High Horsepower Tractor Perfect for Tillage and Grain Carts

The Fendt 1100 Series is designed for farmers seeking performance and flexibility in their operations. 

This tractor comes in four sizes,  making it suitable for various large-scale farming tasks. 

  • 1151 Vario MT: 511 HP 
  • 1156 Vario MT: 564 HP 
  • 1162 Vario MT: 618 HP 
  • 1167 Vario MT: 673 HP 

The first three models feature a 15-liter engine, while the largest model boasts a 16-liter engine, offering a broad horsepower range to meet different field needs. 

Kenton Vaughn with AGCO recently met with Farms.com to talk about this series. 

He said the Fendt 1100 Vario Series is ideal for tillage, large grain carts, and oversized planters, even in smaller or irregularly shaped fields. 

A standout feature is the tractor’s impressive turning radius, making it easy to navigate tight areas. 

This is enhanced by the steerable 3-point hitch and steerable drawbar, helping the operator move around corners and obstacles with greater control and precision. 

When it comes to hydraulic power, the Fendt 1100 Vario Series offers two flow rate options. 

The standard provides about 50 gallons per minute, which works well for basic tillage and hauling tasks. For more demanding equipment like planters, there’s a twin pump system with over 100 gallons per minute flow. 

The tractor also features a unique cooling system design, pulling air from the top—where it’s cleanest and coolest—rather than through the front, reducing dirt intake and enhancing engine health and efficiency. 

In terms of appearance and build, the Fendt 1100 Vario Series combines a sleek design with rugged performance — not the most important aspect of a tractor, but if helps if you look good in the field.

Veteran Farmers: A Legacy of Service in Rural America

Video: Veteran Farmers: A Legacy of Service in Rural America

Veterans Day is a time to honor the men and women who have selflessly protected our freedoms and values. And for some, the transition from military service to civilian life brings them back to the farm.

At Farm Bureau, we believe it’s important to not only celebrate veterans but also those who continue to make a difference in agriculture and their community. We've partnered with Farm Credit to establish the Veteran Farmer Award of Excellence to shine a light on those who have continued to go above and beyond to serve their communities.

This year, we recognize retired Colonel Joe Ricker as the inaugural Veteran Farmer Award of Excellence winner. Joe served over 30 years in the Army before retiring from the Pentagon and completing tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Since leaving the Army, his commitment to excellence in farming and enriching the lives of veterans has blossomed in a myriad of ways in both his local community of Wilkinson, Indiana, and across the country. Joe grows apples and raises bees on his farm in Indiana. Joe founded “Veterans IN Farming,” an organization, now with more than 1,100 members, dedicated to providing veterans in Indiana with the tools and training to succeed in agriculture.

The American Farm Bureau Federation is an independent, non-governmental, voluntary organization, comprised of and directed by farm and ranch families who engage in all types of food, fuel and fiber production.
