Having made an immediate impact on the agricultural sector when it set a world record for planting back in 2017, the Vaderstad Tempo L has just past the significant milestone of 1000 machines being produced.

The high-precision Tempo L first entered production in 2017 and was immediately a huge success for planting capacity and precision, making the headlines when it set a world record in Hungary that same year, planting 502 hectares of maize in 24 hours at speeds of over 20km/h.

Thanks to Vaderstad's patented PowerShoot technology the Tempo is said to deliver unparalleled precision, both in terms of the distance between every seed but also for consistent planting depth. Following the WR event, Gödöllő University analysed 6808 plants on the site, to find there were minimal deviations in planting depth precision, doubles, and skips.

With around 5,500 machines manufactured annually the Tempo L series is currently available with 8 to 24 row units, while from June 2021, the new Tempo L 32 goes into production, becoming the biggest Tempo planter yet with 32 row units and an operating width of 12 metres.
