Väderstad Tempo F 6-8 Precision Planter
Tempo F is a trailed high-speed planter, available with 6 or 8 row units and fertiliser application as standard. The placement and design of the support wheels maintain the seed depth in all conditions which ensures an even crop. Tempo F offer very high fertiliser capacity with individual row shut-off, resulting in maximised uptime and fertiliser savings.
Tempo performs exceptionally in all conditions. The crops get the best start possible which results in an even emergence.
Features & Benefits
To ensure optimal depth control, Tempo F is equipped with hydraulic support wheels mounted between the row units, this avoids any tilting in hilly conditions. The wide tyre profile maintains the working depth irrespective of soil type. 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 hydraulic bogie unit – walking tandem. This ensures that the load on all wheels are the same in the field, giving the machine a smoother ride on uneven ground.
- The advantage of a trailed planter is less weight placed on the tractor. With this reduced weight a smaller tractor can be used and also lower tyre pressures. The weight is distributed between the tractor and the planter which in turn reduces the soil compaction rate. The benefit of this is a healthy soil structure and an even crop emergence.
- Together with the seed metering, the fertiliser metering has individual row shut off. This maintains the correct application even on irregular fields. The fertiliser is metered through short hoses which improves the reaction time. Individual row shut off provides equal conditions for the plant which leads to an even crop emergence and reduces fertiliser costs.
