For the first time since entering the grassland sector some five years ago, Fendt has built its equipment range to offer the same levels of design, quality and reliability that the market has come to expect from its tractors. Visitors to this year’s FTMTA Grass & Muck event will be able to see the attention to detail that’s been applied to these key implements, from the awesome Katana forage harvester right through the range to the Fendt Former rake.

Debut for Fendt Katana

Being demonstrated for the first time, the Katana has earned the reputation of being able to take pretty much any local conditions in its stride. When working in grass, for example with sloping terrain, soft ground conditions or high moisture levels are all taken in the Katana’s stride. Those already running the machines report a pleasing relationship between power and fuel consumption, thanks to smooth, efficient engines with their ECO/Power drive modes.

The Fendt Tigo forage wagons are the latest additions to the range of harvesting equipment. Light in weight, compact and reassuring stability, these machines have an adjustable bulkhead, meaning that the loading area above the pick-up can also be utilised. The VarioFill loading/unloading system delivers optimum compaction density and, when unloading, the bulkhead just swings round to face the rear so the crop goes out in the same direction as it came in.

Those customers interested in disc mowers will be drawn to the Fendt Slicer range. These models bring a high degree of precision to the task, which centres on the patented TurboLift system. Centre suspension for rear mounting allows the discs to float through the crop, protecting the sward and ensuring excellent forage quality. Five models span an 8.3m-9.3m cutting width, with 2x6 or 2x7 discs.

Following the mower’s will be the Fendt Twister tedder. These allow optimum air movement through the crop. A large, robust frame ensures great stability, while the centre gearbox is positioned in an oil bath that keeps out dust and soil. Bearings on both ends of the tedder ensure smoothness of operation.
