I’ve spent a lot of hours behind different precision drills and the Tempo feels like it was built around keeping the seed stable at speed. The airflow pushing seeds down the tube sounds like a small detail, but in practice it cuts down doubles/skips when the machine shakes around. On slopes too, it holds spacing better than the old gravity drop style.

What I actually notice day to day: closing wheels choice matters. If you mess around with narrow wheels on small seed in lighter ground, you can mark the row and expose seed. The wider 50 mm wheels fix that. The toothed closing wheel option helps when the slot wants to stay open, like dry/no-till conditions. I’ve run one toothed and one standard wheel and it’s a decent combo.

Maintenance wise, it’s not scary, but you need to be the kind of person who keeps software updated and follows the calibration steps. The manuals/videos inside iControl are useful, I’ll give them that.

Got seat time on a pair of Tempo F8s in a decent sized operation. They pulled with John Deere 6150M and 6155M, and that combo just works. The main win is you can cover ground fast without trashing your placement. We didn’t even try to max it out, 16 km/h was enough and it still hit depth and spacing like it should. Mixed feeling: the speed tempts guys to push harder than they need, and then you start watching the field conditions more than the clock anyway. Still, for straight up control of the sowing job at speed, it’s hard to complain.

Been running a Rapid for a while (same 4m setup). What I like most is it doesn’t get picky about seedbed prep. We’ve drilled after a plough + heavy discs and it still lays down a decent seedbed and holds depth like it should. That depth control is the big thing for me, you can actually see it in the emergence.

We usually sit around 10 km/h and just keep it steady. Not trying to set speed records, just want even work. Pulling it with a 300hp tractor is easy mode, but honestly you don’t need that much power for this width.
