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.

Quick change
The Tempo V can be altered from 12 rows to 8 rows in less than one hour. Row unit dollies facilitate the work, while making storage easy.
Easy to maneuver
All Tempo V models are vertically folded to a 10-foot transport width.
The planter is mounted on the tractor's three-point linkage, giving it a tight turning radius on headlands and providing convenient transport.
FH 2200 - High-capacity fertilizer metering
The FH 2200 front-mounted granular fertilizer hopper enables precision application.
The 62-bushel hopper is equipped with an electric Fenix III metering system, built for high capacity and high working speeds in the field. The FH 2200 integrates with the iPad-based control system Väderstad E-Control or the ISOBUS terminal of the tractor.
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 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.

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.
Fertilizer kit
Zone 2 - Row cleaners (option)
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
Zone 3 - Seed placement
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.

Zone 4 - Closing
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.
Narrow closing wheel 1"
Wide closing wheel 2"
Treaded closing wheel 2"
