Fendt have anounced that they are now offering an increasingly comprehensive range of essential farm machinery - the latest being hay and forage equipment, which joins the Fendt Katana self-propelled forage harvester.

Starting with the Fendt Cutter drum mower, this unit features four drums working away to produce high quality forage.

To accommodate uneven terrain, Fendt has developed two fronted-mounted versions - one of which has an oscillating linkage that pivots from side to side, working in synchronicity with the load-relief front linkage control on the Fendt tractor.

Those with a preference for the rear-mounted format can chose between a three-point, sidemounted mower, with spring relief ensuring low ground pressure, or the three-point, centremounted option with its TurboLift system.

All four mower versions are described by Fendt as 'operator-friendly', allowing comfortable access for maintenance, with the quick-release blade system keeping downtime to a minimum.

The Fendt Slicer disc mower delivers a 'perfect cut', achieved at speed, free of soil contamination over any terrain and engineered with the needs of smaller-to-medium sized farming operations in mind. A lightweight design and ideal specification provides a working width of more than 3.0m.

The flat cutter bar, with spring relief as standard, adapts quickly to the terrain, following the ground contours. Fendt Slicer mowers can be front-, centre- or sidemounted – or as a rear mower combination with a working width of up to 9.3m. 

The Fendt Former hay rake offers full operator control of the entire hay raking process and is maintained at all working widths, from 3.4m to a substantial 12.5m, centred on the single, double or four-rotor rakes. The versatile design of the Former, whether central or side delivery, ensures the swath is exactly where it needs to be, while conversion to a two-swath deposit on the side delivery hay rake takes a matter of seconds.

The Twister incorporates a number of clever features to ensure a high quality result: patented traction compression system, integrated swing brake and the edge spreading mechanism – to name just three.

Compact and safe in transport, wide and stable in the field, the Twister turns and loosens the crop uniformly and features optimal ground contour reading. Strong on both design and durability, the rotor heads protect the gear mechanism from dust, so reducing the maintenance requirement.
