Fendt Unveils Three New Agricultural Machines at 2026 Farm Progress Show
At the 2026 Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, Fendt™ unveiled three groundbreaking agricultural machines: the 1100 Vario™ MT Gen2 Track Tractor, the Momentum™ 80-Foot Planter, and the 300 Vario Gen5. These launches highlight Fendt’s commitment to enhancing productivity and efficiency in farming operations.
AGCO, the parent company of Fendt, emphasized the significance of these new products, which are designed to meet the demands of large-scale farming. "Hosting our first global tractor launch in the U.S. reflects the investments AGCO and Fendt are making in this region," said Stefan Caspari, Senior Vice President, Customer Success & North American Ag, AGCO. "North American farmers demand equipment that delivers power, productivity, efficiency, and total cost of ownership, and the 1100 Vario MT is perfectly positioned to meet these needs."
The 1100 Vario MT Gen2 Track Tractor is a powerful addition to Fendt’s lineup, featuring a reinforced transmission that accommodates its increased horsepower. This model combines the benefits of VarioDrive™ transmission with the Fendt iD™ low-speed concept, offering higher power reserves, efficient power transfer, and reduced fuel consumption. The SmartRide™ suspension technology enhances operator comfort on uneven terrain, while the steerable drawbar or three-point hitch actively adjusts based on steering input, boosting tractive power and maneuverability.
The new FendtONE™ operating system in the 1100 Vario MT Gen2 Track Tractor provides intuitive controls and advanced technology integration, along with a new lighting concept for better field visibility. A passive cab air filter cleaning system ensures continuous removal of dust, reducing maintenance needs. Every unit comes with three years or 3,000 hours of warranty, scheduled maintenance, loaner availability, and parts guarantee, backed by Fendt’s extensive Gold Star Customer Care.
Fendt also launched the Momentum 80-Foot Planter, the largest planter in its Momentum lineup. This 32-row planter, designed for 30-inch spacing, offers 130-bushel high-capacity seed and 1,000-gallon fertilizer tanks, making it highly efficient for large-scale operations. The planter incorporates Fendt’s SmartFrame™ technology, factory-integrated Precision Planting™ systems, and optional Load Logic™ weight management. A new five-section Vertically Contouring Toolbar improves planting accuracy, protecting yield potential and maximizing return on every seed. Gold Star Customer Care covers three years or 16,000 acres, whichever occurs first.
The 300 Vario Gen5, a compact class planter, brings premium precision technology with five new models, including the 310 Vario, which delivers 113 to 152 horsepower with DynamicPerformance™ (DP). This feature automatically supplies an additional 10 horsepower for auxiliary needs such as air conditioning. All models come with Gold Star Customer Care, FendtONE operating system, and optional smart farming capabilities like guidance, ISOBUS, telemetry, and automated headland management. Enhanced with the latest generation of Cargo and Cargo Profi front loaders and a new hydraulic system, the 300 Vario Gen5 also includes GroundVision lighting for night work, a redesigned hood with daytime running lights, and a swivel seat.
These new products are expected to be available for order starting in fall 2026, with deliveries in spring 2027. Fendt will also showcase its 500 Vario Gen4 and 800 Vario Gen5 models at the Farm Progress Show for the first time.
Fendt’s robust lineup of new products underscores its ongoing commitment to innovation and support for farmers, aiming to enhance productivity and efficiency across the entire farming operation.
