Väderstad

Väderstad is a Swedish manufacturer of farm machinery for tillage, seed drilling and planting. It is based in Väderstad, Sweden. The company describes itself as a global company in its field, and says its machines are designed to lower fuel costs, reduce work hours and raise farm profit. It is reviewing its strategy for the Italian market to strengthen its presence there.

Planting and seeding

• Tempo: a planter line that the site says has set the global benchmark for high-speed planting precision over the last 15 years, now with a new row unit.
• Tempo V: updated 6-12 row planters with four-section fertiliser control and better tractor visibility when used with the FH 2200 front hopper.
• Tempo T: a remade mounted telescopic planter, the 6-7 model, with a telescopic frame for versatility in the field.
• Proceed: a seeding model that the site says will also receive the new row unit.

Smart farming and service

The company offers E-Connect, which it describes as a telematics solution for managing farm operations. Its digital magazine covers news, wear parts, accessories and maintenance tips for farmers. The site says ownership brings a long-term partnership with service and support, and it shares knowledge on effective farming methods. It also says the cooperation with its current Italian importer has been ended as part of the strategy review.
