AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, showcased a one-of-a-kind golden Fendt® tractor at the U.S. Capitol from August 3 – 8, commemorating the Great American Farmers Market, a weeklong celebration of food, family and farming. This striking machine features a full gold exterior, a patriotic window wrap and a Farmer-First message: “We Support American Farmers.”
Built in Jackson, Minnesota, the shiny Fendt 1167 Vario® MT track tractor symbolizes Fendt’s commitment to U.S. growers, exemplified by the brand’s Gold Star Customer Care program. Every Fendt product includes a three-year full warranty with maintenance and inspections.
“Fendt is proud to stand with American farmers,” said Mike Long, Vice President, Fendt North America. “This golden tractor is a tribute to their resilience, innovation and the vital role they play in helping feed the world.”
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins was the first to sign the tractor earlier this year at Commodity Classic in Denver. Several dignitaries added their signatures last week in Washington D.C.
Following its Capitol appearance, the golden tractor will return to the Fendt Lodge in Jackson, Minnesota, the brand’s official North American home, before heading to the Farm Progress Show in Illinois later this month to continue its celebration of American farmers.
