Fendt®, a worldwide brand of AGCO,
Your Agriculture Company, introduces the new Fendt
700 Series tractors. Built for superior row crop, transport
and loader-tractor performance, each of the six new models offers more
horsepower and 10 percent better fuel economy than previous models. The
tractors boast best-in-class operator control and maneuverability from
exclusive Fendt features like the available VarioActive steering. The 700
Series has a redesigned front axle, capable of handling 12.5 tons while turning
at a 52?degree angle. As a result, the 700 Series has a tighter turn radius and
the toughness to balance the demanding loads typical of field work, loader
applications and using front-mounted implements. A high-visibility cab and
enhanced ride-comfort top off enhancements featured in the series.
“The new Fendt 700 Series tractors offer exceptional visibility,
maneuverability and power-to-weight ratio, making them among the most versatile
tractors for farmers and custom operators during both field and loader work.
These tractors are truly all-around workhorses,” says Carlton Self, product
marketing specialist, high horsepower tractors. “They now have all of the
exceptional ride-comfort expected from the latest-generation Fendt tractors and
— as a bonus — even greater fuel efficiency.”
A featured addition for the 700 Series is the all-new five-post cab with a
vertically panoramic front windshield and full-length right-hand window,
bringing the 700 Series cab visibility in line with wants and needs of the most
discerning operators. The VisioPlus cab offers 77 degrees of upward visibility.
Plus, unlike many competitive tractors that offer no cab suspension, all 700
Series cabs are carried on either mechanical or pneumatic suspension systems.
Stable, balanced steering for nimble
versatility
The all-new VarioActive steering system provides a variable gear ratio for
best-in-class maneuverability at any speed of operation. Quick, responsive
steering makes the system ideal for front loader work or headland turns. The
700 Series promises fast and comfortable turns even at slower speeds. One turn
of the steering wheel when VarioActive is activated equals 43.3 degrees of
wheel turn, versus just 26.6 without.
These new tractors also offer another Fendt exclusive — self-activated FSC
(Fendt Stability Control) that takes steering precision, driving stability and
braking safety to new levels. At tractor speeds above 12.5 miles per hour, FSC
locks the differential and dampens side-to-side movement to ensure maximum
stability during rapid, on-road transport. When speeds drop below the FSC
threshold, the system automatically disengages to ensure maximum ground contact
with all four tires.
Strong for their size
The 700 Series offers the exceptionally reliable and productive power dairy
farmers, hay growers, specialty crop producers and custom operators have come
to expect from Fendt. The new series is capable of handling up to 39,600 pounds
gross weight. Like all Fendt tractors, the 700 Series is carefully engineered
to transfer more horsepower to the ground.
While tough and powerful, the 700 Series tractors are light on their feet. The
maximum unladen weight is just 17,416 pounds, translating to a power-to-weight
ratio of 72 lbs/hp. Engineered with a flexible system for ballasting the
tractor with easy on-and-off front and rear weights the distribution can be
adjusted to 60 percent of the weight on the rear axle for a 60:40 ratio, or
vice versa. In addition, optional rear wheel weights–each
2,205-pounds–can be integrated into the rims to further increase pulling and
loading power while maintaining overall tractor width.
Connections and capacity enhance
versatility
The 700 Series tractors offer 22 equipment connections, including six rear and
two front double-acting hydraulic valves, factory-installed front and rear
three-point hitches, and full ISOBUS connection. All this connectivity ensures
versatile operation and trouble-free teamwork between the tractor and
implement.
The Fendt 700 Series tractors are rated with a maximum rear lift capacity of
21,120 pounds, so even heavy, rear-mounted implements can be lifted to the
fullest height with ease.
Front-axle suspension, with leveling control, and a mechanical three-point cab
suspension ensure an exceptional driving experience. For the highest level of
comfort, the tractor can be equipped with pneumatic cab suspension and active
seat suspension.
Tier 4i engine for more power, less
fuel
The six models in the 700 Series range from 110 to 195 PTO hp, and are powered
by Deutz 6.06-liter, six-cylinder turbocharged engines built exclusively for
Fendt. Coupled with the proven, step-less Vario CVT and Fendt-exclusive Tractor
Management System (TMS), the Deutz engine with SCR technology provides
exceptional fuel efficiency, whether cruising down the road at 31 mph (51 kph)
or tilling soil at 10 mph (16 kph). By using SCR technology, which treats
engine emissions after combustion, the 700 Series tractors are Tier 4-interim
compliant, with an average fuel-use-per hour of 5.3 gallons, a savings of up to
five gallons per 10-hour day.
New Variotronic electronic control
unites all functions in one terminal
Available only from Fendt, the Variotronic electronic control allows the
operator to direct all tractor and implement controls, camera functions,
operation documentation and the automatic steering system using the available
10.4-inch touch-screen Varioterminal. It can display up to four applications,
including video camera inputs, simultaneously.
The option of fully integrated satellite-assisted steering guidance, which
reduces overlap an average of 6 percent, helps deliver a corresponding 6
percent savings in fuel and inputs such as seed and fertilizer. Equipped with a
headland management system as a standard feature, these tractors help make sure
the last turn is as precise as the first. And with the easy-to-see
Varioterminal, even at night or in poor visibility conditions, operators can
achieve optimum results by minimizing operator fatigue and operating errors
during a long day.
The documentation system of the Varioterminal records relevant data with a
minimum of effort. Data can be transferred wirelessly from tractor to office
computer and from computer to tractor as well.
