AGCO shows off Fendt IDEAL 10T combine at National Farm Machinery Show

Mar 03, 2022

This machine is the largest available combine in North America

Visitors of the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Ky., experienced something big when visiting the Fendt booth.

AGCO Corporation showed off the Fendt IDEAL 10T combine, which stands out from other combines for reasons other than its black paint job.

It is “the largest combine in the industry in North America,” Tyler Hillman, a product marketing specialist with AGCO, told Farms.com.

The combine boasts 790 maximum engine horsepower, a 485-bushel grain tank and is able to unload bushels at a rate of six bushels per second.

The IDEAL 10T’s track drive system is designed specifically for the IDEAL 10T combine.

It too is unique.

“It has the largest footprint in the industry to keep compaction at a minimum,” Hillman said.

One optional feature on the IDEAL 10T is IDEALdrive.

“It removes the steering wheel allowing the operator to see right out the front of the combine where all that crop is coming in,” Hillman said.

IDEALdrive also helps minimize operator fatigue and provides a better operating experience, Hillman added.

A team from Farms.com were among the 255,000 attendees to walk the 1.2 million square-feet of exhibit space between Feb. 16 and 19.

Video: The new ARION 5 CMATIC. The best choice – whatever lies ahead. ?

The CLAAS ARION 5 CMATIC – a tractor for a wide range of tasks. Whether mowing, cultivating, swathing or baling: the new ARION 5 CMATIC impresses with its versatility and adapts to changing tasks. ?
Equipped with the tried-and-tested CMATIC continuously variable transmission and a 4-cylinder engine delivering up to 180 PS, it guarantees the perfect balance of impressive performance, excellent driving comfort and outstanding efficiency. ?

On many farms, requirements change by the hour. One moment it’s road transport, the next it’s mowing grassland, then cultivating the field. This is quickly followed by raking, baling and wrapping – each task places its own demands on speed, precision and power. Via the Power-Beyond connection, the load-sensing system pumps up to 150 litres of oil per minute. This is ideal for heavy-duty hydraulic implements in rapidly changing operations. The ARION 5 CMATIC provides reliable support in every one of these situations, when every minute counts on the farm. ?

This is precisely where its strength lies: not in excelling in a single discipline, but in switching between very different tasks without compromising on reliability or performance. For farms where no two days are the same, it is precisely this flexibility that is crucial – the ARION 5 CMATIC delivers it without wasting valuable time between jobs. ?
