Fendt integrates forage solutions
For the first time, Fendt presented implements from the Feucht factory at Agritechnica 2015 as part of its own product range. At that time, the machines were mainly green-painted products from the existing range.
Over the past nine years, both the Fendt product range and the production and development location for green forage solutions have been continuously expanded and improved. This means that the requirements of Fendt customers can be better met. The rising demand reflects the positive effects of investments in the development of an extensive product range and the expansion of production. Today, Fendt offers mowers, tedders and rakes for the global grassland market – from Europe to Australia and New Zealand.
Technical innovations in forage solutions
Developments such as the Streamline cutterbar, the automatic lateral displacement of the Fendt Slicer FQ front mower – controlled by data from the rear mower – the speed-dependent control of the contact pressure with the Fendt TurboLift cutterbar relief or the automated conditioner setting for the Fendt Slicer 960 KCB mower combination, which was honoured with the Silver DLG Innovation Award, demonstrate the further development of products for professional users.
Fendt FlexHigh
The latest development of the Fendt Former C two-rotor central delivery rake completes the range of smart Fendt Former rakes from two-rotor to four-rotor rakes with ISOBUS functions, such as the in-house development of the flexHigh rake height adjustment included in the Fendt proConnect ISOBUS package.
Compact and lightweight: The Fendt Twister 601 DN in alpine use
With its wide variety of machines, Fendt covers the needs of different customer groups. Specially developed compact and lightweight solutions for the Alpine region is part of the product range, as are machines for in-house mechanisation. With its range of ISOBUS-compatible grassland solutions, Fendt fulfils the requirements of professional farms and contractors. These include, for example, the Fendt Former 14055 PRO four-rotor rake or the Fendt Slicer 960 KCB rear mower.
Fendt Lotus 1250
The new developments of the green forage machines were preceded by numerous conversion and modernisation measures. Investments totalling EUR 21.6 million from 2018 onwards are evidence of the location's significant further development. The ground-breaking ceremony for the new assembly hall for mowers took place in 2018. SAP was implemented in the same year. This allows information from production to be managed more efficiently and orders to be processed more effectively. The Fendt Lotus tedder series was successfully integrated into production at the Feucht location in 2019. Further investments in 2020 and 2021 improved paint quality, assembly and logistics processes as well as quality control. These were rewarded with ISO certification, among other things.
In the years that followed, the logistics at the factory and delivery to dealers were comprehensively reorganised. Today, a new storage concept and the new logistics centre ensure high delivery quality of the machines.
The most recent remodelling at the Feucht location included the creation of a new dispatch area with several covered loading ramps, which now ensures that all machines can be dispatched nationally and internationally regardless of production times. This new division was also created under the leadership of Dr Ute David, who has been in charge of the production factory in Feucht since 01 May 2024. She was previously responsible for Sales & Operations Planning at the location.
Fendt factory in Feucht opens its doors to farmers
A new visitor concept for the factory was also developed this year. From October 2024, customer groups will be able to visit the Fendt factory in Feucht. As usual with Fendt, registration and appointment coordination are handled by the customer's Fendt dealer.
