Fendt, marks it leader of high technology of the group AGCO, organised an authentic show the past 2 September, in his big day of celebrated field in the earths of the earl of Schöncream in Wadenbrunn, beside Würzburg (Germany). Some 50.000 people could see in operation more than 100 tractors Fendt and machinery of recolección of 100 to 650 CV, as well as more than 130 implementos of all type. In addition to the new model 939 Miscellaneous, with 339 CV, the most stood out novelty was the picadora Fendt Katana 65, that all could see in action.

Who has attended any of the calls for Fendtgüinos in Spain can get an idea of which was the day of field in Germany, while multiplying dimensions and visitors of tractors expuestos… figures in general, everything. That has never been to Fendtgüinos should imagine a huge estate, with more than 130 implements presuming their capabilities, must think of a great show in which the tractors are the protagonists. On September 2 field day, everything was directed to the spectacle.

Entire families, in a partial view of the crowd watching the show.

But let's go to the Fund, more to the impressive staging of this German manufacturer. At 0930 hours began the trickle of visitors attending live presentations of the machines and the implements on the entire surface of use, as well as the presentation of all Fendt technique, not only in the area of tractors, but also harvesters. There were of course the possibility of obtaining more detailed information in the tents of technical information where Fendt engineers discussed technical issues with their clients, or simply took advantage of the relaxed atmosphere to "fix the world" over a beer.

Not only machines

The field of Wadenbrunn day also served to know 'climbing wall Ayrro' and the 'Tower of bread Genius', what more highlighted in the presentation of the Saaten-Union. From the current range of corn from the enterprise sobresaldrá especially the new class Ayrro, with its special for milk and the methane quality. With regard to the variety of winter cereals, the new Genius elite wheat was the center of attention. Saaten-Union presented intermediate fruits Multiresistant to promote the fertility of the soil and to ensure a consistent and continuous cultivation, as well as grass Tetrasil and examples of millet cultivation programme.

Saaten-Union showed varieties of all kinds.

In short, the 50,000 people who attended could have a full day, knowing more about the program of Fendt, seeing new varieties of Saaten-Union and noting submissions from more than 80 companies in the agricultural sector. Supplemented with the duel between young farmers and the Festival for the youth of the Association of young farmers in Bavaria.

Main news

Surprisingly, Fendt not opportunity lost surprisingly to such number of potential customers with important developments.

In fact, the first official presentation was the Fendt Katana 65 mincer, a name chosen in reference to the katana, a Japanese sword of the Samurai, synonymous with power, clarity and precision. The Fendt Katana 65, with 16 litre House Mercedes with 650 HP V8 engine, has already exceeded several hundreds of hours on the banks of trials and has garnered thousands of acres of corn and grass. There are two prototypes in use, which stand out for its low fuel consumption and the fact of present excellent quality of the dive, whilst maintaining a huge performance from two years ago.

The main modules of the Fendt Katana 65 have dimensioned very generously. For example, the drum of chopped has a diameter of 720 mm and, due to the area of food which includes six roller, ensures a product flow constant at all wavelengths of court. In regards to the groundbreaking of grain, it stands out by the fold and the withdrawal and how effective.

The machine will be commercially available at the beginning of the year 2011 and will exist initially only this model. Incorporates the SCR technology to comply with the rules of exhaust level 3b (Tier IV interim).

The mincer Fendt Katana 65, with V8 16 litre engine of the Mercedes with 650 HP House, was one of the main attractions.

As is the case in the area of tractors, the post-treatment of exhaust with the AdBlue urea solution presents huge advantages when it comes to fuel consumption and the need of cooling power. In addition, this technology also favours the excellent dynamic behaviour of the engine and enables a significant reduction of emissions of CO₂.

The cabin, developed in Marktoberdorf expressly for the mincer, is able to satisfy the highest demands. On the concept of the electronics also be have been used electronic elements used in the development of the tractor. As well, in addition to the basic concept with the communication of the bus CAN also has joined the multifunctional armrest with a new joystick and the Varioterminal 10.4 ".

Thanks to the suspension of the rear axle which incorporates the 65 Katana, the behaviour on the road is extraordinary at a maximum speed of 40 km/h.

The SCR technology: reduces costs and cares for the environment

With technology Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) of their engines, Fendt manages to reduce the consumption of fuel by 7% and total operating cost by 5% approximately.

This technology uses ammonia to convert nitrogen oxides to nitrogen and water. In this way, caring environment, reduce costs and it complies with exhaust level 3b (Tier IV interim).

New model of the series 900 Vario

In the great day of field of Wadenbrunn, Fendt launched a new generation of the 900 Vario series which already has 240 to 390 HP models. The new 939 Vario with 390 HP model combines known technology in a series that has garnered several awards to date, with innovations such as the Fendt Variotronic with a single, flat configuration menu and touch screen, that allows to control the use of the tractoras well as the control of Isobus machines, system of self-guided Varioguide, the Variodoc documentation, and the representation of images from the camera.

It also incorporates the system of regulation of tire pressure Fendt VarioGrip, fully integrated in the concept of the vehicle. You can regulate the pressure even while driving. You can increase a bar in about ten minutes and reduced in a bar in two minutes.

The command of the system of regulation of the Fendt VarioGrip tyres is also integrated into the overall concept of the vehicle.

Variotronic, with a simple menu, settings flat, touch screen, facilitates the use of the tractor.

It also emphasises by its top speed of 60 km/h, the size of tires, which have a diameter of 2.15 meters, as well as the permitted total weight of up to 18 tons.

The key element of this increase in power is the new Deutz six cylinder engine, with 2,000 bar and high pressure Common-Rail injection system. Thanks to the increase of drilling and elevation, it has been possible to get an engine capacity of 7.8 litres and, thereby, 390 HP. Excellent dynamic behavior of Deutz engine, which provides an optimized cooling system, single is not achieved with a precise shot, but also with the new Turbo, which has a valve for download electronically. The new Fendt 900 Vario is also incorporated the SCR technology, which is reflected in the fuel savings and allows compliance with the rules of the level exhaust 3b (Tier IV interim).

The reason for this is the total profitability of the engine, or what is the same, costs per hectare, which directly affect fuel consumption. And that, despite the reduction in emissions of nitrogen and particles, it has been possible to reduce fuel consumption and emissions of CO₂ very significantly.

Another innovation that Fendt presents the new 900 Vario series is the first system ABS available for standard tractors, which gets underway through the pneumatic braking system. The function is known only in the sector by cars and trucks, so their incorporation into a tractor is a challenge.

Rear loader for large tractors Vario

The charger charge R rear, Fendt presented on the day of field of Wadenbrunn as a Studio project, promises even more versatility in the use of large series tractors 800 and 900 Vario. In the search for an optimal solution to meet the demand of the customers of loader front for large tractors, Fendt analysed relevant application areas. The typical work of load with a large tractor are not performed in narrow backyards, but especially in the field and more or less large wards. As Fendt includes a reversible seat on your new device series 800 and 900 Vario and as the experiences with the new series of the front-end loader position has been very positive in practice, the decision to combine these two techniques to develop a charger that should be incorporated in the rear. It is the R position.

The rear loader, the oscillation of the charger charge 4 X 85 front is mounted on a special rear hydraulic elevator console. This magazine has been possible thanks the reversible seat device and hydraulic support of the bottom bar of the rear hydraulic lift.

Rear loader achieves a lifting force maximum 3,000 daN; in the lower horizontal bar, the height of elevation is 4.125 mm and, with the hydraulic lift high back, reaches 5.050 mm.
