing, Tempo L is fitted with a telescopic 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 10' (3 m) width for transport.
Liquid fertilizer
As a new option, the high-speed planter Väderstad Tempo L 8-24 can be equipped with a liquid fertilizer system. The system is fully integrated in the machine, built for the high-speed precision planting that Väderstad Tempo is known for.
Despite its enormous capacity on the field, Tempo L folds to 3-metre transport width.
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 machine, including seeding quality, skips, doubles, distance in the row, and rate.
You benefit from user-friendly remote set up and calibration, as well as easy, real-time monitoring and control.
With the iPad you can upload the most recent program software which allows you to benefit from future developments.

Product concept
Zone 1 - Fertilizer placement (option)
Depending on model, Tempo L can be equipped with either a 85 or 141 bu (3000 or 5000 litre) fertilizer hopper, metering out fertiliser via the highly precise metering system Fenix III. The metering capacity for fertilizer is up to 312 lb/ac (350 kg/ha) at 9.5 mph (15 km/h). The electric driven Fenix III has the capability to adapt the fertilizer rate to varying field conditions by using a variable rate system. The high capacity fertilizer coulters maintains the high precision even at high speed.
Fertiliser kit
Zone 2 - Row cleaners (option)
The row cleaners are an option on Tempo. The task of the row cleaners is to remove crop residues, clods and stones. The demand for row cleaners is much higher when planting into no-till or when planting into fields with large amount of residues.
Floating row cleaners
Zone 3 - Seed placement
With Tempo, planting can be carried out at very high speed, without compromising exceptional precision and accuracy. Tempo is extremely accurate and the seed meter assures perfect placement for every seed. This precision is of greatest importance to maximise the yield.
16mm seed system
22mm seed system
Small seeds kit
Zone 4 - Closing
When the seed is planted the closing wheel shut the seed slot and ensures perfect conditions for germination. Depending on farming requirements, the interface further allows for several industry-standard third-party closing wheel solutions.
Narrow closing wheel 25mm
Wide closing wheel 50mm
Treaded closing wheel 50mm
Pointed closing wheel
Spiked closing wheel
