OVER thirty dealerships in the UK are taking delivery of the all-new Fendt 300 and 700 series tractors . The fourth generation 300 series is available with four power outputs ranging from 113 horsepower to 142 horsepower , whilst the 700 series has six models offering 144 to 237 horsepower .

The eagerly awaited new tractors are the first to feature the new FendtOne interface which connects the tractors to a new Fendt farm management system . This enables the farm or fleet manager to send tasks to the tractor ’ s terminal and receive data from the operator when the task is complete .

“ FendtOne is the future for Fendt operators worldwide . The new terminal in the cab , and the option for additional screens , enable operators to structure their tasks more easily and efficiently . It also facilitates the real time transfer of data from tractor

to office so that all tractor tasks can be monitored , and PDF reports created ,” explains Peter Henson , Fendt ’ s UK tractor sales engineer .

A new cab layout with a new armrest and joystick offers a more ergonomic driving experience . The new screens have a six-tile layout and can

display different views on a page layout . A “ one touch ” entry reduces the number of clicks and sub menus needed to access implement settings . “ It ’ s a more intuitive system that has all the same functionality of the previous generation of tractors , but in a more accessible way . Operators can create and save

their own screen layout , this will help those sharing tractors or wanting to save a wide variety of implement settings ,” says Mr Henson .

Further advances in technology include additional section control capacity which will see the new tractors capable of more sections than the current

36 sections as the software develops . “ These machines are about future proofing farming and offering operators the ability to be more precise . FendtOne provides farm managers with the data needed to improve efficiencies and make cost savings ,” concludes Mr Henson .
