Fendt 900 Vario Marks 50,000 Units With Anniversary Edition
Fendt's 900 Vario was unveiled at Agritechnica 1995 and has since gone on to become a popular choice for farmers and contractors worldwide.
In an already crowded market, Polish machinery manufacturer Samasz is set to unveil a prototype of its Z4-1550 four-rotor rake at Agritechnica.
Said to offer an adjustable working width of 10.5 to 15m, it has a configuration of four 3.8m diameter rotors, each equipped with 15 tine arms.
Standard equipment includes active hydro-pneumatic suspension, a six-wheel ground-following chassis with adjustable wheel geometry of 180 or 360 degrees, adjustable cam track, and optional tyres in 600, 710 and 800 sections.
ISOBUS control is standard, alongside automatic swath overlap adjustment, an 80-degree pivot hitch for easier turns and automatic frame levelling. An overall transport width of only 3m is achieved without the need to remove any tine arms.
The company has confirmed plans to test eight to ten machines in Europe and Australia in the next season, with the first commercial models expected to be available in 2027.
The Polish manufacturer will also show the new 3.0 and 3.5m KDX plain disc mower series, which replace the current KDTC and KT ranges.
