2024 Vaderstad Tempo L Central Fill 12

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, sending out seeds to the row units. Tempo L Central Fill delivers unmatched planting capacity and precision. Additionally, it manages a full range of seeds - from small seeds like canola, to corn and high rates of soy beans.

Väderstad Tempo is a new generation high-speed planter, delivering an unmatched precision at double the speed of traditional planters. No-till, min-till or conventional tillage – Tempo performs exceptionally in all conditions. The crops gets the best start possible which results in an even emergence.

The technology behind the new Väderstad Tempo Central Seed Fill system is very intuitive. There is no central motor metering out seeds - instead each row unit regulate the number of seeds needed to assist its individual high-precision PowerShoot seed metering system

Underneath the central 85 bu (3,000L) seed hopper, there is a feeding system for the row units. If there is an airstream in one particular gate, that gate will pick up seeds and send it out to the row unit. Every gate supports two row units thru a divider on the wings.

On each row unit there is a collector on top of the PowerShoot seed metering system. The collector works as a small buffer of seeds. When the collector is full of seeds the airstream in the feeding system stops, meaning that the transport of seed stops for that row unit.

When the seed level in the collector later starts to run low, the airstream starts again making the Central Seed Fill system transport seeds to fill up the collector. This means that each row unit will call for seeds, when needed, by themselves

The larger Tempo L Central Fill 16 and 24 can be equipped for seed and fertilizer metering. The fertilizer is metered via the high capacity metering system Fenix III. The metering capacity for fertiliser is up to 312 lbs/acre (350kg/ha) at 15km/h or 9.3 mph.

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 10' (3 m) width for transport.
