The prestigious prize promoted by the Italian magazine TRATTORE is awarded by an international jury of experts, who revealed the winner on 9 November, the opening day of EIMA 2022.
The Fendt tractor is equipped with AGCO-Power’s latest 7.5-litre, 6-cylinder engine, developing a maximum output of 283 horsepower and up to 20 additional horsepower in all conditions.
The Fendt 728 Vario tractor comes with a new transmission, a new hydraulic cooling system and safe cab filtration (cat.4). Among the new features of this tractor are separate hydro motors driving the front and rear axles, constant 4WD, automatically adjusted for best traction, Fendt ID low speed concept, intelligent Vario Drive, integrated tyre pressure control system, superior manoeuvrability, very low power-to-weight ratio, new generation front loader, new premium driver’s seat and FendtONE ‘on&offboard’ digital world.
The Fendt 700 Vario Series models are our best-selling tractors and are used by farmers around the world. For our Fendt engineers, it was therefore a challenge to make something better. Factors such as low fuel consumption combined with high performance of up to 300 hp, soil conservation and maximum flexibility for different applications are very important to our professional customers worldwide. I am very pleased to receive this award for our new top model Fendt 728 Vario from an international and independent jury of experts.
Christoph Gröblinghoff, Chairman of the Fendt Management Board.
