Fendt IDEAL combine harvester

The lift cylinders on the Fendt IDEAL combine also provide easy clearance even with wide and heavy headers. On the IDEAL 7 and 8 models, the cylinders measure 85 mm in diameter and can lift up to 5 tonnes. On the high-end models, IDEAL 9 and 10, the cylinders measure 92 mm in diameter and can lift up to 6.5 tonnes. The lifting design gives a maximum ground clearance of 1270 mm in the up position. Two cylinders on the crop elevator compensate for tilting. They respond quickly and precisely to changing surfaces and compensate up to +/- 8°.

All components of the rotors such as the rasp bars and rotor tines are arranged in four rows like a helix. The front part of the rotors consists of four rasp bars installed lengthways which loosen the grains from the ears. The concaves below that are available in different designs for the best results in any application. They can be replaced quickly and easily from the side, depending on the application. The gaps between concaves are hydraulically adjusted up to a maximum of 35 mm. The rotor tines are tilted 20° to the rear, which divides the crop into the helix sections and reliably and gently runs it around the rotor. This prevents unexpected load peaks on the rotor and there are no edges for the product to stick to.

The long preparation floors, high partitions and the long shaker shoes provide for exceptional cleaning in the Fendt IDEAL. Most short straw and chaff is separated from the grain on the first drop between preparation floor and intermediate floor. The second drop to the top sieve then separates the impurities further. A strong air flow ensures perfect cleaning results. The longest sieves on the market with the fitted partitions mean optimal grain purity. In order to deliver the best results under all conditions, the opening range of the sieves can be conveniently and easily electrically adjusted from the cab. The IDEAL 10 features curved drop steps. Thanks to the curved shape, the heavy grains gather in the lower part of the step, while the laws of physics mean the lighter parts of the crop flow are in the top section. The curved steps allow for a wider air outlet, thus the air volume can be substantially increased.

The slimline chassis of the Fendt IDEAL combine also allows for large surface areas in your tyre configuration, with an outside width measuring less than 3.3 m with 800/70R38 wheels. Even Fendt IDEAL combines with ParaLevel slope compensation, which makes adjustments for inclines of up to 14%, can have 800/70R38 wheels on the front axle. This will keep your transport width under 3.5 m.
