2024 Vaderstad Tempo L Central Fill 16

The Tempo L Central Fill is available with 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 24 or 32 row units. It is equipped with a high-capacity central seed hopper, which distributes seed to the row units. The Tempo L Central Fill delivers unmatched planting capacity and precision. Plus, it handles a wide variety of seeds - from small seeds like canola, to corn and high rates of soybeans.

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.

The technology behind the new Väderstad Tempo Central Seed Fill system is very practical. There is no central motor metering out seeds - Instead, each row unit regulates the number of seeds needed for its high-precision PowerShoot seed metering system.

Underneath the central 85-bushel seed hopper, there is a feeding system for the row units. An airstream picks up seeds from the gates and sends them out to the row units. Each gate supports two row units through a divider on the wings.

Each row unit has a collector on top of the PowerShoot seed metering system to supply seed for that row. When the collector is full of seed, the airstream from the feeding system stops, pausing the transport of seed to that row unit.

When the seed level in a collector starts to run low, the row unit will send a signal to restart the airstream. This allows the Central Seed Fill system to transport more seeds to fill up the collector.

The Tempo L Central Fill 16 and 24 can be equipped for seed and fertilizer metering. Granular fertilizer is metered through the high-capacity Fenix III metering system, which is capable of rates up to 300 pounds per acre at 10 mph.

To ensure the transport wheels follow the row spacing, the Tempo L is equipped with a telescoping 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 a 10-foot width for transport.

The Tempo L is equipped with hydraulic wing pressure, which transfers weight from the inner section of the planter to the outer wings.

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.

With the active hydraulic downforce system, Tempo instantly reacts to changes in soil conditions, always maintaining the set optimum row unit pressure.

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.
