New Holland T7 long wheelbase range tractor

A new power-to-weight ratio and performance standard is introduced with the T7.300 long wheelbase (LWB) tractor with PLM Intelligence. As the most powerful and compact tractor in its power bracket, it delivers more power while maintaining the dimensions and maneuverability of other T7 models. Complementing this performance, the new model utilizes the superior operator environment of the Horizon Ultra cab and a range of inter-cab technology and features to maximize productivity, efficiency and uptime.

The tractor features an enhanced FPT Industrial NEF 6 engine that delivers 280 HP maximum power for draft work and 300 HP for PTO and haulage jobs. It also includes the new Electronic Variable Geometry Turbo, which ensures high torque and fuel efficiency at lower RPMs. Contributing to overall efficiency is an upgraded version of the Auto Command transmission function. Overall, the new T7.300 LWB tractor helps operators reduce stops by increasing fuel capacity by 18% and decreasing service intervals by 50% compared to some competitors.

The capabilities of the T7.300 LWB tractor feature increased axle functions and higher weight-holding features. The increased traction and soil performance of 2.05-meter/6.7-foot-tall tires, along with dimension continuity from previous T7 models, enables the T7.300 LWB tractor to deliver ultimate performance on any terrain.

AGCO’s Fendt brand introduces the 200 Vario series

AGCO Corporation is introducing the Fendt 200 Vario Series tractors to North America. As the smallest tractors in the Fendt family, the series combines lightweight maneuverability with high performance to deliver a feeling of ease, even during the toughest of work. The Fendt 200 Vario tractors will be available for order through Fendt dealerships for delivery in 2024.

The Fendt 200 Vario tractors are available in three models ranging from 94 to 114 rated horsepower. The Fendt 200 Vario Series can be configured as a standard tractor or in one of three specialty crop variants.

The Fendt 200 Vario tractors are powered by the reliable AGCO Power 3.3 L engine and feature the Fendt Vario CVT, allowing operators to spend more time and effort focusing on the task at hand instead of shifting gears. The contoured frame of the tractors ensures exceptional maneuverability and the low weight-power ratio and extensive tire options help minimize yield-robbing soil compaction during operation.

The Fendt 200 Vario tractors are equipped with the FendtONE operating concept, which combines the familiar operation of the tractors with planning and controlling tasks that must usually take place in the office.
