After 5 years of waiting, the most significant event organised by Fendt in Spain took place once again, this time in our region, La Mancha (Manzanares - Ciudad Real). Nearly 200 tractors and almost 3,000 attendees gathered for r the event, celebrating the spirit, pride, and sense of belonging to the Fendt community. Although we were not able to attend, so we cannot give you our first-hand opinion, we would like to share this post to highlight the event and its significance for the German brand.
The event was opened by José Ramón González, Fendt’s Sales Director for Spain and Portugal, who introduced several innovations, most notably the new 600 series tractors, which promises to revolutionize the medium-high horsepower segment This series is distinguished by its 4-cylinder, 5-liter engine, positioning it as a leader in its class.
The full range of Fendt Full Line was on display, from the small Fendt 200 Vario to the Fendt 1050 Vario, combines and forage harvesting machines.
Across different areas of the field, there were specific areas for testing tillage work and demonstrating the latest Fendt technology (PTx), loader and telescopic works, harvesting and forage machinery and an area exclusively dedicated to vineyard work. In terms of implements, we were able to see top quality implements from Ovlac, Aguirre and Maschio Gaspardo.
And to end the day, there was a show in the central exhibition area, hosted by Juan Mari Guajardo (commentator for the Spanish Cycling Tour) and Mario Lallana (Product Engineer at Fendt), featuring:
- Introducing the Fendt 600 Vario.
- A 722 Vario Gen7 with section-controlled sprayer and variable rate control.
- The new ErgoSteer joystick for loader work.
- A 728 Vario Gen7 that demonstrated good suspension at high speeds with mounted implements.
- The pulling power of the 514 Vario with its 4-cylinder engine.
- Races between tractors, such as the 728 Vario Gen7 and a 930 Vario to demonstrate the swing balance at high speeds.
- Loading demonstration of the 1050 Vario (with reversible driving position) with the 211 Vario hitched onto it.
In summary, the Fendt event in La Mancha was a remarkable event of agricultural innovation, highlighting the brand’s commitment to quality and technological advancement. Attendees witnessed first-hand the future of farming machinery and equipment.
