Description:
The Tempo R 12-18 is a rigid, mounted high-speed precision planter available with 12 or 18 row units, with fertiliser metering as an option. It features easily adjustable row spacing, allowing multiple crops to be planted with the same machine. The three-point linkage provides excellent manoeuvrability and short headlands. The rigid frame has fewer moving parts, minimal weight, and reduced maintenance without compromising precision. The Tempo planter delivers exact seed spacing, even seed depth, and no overlap planting on headlands, with precision maintained regardless of speed, vibrations, slopes, or varying field conditions. The latest Tempo row unit has been completely redesigned with a focus on improving agronomic precision and user experience. Each row unit has a 70-litre seed hopper.
