AGCO’s 2024 AE50-Winning Products Focused on Farmers’ Needs
The Fendt 200 Vario ® Series is the brand’s smallest tractor, but it combines all the world-class features Fendt customers expect of its larger tractors with versatility, lightweight maneuverability and high performance to deliver a feeling of ease, even in tough or unique crop conditions. Fendt 200 Vario tractors are available in North America in three models ranging from 94 to 114 rated horsepower and are available in a standard configuration or in three crop variants as the most advanced specialty tractor on the market today. The tractors are powered by the highly reliable AGCO Power™ 3.3 L engine and feature the unique Fendt Vario CVT, allowing operators to spend more time and effort focusing on the task at hand instead of shifting gears.
Fendt’s 600 Vario Series tractor features the all-new AGCO Power Core 50, 4-cylinder, 5.0-liter engine in four models from 164 to 224 maximum horsepower. Coupled with the intelligent Fendt VarioDrive™ CVT transmission, the tractor’s engine produces an efficient and easy-to-operate powertrain that will improve farm productivity. All models have Dynamic Performance (DP) capabilities, which allow the release of up to 15 additional horsepower with the use of smart sensors that determine power demand. The Fendt 600 Vario debuted at Agritechnica 2023 and will be available in North America in 2024.
The Massey Ferguson 500R Series sprayer is a straightforward, dependable and economical option for growers to help them take control of their chemical application, improve yields and reduce costs. The MF 500R comes standard with LiquidLogic ® , which ensures constant circulation through the entire system and offers boom clean out, product recovery and no spray priming capabilities, reducing costs and waste. Smart all-wheel drive (AWD) with the transmission management system allows the machine to operate at a lower engine RPM to save fuel while maintaining pump pressure and spray pattern, ground speed and hydraulic flow. The MF 500R rounds out a complete product lineup for Massey Ferguson from ground prep to harvesting.
