Fendt Momentum Model 32 Planter - Featuring VF Tires to Carry the Load - Introduced in 2020

The new Fendt Momentum planter has been available for ordering since mid-2020. Initially, there are eight models including 16-, 24-, 32-, 36- and 48-row configurations, with row spacings of 15, 20, 22 and 30 inches. All will come standard with the 1,000-gallon liquid fertilizer tank. The central fill system includes two 65-bushel hoppers using a smooth design for easy cleanout. With both hoppers full, you can plant about 297 acres of corn at 35,000 population. ________________________ Wheels on the planter are outfitted with VF tires standard to carry the load. An optional flotation system will use load cells and speed sensors to assure that the tire pressure is always right for the job at hand, whether over the road or in the field. That system also uses hydraulic cylinders on the frame for optimum weight distribution. ____________ As for that planter, “ride” is the key feature of the Momentum, with its ability to move with the contour of the land. Each row unit has 16 inches of travel. And the row units are sectioned across the length of the planter. For the 32-row machine on 15-inch centers, there are three sections linked to the forward-positioned carriage. _________________ Type GmbH Industry Tractor, Agriculture Founded 1930; 91 years ago Founder Johann Georg Fendt Headquarters Marktoberdorf, Germany Area served worldwide Key people Peter-Josef Paffen Revenue € 2.14 billion (2015) Number of employees 6331 Parent AGCO ___________________________ Question please contact J.
