For night-time work

Bright working moments are provided by the optional lighting package with five LED worklights.

Follows at a click

The following control is carried out electronically via the time and travel signal of the tractor, can be individually adjusted and thus enables perfectly shaped swaths to be placed at the end of the field - comfortably from the tractor seat thanks to ISOBUS.

Comfortably wide

With the aid of ISOBUS, the working and swath widths are adjusted directly from the tractor cab. The swath width is adjusted synchronously at all times via the rear rotors, while the working width can be adjusted both synchronously and independently for the left and right sides via the front rotors. This has advantages with one-sided obstacles such as trees.

Soil-friendly

The optimised suspension relief ensures a ride that is gentle on the ground even at high speeds

myMemory - I remember

The myMemory function of the ISOBUS system represents the memory of the hay rake. The memory function recalls the last set values at the touch of a button and off you go.
• Automated adjustment of raking height, working width and
rake width
• Time saving during field change
• Reduction of operating errors

Comfortably high

With the hydraulic comfort rake height adjustment, the setting of one rotor is sufficient.
The other rotors automatically adapt to this.

Compact and safe

The wide-track undercarriage ensures a low centre of gravity and keeps the 14055 PRO stable in all situations - whether on the road or on a slope. The hydraulically height-adjustable axle ensures a transport height of less than 4 metres with the tines attached.

gapControl - leave no gaps

The gapControl function of the ISOBUS system provides continuous
monitoring of the overlapping area of the rotors and thus enables the
efficient utilisation of the working width
• The overlap area of the front and rear rotors is shown on the display
• Integrated warning function when the critical area is reached
• Increased performance through optimisation of the working width

Stays on the ground

The fully cardanic suspension of the rotors ensures a continuous and independent adjustment to the ground contour in longitudinal and transverse inclination. This allows the crop to be recovered without loss, even in ridged terrain with reduced raw ash content.

Looks good and Can do anything

The functionally designed hood made of durable plastic is ergonomically shaped, prevents lining deposits and creates a dynamic modern appearance. All hydraulic components run protected inside the cover. At the same time, attention was paid in the design to optimised accessibility for maintenance and adjustment work.

Automatically the right raking height

With the flexHIGH system, the Fendt Former 14055 PRO can be adjusted to the operating speed. When you drive faster, the resistance on the rotor at the front is increased by the larger volume of forage. This means that tines may be bent back and that the set operating height is not maintained. flexHIGH solves this problem by lowering the rotor slightly at higher speeds, therefore ensuring that no forage is left behind. The current position is always shown on the display via the position sensor. When standing, the rotor is raised so that the tines do not scrape the floor.

Start-Up

All four rotors lower down to the pre-set clearance height

Increase the travel speed

All four rotors lower independent of the travel speed to below the pre-set clearance height

Standstill

All four rotors raise the tines above the pre-set clearance height

It doesn’t get easier than this: The power of ISOBUS allows you to control any Fendt Former 4-rotor hay rake PRO model function at the touch of a screen.

Intelligent control

For the perfect headland, a smart sequence control oversees the lifting of the rotors, based on time or the tractor’s displacement signal. You can also adjust the lifting height on headlands to five levels. All values can be easily changed using the Varioterminal or other ISOBUS-capable monitors. Functions can also be conveniently activated at the touch of a button, or can be loaded onto the Fendt Vario joystick. With the innovative Fendt Variotronic^TI headland management on the Fendt Vario tractors, headlands are handled like clockwork.

Fendt Former Two-Rotor Central Delivery Hay Rake

Power comes from the centre.

The Fendt Former two-rotor rakes with centre swath delivery are available for every harvesting requirement. They are impressive in all performance segments - from the entry-level model Former 671 with low power requirements to the all-round models Former 760 C, 860 C and 920 C, as well as the professional machines Former 860 PRO, 920 PRO and 1000 PRO. These versatile machines are characterised in particular by their raking quality, high flexibility of use, wide range of variants and intuitive operation.

Swathing with the Fendt factor - unique ISOBUS technology.
The integration of ISOBUS in this rake category is a milestone. It enables the automatic adjustment of work processes directly from the driver's seat. The new intuitive user interface makes operation child's play. The new Fendt Former twin-rotor centre-swath rakes thus represent a significant
development to make grassland management more efficient and productive.

The right drive

A free wheel has been integrated in the Fendt Former drive train, and each rotor is fitted with separate overload protection.

The Fendt Former hay rake implement driveline has a maintenance-free free wheel and a slip clutch for each rotor. The benefits are immediately obvious: When the PTO is disengaged, the rotors don’t come to a juddering halt, but gently come to a standstill. The rotor arms can also be made ready for transport straight after disengaging the PTO. to reliably protect the drive train. And that’s not all – the straight drive train ensures a long service life.

Very easy to adjust

The Fendt Former two-rotor centre delivery hay rake comes with easy operating width adjustment as standard. The four operating widths on the Fendt Former 671 are adjusted without tools using a lever. On some other models, a stepless hydraulic operating width adjustment system also comes as standard. All other models apart from the 8055 PRO: The transport height always remains low regardless of the operating width you have set.

Using the hydraulic operating width adjustment, the operating width can be conveniently adjusted without leaving the tractor cab. The easily readable indicator gives you information on the adjusted operating width.

The mechanical operating width adjustment can be completed in just 4 steps – without the need for any tools.

Ideal for headlands

The Fendt Formers are manoeuvrable and compact in the transport position. This means transport speed of up to 40 km/h are easily achievable.

