The mounted high-speed planter Tempo V 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 increases usage and lower the hectare costs. In combination with the front hopper FH 2200, Tempo V is able to combi-drill fertiliser at high speed.
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.
Features may include:
One machine - multiple cropsTempo V has an open frame design making it easy to adjust the row spacing to suit numerous seed types grown on the farm. The result is increased productivity and lower costs. As an example you could start the season by planting sugar beet at 500mm row spacing, followed by maize at 750mm row spacing, and finally in the autumn plant oilseed rape at 450mm row spacing.
Quick changeTempo V can be altered from 12 rows to 8 rows in less than one hour. A row unit trolley facilitates the work and makes storage easy.
Great mobilityAll Tempo V models are vertically folded to 3 metre transport width. The machine is mounted on the tractors three-point linkage, making it easy to manoeuvre in the field. In the field, this results in short turning radius on headlands and convenient transport.
Optimized accuracy with next-level automationBy upgrading the data processing capabilities of the planter, additional features to ensure accuracy in the field are unlocked.
Curve compensation ensures a consistent rateActive 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 managementWith 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 optimizesWith 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 fingertipsThe 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.
