Start of series production of the new Fendt Katana 650

“Our location Hohenmölsen has a high level of competence in the assembly of the forage harvesters. Since 2011 all of the models are being produced there”, so Ekkehart Gläser, Managing Director Production AGCO/Fendt. “Similar to the Vario tractor from Marktoberdorf the new Katana model undergoes a two-hour test procedure to determine the quality of the self-propolled machine. But what we have introduced for the first time: One of the first machines is being send from the production line directly into field use to analyse and optimize immediate readiness and quality of the forage harvester.”

The ability to split at optimum performance has been extended to up to 30 mm with new crackers. The integrated V-spiral groove defibers the crop even better during long chop lengths, thus increasing the quality of the harvested material. With the new RS roller cracker, the contractor can meet all the requirements of his customers, whether dairy cattle or biogas farmers. Fendt thus offers a wide range of applications with just two options.