The centre swath cloth helps forms the perfect swath. In order that high swathes and the swathes on the headland are not pulled apart unnecessarily, the swath cloth automatically folds up as soon as the rotor arms move into the headland position. The swath cloth also automatically folds of course in the transport position. An optional flow divider (depending on the model), which is supplied as standard on some models, the lifts the rotors in perfect sync.

Two-Rotor Side delivery Hay Rakes

Maximum flexibility with easy handling.

The Fendt Former two-rotor hay rakes with side swath deposit gives you the flexibility you need for your everyday routine. It allows you to decide quickly and easily, and with no tools, whether to deposit two swathes or a single swath. The overlapping of the two rotors is extensive when depositing a single swath, which ensures a clean forage transfer from the first to the second rotor therefore guaranteeing best results, even in difficult conditions and when cornering.

Perfect cam track.

The Fendt 7850 and 7850 Pro shaped hay rakes deliver maximum ground clearance in the field thanks to CamControl. CamControl is the hydraulic adjustment of the cam track. In the field, the tines are automatically raised to the horizontal. The ground clearance gained in this way means that the centre of gravity remains low and the existing swaths on the headland undamaged.

CamControl optimises the lift-out timing of the tine arms into the horizontal, passive delivery position when lifting the rotors.

Lifting height with CamControl: More than 50 cm ground clearance.

Efficient deposit

An automatic sequence control is integrated as standard so that the two-rotor hay rake lifts perfectly on headlands. This ensures that the rotors are lifted and lowered at offset times and therefore always ensures a perfect swath, even on headlands. The lifting process can therefore be adjusted to suit the road speed and operating conditions.

Perfectly sorted

Typically Fendt: The Fendt Former hay rakes are planned down to the last detail, and nowhere is this clearer than on the hydraulic connections. Thanks to the KENNFIX® connector, the long hours of sorting hoses are a thing of the past, and the connections which belong together can be permanently identified.

The Fendt Former two-rotor side delivery hay rakes are also quick and safe on the roads, and can be folded to form a compact unit.

	Working width	Tine arms per rotor

Embodies versatility and drive.

Pure flexibility

The Fendt Former 1502 is a lightweight that packs a punch. Thanks to its trailed design, this manoeuvrable and versatile machine is ideally suited for large working widths of up to 7.00 metres (with two-swath delivery) even with smaller tractors. In the case of one-swath delivery, the working width can be hydraulically set steplessly between 3.60 m and 6.30 m. This allows maximum flexibility in use. Tailor your swath shot to suit your current harvesting conditions. Thanks to the standard sequence control, the rotors are lifted at the end of the field according to a time delay, which produces perfect swath ends.

	Working width	Number tine arms per rotor
Former 1502	3,60 - 6,30 / 7,00 m	12 / 12

Optimal adjustment

Even in the toughest conditions, you can always rely on perfect ground following thanks to the Cardanic rotor suspension and twistable frame. As the rotors are independent of the frame, they can be precisely adjusted both longitudinally and diagonally. This minimises forage contamination and grips everything cleanly. Even the crop which gets into the dips and recesses is baled without losing it. The horizontal tilt of the rotors can be easily set adjusted using the cam bolts, and also even more precise raking. The cam track can be adjusted separately to optimise swath delivery, regardless of the forage type.

Guaranteed smooth running

The large 18/8.50-8 tyres make the running extremely smooth. This not only guarantees that you can work well and comfortably, but also ensures safe transporting, during which each rotor runs on 4 wheels. Tow bars or adjustable drawbars allow you to hitch and unhitch the machine really easily. When it comes to safety, the rotary hay rake scores well with a free wheel and overload protection as standard in the drive train.

The front rotor has 4 hyper balloon wheels 18/8.50-8. Optionally, gauge wheels of the same size can be fitted on the left and right.

The rotors’ horizontal tilt can be easily adjusted by loosening the clamp bolt and then simply turning the cam bolts.

Optionally, the rear swath former can also be operated hydraulically.

Fendt Former Single-Rotor Hay Rake

Great work: a good job done, and that goes for small tractors too.

Its lightweight and stable design, and the low power requirement means that the Fendt Former single-rotor hay rake is also ideal for large working widths with small tractors. When it comes to quality of work, the single-rotor hay rakes are more than large models: Clean raking – even on slopes – is guaranteed. The hay rake closely follows the tractor’s wayline thanks to the headstock with trailing device, And the swath shot on the right-hand side gives you a constant view of the results of your work.

	Working width	Tine arms per rotor
Former 351 DS	3,60 m	10
Former 351 DN	3,60 m	10
Former 391 DN	3,80 m	10
Former 400 DN	3,80 m	10
Former 426 DN	4,20 m	12
Former 456 DN	4,50 m	12

Despite their compact size, the Fendt Former singlerotor hay rakes have a very wide chassis. This ensures the best possible ground following, even on slopes. A tandem axle is fitted on request to improve the ground clearance and stability once more. The longitudinal tilt is adjusted using the tractor’s lower link or the height of the feeler wheel. The diagonal tilt is adjusted via the screw.

The swath width is easily determined by the position of the swath cloth. This can be steplessly and conveniently adjusted in the position. When you change from transport to operating mode, the cloth simply folds up or down. The spring-balanced swath cloth and hoop guard makes it easy. On request, the swath cloth even folds out hydraulically and therefore conveniently from the operator's seat.
