Tractors make Cereals debut
For the first time, Cereals visitors will be able to see the new Fendt 800 series tractor.
“Fendt has launched new 500, 700, 800 and 1000 series models in the last 12 months and the Cereals crowd will be able to get their hands on the latest 826 if they visit the Fendt stand. There will also be an MT943 on the stand to demonstrate Fendt’s commitment to offering tracked tractors for heavy draft work,” says Fendt’s Ed Dennett.
The fifth generation 800 Vario includes three models: the 826, 829 and 832 with Power+, Profi and Profi+ specifications available. The range features Fendt’s DynamicPerformance (DP) added power concept which offers a boost of 23 horsepower (17 kW).
Fendt’s latest VarioDrive has been paired with an efficient 8.0 litre, 6-cylinder CORE80 engine to maximise power and reduce fuel consumption. The CORE80 engine is approved for HVO100 and other fuels according to DIN 15940, which can significantly reduce the machine’s CO2 footprint. Fendt’s iD concept saves fuel during high torque, low speed work and also on the road, meaning at 40 km/h the engine works at 950 rpm, 50 km/h at 1,200 rpm, and the top speed of 60 km/h at 1,450 rpm.
“The 800 Vario range appeals to both arable and mixed farms and is likely to prove popular with contractors looking to optimise power to weight ratios and improve fuel efficiency. All Fendt tractors and the Rogator range operate FendtONE which has also seen recent updates and is now free to download for all Fendt customers,” says Mr Dennett.
The FendtONE operating concept is intuitive to operate for operators who have not experienced a Fendt before and enables tractors to share operational data with other machines like the Rogator to reduce set up time and setting field boundaries. Operational data can subsequently be captured using the FendtONE offboard system to report on the efficiency of tasks and save this data to improve future applications.
“Cereals is a perfect opportunity for Fendt to demonstrate how technology and data has become as important as horsepower and the operational capacity of machinery. FendtONE is the key to optimising Fendt machines and harnessing vital information that can help operators and managers work more efficiently,” concludes Mr Dennett.
