Selected features
Multiple crops with one machine
Tempo R has a frame designed to enable simple setup of row spacing and number of row units, including odd numbers.
The row spacing on the 18 row Tempo R 18 can be set down to 450mm, while the 12-row model can be configured between 700 to 800mm. This results in more hectares per season and consequently lowers costs.
Transport wheels for wider models
Equipped with optional transport wheels and drawbar, Tempo R 12 and Tempo R 18 can be easily transported between the fields on the farm.
Despite the wide working width, the transport width fits under 3 metres.
FH 2200 - High capacity fertiliser metering
The front mounted fertiliser hopper FH 2200 enables high precision combi-drilling. The 2200 litre hopper is equipped with the electric Fenix III metering system, suitable for high capacity and high working speeds in the field.
FH 2200 integrates with the iPad-based control system Väderstad E-Control or the ISOBUS-terminal of the tractor.
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.
