Fendt unleashes the 1000 Vario Gen4 tractor series. Introduced in 2015, the new generation features a full range of upgrades and innovations. The Gen4 range makes its global debut at this week’s Farm Progress Show in Decatur, IL USA.
The Fendt 1000 Series has for a decade been recognized for delivering productivity and versatility in high-horsepower applications. That legacy now continues with the introduction of the 1000 Vario Gen4.
With new, bold styling, this next generation features a modern, commanding look. New optional interior comforts include foot pegs, an added cool box and cabin dust extraction for an improved operator experience.
The updated line will be available in four models: 1040, 1044, 1048 and 1052, ranging from 426 up to 550 horsepower for the most demanding tillage, heavy-duty seeding and transport work.
All new models come standard with the latest 12.4L MAN engine, which includes the Fendt iD low-speed concept for increased torque at lower RPMs, and DynamicPerformance for optimized horsepower delivery and improved efficiency.
Equipped for the future, the 1000 Gen4 Series can be optionally unlocked from the factory for PTx OutRun grain cart and tillage automation solutions. The OutRun automation system, delivers autonomous operation to increase efficiency, reduce operator fatigue and ensure crops can be harvested on time.
“With the Gen4, we’ve raised the bar again and not just in terms of power but in operator comfort, fuel efficiency and digital integration,” said David Soliday, Senior Marketing Manager at Fendt North America. “Most importantly, we’re preparing customers for the future with the first Fendt tractor that can support autonomous operation through PTx OutRun.
