Väderstad Tempo L 8-24 Precision Planter
Tempo L is a trailed high-speed planter with an enormous capacity, available with 8, 10, 12, 16, 18 or 24 row units. Tempo L doubles the capacity of a traditional planter. Most importantly, the crop is established with higher precision. Tempo L sets a new standard for high-capacity planting.
Depending on model, Tempo L can be equipped with either a 3000- or 5000 litre fertiliser hopper. The fertiliser is metered via the high-capacity Fenix III metering system. The metering capacity for fertiliser is up to 350kg/ha at 15km/h.
Features & Benefits
Tempo L is equipped with hydraulic wing pressure which transfers weight from the inner section of the machine to its outer wings. This enables Tempo L to respond to any irregularities on the field and ensure an even emergence.
- To ensure the transport wheels follow the row spacing, Tempo L is fitted with a telescopic 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 3m width for transport.
- As a new option, the high-speed planter Väderstad Tempo L 8-24 can be equipped with a liquid fertiliser system. The system is fully integrated in the machine, built for the high-speed precision planting that Väderstad Tempo is known for.
- The 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.
