2024 Vaderstad Tempo L 18

The Tempo L is a trailed high-speed planter with high capacity. It's available with 8, 10, 12, 16, 18 or 24 row units. The Tempo L doubles the capacity of a traditional planter and, more importantly, the crop is established with higher precision. It sets a new standard for high-capacity planting.

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.

Depending on the model, the Tempo L can be equipped with either an 85- or 142-bushel hopper. 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.

The electric driven Fenix III has variable rate capabilities, and the high-capacity fertilizer system maintains high precision even at high speeds.

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

This allows the Tempo L to respond to any irregularities in the field and ensure even emergence.

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.

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.

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.
