`
`Seedhawk’s Tempo precision planter can save time and manpower
`
`Published: September 5, 2014
`Crops, Machinery
`
`Seed Hawk should be called Speed Hawk, jokes Gustav Nilsson, sales manager of Vaderstad, a farm equipment manufacturer from Sweden.
`
`He was talking about Vaderstad's high-speed precision planter, the Tempo, which was demonstrated Aug. 20 in a cornfield north of Leth-bridge.
`
`“Our product range is always about speed.”
`
`The Tempo can seed accurately at up to 10 m.p.h.
`
`“No other North American brand can do 10 m.p.h. and seed with this quality," said Nilsson, whose company acquired Seed Hawk of Langbank. Sash, last fall.
`
`”To enter a very mature market in the corn and soy industry, we need something unique, so we want to double the efficiency for the farmer so he can do more in less time, save manpower and labour,
`without any decrease in quality."
`
`Randy Pistawka, director of international sales and market development for Seed Hawk, said the field was planted May 15 with the Tempo, with strips done at seven, eight and 10 m.p.h. Field
`examination showed even stands with few skips or doubles, which is the mark of precision planting.
`
`"We want to have the same depth and we want to have the same distance between each seed. That's the key," said Nilsson, as he observed the corn crop on 30-inch row spacing.
`
`“We've been developing this now since eight years back, and it has been very, very successful in Europe.”
`
`Nilsson said it might be hard for farmers to get used to seeding at a higher speed because seed placement accuracy typically drops as speed increases.
`
`However, the machine’s ability doesn't necessarily mean farmers will have to use it at top speed. As well, allowances have to be made for soil conditions and topography.
`
`The Tempo comes in various models and with various options, including a separate compartment for dry fertilizer, three-point linkage, row spacings from 20 to 30 inches and a variety of row
`cleaners and closing wheels.
`
`Different seed discs are available for various crops, including com canola, soybeans, sunflowers, sugar beets and sorghum.
`
`Its smallest model has four row units and the largest now available has 12. although there are plans to introduce 16 and 24 row unit models.
`
`Nilsson said the eight-row Tempo F, the demonstrator model in this field, would require 150 horsepower to achieve top speed, but requirements will depend on field conditions.
`
`Row units are electrically driven and individually seed-metered, with no gears or sprockets. The over-pressurized air system shoots seed at 15 metres per second.
`
`Stop wheels that push the seed into the soil prevent seed bounce. Closing wheels complete the planting.
`
`The unit can exert up to 700 pounds of down pressure on the springs, which Nilsson said is sometimes needed when seeding at high speed.
`
`The cast iron frame has four wheels on the ground, in addition to the row units, to minimize bounce at higher speeds.
`
`It folds to a 10-foot width for transport and storage.
`
`At the same field day, Vaderstad demonstrated its Carrier tillage tool, which is suited to heavier soil capable of breaking down cover crops and corn stubble.
`
`Rubber suspension can exert 4,000 lb. of pressure on each arm, with spring play of five inches on each.
`
`“So we have a very robust system for handling rocks," Nilsson said.
`
`Different tools and options are available for the Carrier, including straw harrows, cross-cutters and levelling boards. The Carrier also folds into a 10-foot width.
`
`Vaderstad has no dealer representatives in southern Alberta, but Pistawka said the search is on.
