Fendt has introduced its new 800 and 900 Series tractor lines, two four-model families designed for farmers supporting high-intensity dairies and feeding operations to large, broad-acre row crop and small grain farms.
The new 800 Series line is made up of the models 822 (220 HP), 824 (240 HP), 826 (260 HP) and 828 (280 HP). The new 900 Series family includes the 927 (270 HP), 930 (300 HP), 933 (330 HP) and 936 (360 HP, available only in Canada).
“The 800 and 900 lines represent the latest generation of Fendt high-horsepower tractors featuring cutting-edge technology and attention to ease of use and efficiency in the field,” says Conor Bergin, product marketing manager for high-horsepower tractors. “The new six-cylinder Tier 4 Final engines in these lines offer growers more horsepower, better torque curves and improved fuel efficiency, all the while meeting and exceeding today’s stringent clean-air standards.”
The enhanced X5 cab features a host of new features aimed at making long hours in the cab more comfortable and efficient for the operator. Growers can also choose options including front hitch, front PTO or VarioGrip, which provides from-the-cab control of front and rear tire pressure. The new hydraulic system offers 40- to 54-gallons-per-minute flow and supplies the power steering system, eliminating the auxiliary power steering pump and conserving horsepower.
The engines feature twin turbochargers for optimum low- and high-speed-intake air boost, improving engine performance characteristics and reducing fuel consumption. A new three-pump fuel injection system maintains 29,000 psi pressure in the common rail, which feeds fuel injectors capable of multiple discharges of properly atomized fuel per ignition event. Fendt says the boost and fuel injection are responsible for improving fuel economy and low-RPM torque.
A new cylinder head features improved metallurgy and a new valve seat angle for improved breathing and cooling for more efficient fuel use. New all-steel pistons and new oil-cooling modules have been added to further help the tractors dissipate wear-inducing heat and improve durability.
These power plants use a combination of selective catalyst reduction (SCR), cooled exhaust gas recirculation (cEGR) and a coated soot filter (CSF) to meet Tier 4F emissions requirements. New diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tanks are integrated into the fuel tanks.
