2024 Vaderstad Tempo F 6

The Tempo F is a trailed high-speed planter, available with 6 or 8 row units and optional granular fertilizer hopper. The placement and design of the support wheels maintain the seed depth in all conditions, which ensures an even crop. The Tempo F offers high fertilizer capacity with individual row shut-off, resulting in maximum uptime and fertilizer savings.

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.

With their extreme capacity, Precision Delivery air carts are designed to give you more time seeding and less time filling. Offered in five sizes (400, 680, 820, 1000 and 1350), these carts have a total capacity between 360 and 1350 bushels (12685-47572 litres).

To ensure optimal depth control, the Tempo F is equipped with hydraulic support wheels mounted between the row units. This avoids any tilting in hilly conditions. The wide tire profile maintains consistent working depth irrespective of soil type, while the large diameter ensures a smooth ride at high speeds, improving planting precision.

The eight-row Tempo F 8 has four support wheels which are coupled as a walking tandem hydraulic bogie unit.

The Tempo is designed to fit most tractors. It has a low hydraulic requirement, offers self-sufficient electric power and requires low horsepower.

The Tempo F can be equipped with a large granular fertilizer hopper and fertilizer opening coulters. Hopper capacity is 36 or 48 bushels, depending on model.

Like the seed meters, the fertilizer meters have individual row shut-offs. This maintains uniform rates throughout the field, even on irregular fields. The fertilizer is metered through short hoses for fast reaction time when the rows are turned on and off.

The advantage of a trailed planter is less weight placed on the tractor. With this reduced weight a smaller tractor with lower tire pressures can be used. The weight is distributed between the tractor and the planter which, in turn, reduces the amount of soil compaction. The benefit of this is a healthy soil structure and an even crop emergence.
