High performance with absolute reliability

The first square baler left the factory in Hesston, Kansas, over 35 years ago. It laid down the foundation for one of the greatest success stories in harvesting technology. The Fendt square balers have been produced here, in the sole possession of the AGCO Corporation, since 2000. Based on decades of experience in development and production, they are distinguished by stability, durability and perfected technology. Through continual, practice-driven improvements, Fendt can offer you a choice of six high-capacity balers today.

	Bale size (width x height)
990	80 cm x 90 cm
1270	120 cm x 70 cm
1290	120 cm x 90 cm
1290 XD	120 cm x 90 cm
12130	120 cm x 130 cm

For highest speeds and maximum throughput

Since they were launched in Germany in 2002, the Fendt square balers have enjoyed an excellent reputation for their rugged and durable design as well as high output. When developing the next generation, the focus was on further improving these positive properties, optimising operation and simplifying maintenance. A new series has been developed that unites all of these requirements and is also exceptionally well adapted to the Vario tractors in terms of their design and technical specifications.

The basis for perfectly compressed bales

The crop pickup plays a decisive role in the performance of a baler. The 2.26 m wide pickup on the Fendt square balers ensures clean crop pickup from the very beginning. Then the centring augers guide the material effectively into the pre-compression chamber. This guarantees a high output.

Additional centring augers ensure uniform crop pick up and optimal filling of the pre-compression chamber.

A new roller pressure pad and a large deflector plate ensure uniform crop flow into the baler.
The lowering height is set without tools, simply by lifting the pickup and inserting a splint in the desired hole.
The gauge wheels prevent the pickup from lowering too far and ensure clean crop pickup. They can be removed for transport.
The 128 tines ensure the crop is picked up completely.

Xtra Density – the high-output baler

35 percent heavier main gearbox

In order to achieve a higher bale weight with a higher output, many things have been optimised in the XD. Strengthening the drives, such as the main gearbox, chains and gears stood in the foreground during development. In particular, the new XD flywheel, which weighs 545 kg, is almost twice as heavy as the standard version. New plunger arms ensure safe transfer of the higher forces. All together, this makes it possible to exert more force on the plunger. The counter piece, the bale chamber, also has several improvements that increase friction. These include a 40 cm longer bale chamber, stronger hydraulic cylinders and optimised bale chamber flaps. Another example would be that the turning point of the side walls has been positioned further back to generate more friction on the sides.

Extra heavy

The lowest possible transport cost per kilogramme crop is one of the most important yardsticks for profitable farming. Fendt offers the perfect solution for this – the new Xtra Density square balers. Completely reinforced drivelines and enhanced stability of the bale chamber enable up to 20 percent heavier bales than standard models.

Satisfy your hunger for power

The industry press also praises the square baler 1290 S XD for its output. “Believe it or not, we were able to achieve weights of 479 to 499 kg, at the maximum set compression and a bale length of 2.40 m! At times of 31 to 33 seconds per bale this converts to a peak output of up to 57.4 t/h – with a compression of almost 193 kg/m3, sensational figures! Conclusion: When it comes to output and compression, the Fendt 1290 S XD plays in the Champions League.” – profi, 03/2017

The 545 kg flywheel enables uniform and smooth running, while ensuring high power transfer.

A new high-capacity gearbox is used in the XD baler. Overall, the XD gearbox is 35% heavier than the standard model and can therefore generate even more compression pressure.

Typical Fendt – everything in place

At Fendt, innovations are not only found in key technology, but also in the details and the ease of maintenance. The large bonnets permit perfect access to the machine for maintenance work. When it turns dark, additional lights under the bonnet aid the operator. Automatic knotter and chain lubrication are also part of the operator friendly maintenance of the square baler, in addition to the long-life alignment of the chains and drives.

Ease of maintenance was a main focus during the development of the Fendt square balers. Large opening side panels and grease-sealed bearings significantly reduce the time required for maintenance.

The steerable tandem axle with new optional 620/40-22.5 tyres guarantees a large contact area and a high degree of manoeuvrability.
The hydraulic support foot permits easy and fast hooking and unhooking to the tractor.
Automatic chain lubrication of all the most important main drive chains is new. The lubrication intervals can be conveniently set via the terminal.
The hydraulic bale ejector and hydraulic foldable bale chute require a minimum of time when changing to road transport.
Pre-wiring and a camera port in the terminal are standard. This permits a camera to be installed at the end of the baling chamber, where it provides a convenient view all around the machine.

Fendt Service: Extended warranty according to requirements

In addition to innovative technology and high quality, Fendt also offers first-class service for vehicles and operators. We strive to offer customers maximum profitability and competitiveness in a dynamic market. This is why we offer an after-sales extended warranty to amaximum overall term of 5 years for the Fendt square balers.

Well-thought out design

A hydraulically actuated bale ejector and foldable bale chute facilitate bale handling. With a possible transport speed of up to 60 km/h, operators move ahead faster. An optionally available hydraulic support foot is available, which makes hooking and unhooking the baler even easier.

Tyre options

Fendt has an answer for reducing soil compaction. With 620/40-22.5 tyres, the machine now has a larger contact area on the field and remains under a transport width of 3.30 m. The large tyres are combined with a tandem steering axle for fast and short turning manoeuvres. The steering axle is also gentle on the grass sward when making turns in grassland.
