OverviewThe Tempo K is a high-capacity, high-speed planter designed for large-scale farming operations. It is configured with 24 row units at 30" spacing and engineered to maintain planting precision at forward speeds of 10–12 mph. The machine features a heavy-duty design, a large pressurised central fill (150 bu / 5,300 L) and the Tempo seed meter with PowerShoot technology for consistent one-by-one seed placement.
Key features- 24 row units, 30" spacing.
- High-speed planting capability with precision at 10–12 mph.
- Heavy-duty row unit construction for stable ride and consistent depth.
- High-capacity pressurised central fill (150 bu / 5,300 L).
- Electric drive per row for individual control and row-by-row shut-off.
- Tempo seed meter with PowerShoot for one-by-one seed delivery.
Precision in 3-DTempo provides three-dimensional placement control to ensure uniform emergence and plant development:
- In-row precision — single-seed accuracy via Tempo meter and PowerShoot.
- Depth precision — stable weight transfer and robust components maintain target depth across speeds and field variability.
- End-of-row precision — GPS-controlled individual row shut-off for overlap avoidance on headlands and irregular areas.
Technology and control- Individual electric motors for each row unit enabling precise variable-rate seed and fertiliser application.
- Row-by-row variable rate and depth control (manual or GPS/ISOBUS Task Controller).
- Dynamic Tramlining — automatic tramline generation via selective row shut-off using GPS guidance.
- Compatibility with multiple seed types and independent calibration per row.
- Pressurised central fill ensures continuous seed supply to meters at high speeds.
Row unit and agronomyThe latest Tempo row unit design improves agronomic precision and serviceability with refined disc and coulter geometry, cab-controlled depth settings and upgraded seed meters and hoppers for faster crop changes. Robust construction maintains planting depth and row stability at high ground speeds.
Benefits- Uniform plant spacing and emergence for optimized stand establishment and yield potential.
- Reduced input waste through precise section and row control.
- High field productivity from large hopper capacity and high operating speeds.
- Flexible configuration for different crops, seed rates and row setups.
