AGCO rapidly expanding Fendt brand in North America

AGCO is expanding their Fendt brand tractors in North America.

“Since this time last year, we have added 95 new Fendt dealer locations across North America.”

Conor Bergin, North American Brand Manager for AGCO tells Brownfield at the 2019 Farm Progress Show, they are showcasing the largest number of tractors they have ever had at a North American farm show.

At the show, AGCO debuted their new line of Fendt 900 series tractors. Bergin says this is the sixth generation of the tractors and the first specifically designed for North America.

He says their row crop friendly features benefit crop productivity, operation efficiency and operator comfort.

“When you pair our seamless, very smooth, continuously variable transmission together with an exceptionally smooth and quiet engine concept, you have the smoothest riding tractor in the industry. It’s also extremely fuel efficient. In fact, with the 1000 series, many use cases were conducted, and we were able to cut a costumer’s fuel bill literally in half.”

Bergin tells Brownfield AGCO will be previewing other products in north America including their Momentum planting system in 2020.
