Fendt to debut new telehandler at FTMTA show
The telehandler will be part of a packed Fendt stand that will also include the new 728 Vario Gen7, and Tigo forage wagon.
“The FTMTA Farm Machinery Show is an important event in the agricultural calendar and we wanted to bring a cross section of Fendt machinery that reflects the needs of farmers in Ireland,” said Fendt’s Richard Miller.
“We, therefore, have a focus on tractors in the 100-200hp range that can be specified with loaders, while also showing the future with the new 728 Vario Gen7 tractor."
The Fendt 211, 312 and 516 Vario tractors chosen for the stand have all been fitted with Fendt’s Cargo loader to illustrate the benefits of the tractors for grassland system work. The Tigo forage wagon further demonstrates the progress Fendt has made in this sector.
“The Tigo is a popular product in Ireland because the range offers capacities of 22-45m3 in a compact design that is up to 20 per cent shorter than rivals,” he said.
The Fendt Cargo loader, fitted to the tractors at the event, is also an increasingly attractive option for operators buying lower horsepower Fendt tractors. It makes even the smallest 200 Vario a capable loading machine which can reduce fuel costs and help access to small spaces.
“There will be three tractor and loader combinations on display to demonstrate the versatility of the Fendt range for loading work. The panoramic view from the cab, intuitive joystick controls and weighing functionality all help to make a 200, 300 or 500 tractor a capable and comfortable loading machine,” said Richard.
The current Fendt 724 Vario Gen 6 tractor will feature on the stand with the incoming 728 Gen 7 as a way to illustrate the progress the brand has made in both engine technology and efficiency. “The Gen 6 has been a tremendously successful tractor throughout Europe, and the new 728 with its AGCO power unit, higher output and greater efficiencies will uphold Fendt’s reputation in the mid horsepower sector. The FTMTA show will provide a unique opportunity to see both and ask our team questions about all the products on show,” he said.
