Taking on Agco’s tracked tractor baton for Europe, Fendt’s introduction of tracked tractors picks up from where the Challenger brand left off. James Rickard reports.
As reported, Agco decided to pull the plug on the Challenger brand in Europe and absorb all of its products into the Bavarian brand. As well as the tractors, this also includes sprayers, automatically giving Fendt a larger portfolio of equipment and also an alternative to its wheeled tractors in the process.
As in the Challenger days, Fendt’s line-up of tracked tractors includes seven models; three small framed machines from 380 to 431hp and four large framed machines from 492 to 646hp. And as before, all models are built in Agco’s Jackson plant, Minnesota, US.
To find out what impact these updates have on the smaller frame tractors, we try out the 943 Vario MT, hitched to Amazone’s latest 6m Ceus disc/tine cultivator.
