2023 Fendt Ideal Combine 9

Fendt IDEAL. A combine harvester that works wonders in the shortest harvest windows with uncompromising quality and unconditional reliability. A smart solution that lets you experience your harvest like never before, with the latest sensors and smart networking.

The Fendt IDEAL was developed in the global AGCO Centres of Excellence for harvesting technology. Countless farmers and contractors from around the world were asked what combine requirements would make their IDEAL harvest. It's the culmination of this customer input, the combined experience of our developers and the chance to test the Fendt IDEAL all year round in different regions under the harshest operating conditions, that make the Fendt IDEAL the most modern and innovative combine on the market.

It's time for new dimensions.

Exceptional conditions require exceptional performance – both from us and our machines. A clear view of the cutter unit and in-feed with easy ergonomic steering. IDEALdrive brings ergonomics and efficiency to your working day.

Strong right from the start - to get the best results, everything has to be right from the start. That's why all Fendt IDEAL combines work with the latest generation of the world's most esteemed PowerFlow headers.

Our PowerFlow cutter units stand out for their robust, solid and durable design. The PowerFlow belts actively drive the crop, including ears, into the machine. This means the material flows evenly, and the threshing system's potential is fully exploited and protected from stones. The large intake auger delivers impressive production capacities. The reel is hydraulically driven. You can have the system adjust the reel speed automatically, which means less effort for the driver. The PowerFlow cutting unit offers enormous flexibility, switching easily between rapeseed and grain. Bothsided vertical knives ensure clean crop edges. For quick and easy transport, the stalk dividers just fold away. There are various Fendt PowerFlow tables to choose from for the different IDEAL models, the widest version spanning 12.22 m or 40 ft.

With TerraControl™ table guidance you have perfect control over the widest attachments. TerraControl™ guides the attachment fully automatically at a perfect distance from and perfect inclination to the ground, working together with various functions you can use for the best results. This includes work height adjustment, resetting, ground pressure, various pre-selectable cutting heights, lifting when reversing, reel speed, positioning and headland management – everything fully automatically.

Short setup times mean more time for harvesting. Fendt Autodock™ automatically couples the attachment within 5 seconds, setting standards in terms of ease of use. You don't even have to leave the driver's seat. Once the attachment is added, 4 hydraulic cylinders complete the connection. A hydraulic cylinder in the middle of the crop elevator frame mechanically locks the attachment. At the same time, two couplings push out to connect the PTO drives. Autodock™ connects the multi-coupler separately to the attachment and the machine. An RFID code, the 'Ag tag' detects the attachment and retrieves the last settings used for that unit.
