So I’ve used the Väderstad Tempo on a couple of big fields now. Main thing that stood out for me is the stupidly high speed it lets you run. Was doing over 20 kph and it was still drilling without skips or doubles. Saves a lot of time but at first I was worried about the accuracy at that speed. Detail work like seed depth is pretty solid, not much messing about once you’ve set it. One issue is switching from corn to smaller stuff like rapeseed, need to swap some parts and adjust the discs, takes some fiddling if you ask me. I wouldn't say it’s complicated but it sure could be faster. Never really messed up on reliability yet, even with some no-till plots, but be ready for a bit of faffing when setting all those wheels and pressure systems. Doesn’t come cheap but I guess you get the speed for the price.

We’ve got a Tempo on the farm and I’m the one who usually ends up in the tractor seat. It runs nice at speed, and the seed spacing stays where it should be. In rough patches it still keeps the unit pressed in, so you don’t see those random skips as much.

Mixed feelings: I like the control and consistency, but the machine has a lot going on. More systems means more checks. Nothing scary, just more stuff to watch than an old simple planter. Comfort is decent mainly because you’re not constantly hopping out fixing doubles or depth issues.

Ran the Tempo F8 last season planting sunflower and corn. The thing's got solid section control for seed and fert, makes a huge difference in awkward field shapes. Swapping out the depth control wheels is pretty straightforward but I did notice sometimes the closing wheels could’ve packed the trench a bit tighter, especially in drier patches. Calibration with the iPad is easy enough, but the touchscreen can be a bit finicky when you’ve got mud on your gloves. I pair it with a NH T7, fits well, hydraulics keep up. Haven’t had any breakdowns. Still, wish it was a bit lighter on the wallet.

Ran a Tempo 8-row last season. It’s pretty simple to adjust row spacing and I switched crops fast without a lot of downtime, which was great cause we always have tight fields here. Kinda loud on the hydraulics, not annoying, just something I noticed when you’re out there all day. Maintenance wasn’t bad, only thing is some grease points are hidden. Not a huge deal. I’d say it does the job, accuracy’s top-notch, but those parts when you need ‘em don’t come cheap.
