It might have been a re sprayed, re badged version of something else or it might just have been the best small rake on the market. Does Fendt have to be all about 939's and the latest 1050? Why aren't small farms entitled to have premium kit rather than cheap or second hand stuff if they feel it offers better value for money. Fendt seem to make quite a few of the orchard type tractors which are a long way from some of the big arable tractors they produce but which are no doubt still marketed as premium tractors. The small rake may not be a big seller over here but as a brand I believe they have a very strong following in Germany, it may have been put on the stand not for the number of sales it would generate but as a statement that Fendt has a diverse portfolio of machinery to suit all farm sizes, not just the big boys.Had to laugh at LAMMA, there was a little single rotor rake, single axle in Fendt colours. Watering down their "premium" image putting their name on that IMO!
