Based on the results of the PS-Bundesliga, always published at the start of the year, Fendt achieved the best results across every performance class. Ratings of the most popular tractors show that German farmers particularly value Fendt tractors.

Fendt tractors took first place across every market segment with power above 51 hp in 2020. In addition, AGCO/Fendt managed to grow its count of newly registered tractors in practically every power class.
The new Fendt 200 Vario and Fendt 200 Vario V/F/P-series tractors are drawing farmers’ interest: in the 52 hp to 100 hp segment, the number of newly registered tractors rose by 291 units.
In the large-tractor segment above 401 hp, Fendt also managed to significantly grow its unit count compared with the previous year. While 94 new machines were registered in 2019, Fendt had 236 new registrations in 2020.
This model line-up includes no fewer than 4 series — the wheeled Fendt 900 Vario and Fendt 1000 Vario, plus two tracked tractors in the Fendt 900 Vario MT and Fendt 1100 Vario MT series. The Fendt 1100 Vario MT series was only introduced in the second half of 2020.

The Fendt 700 and Fendt 300 Vario series are especially popular among German farmers. For the third year running, the Fendt 724 Vario ranks first as the “national leader.” In 2020, 1,095 Fendt 724 Vario units were registered.
The Fendt 313 Vario follows right behind it. It took second place overall with 721 new registrations. Third place among the most popular Fendt tractors went to the Fendt 718 Vario, with 623 new registrations.

“Last year, many German farmers and contractors, when buying a new machine, chose a Fendt tractor — regardless of how much horsepower they needed. That speaks to how much our partners trust Fendt machines, and to the fantastic job our sales partners did. Because there were no exhibitions, field days, or on-site presentations, customers couldn’t work with the new machinery in the usual way. Accordingly, we had to respond even more strongly to customer needs and offer advice. For that, I’d like to thank our Fendt sales department and our dealers,” said Christoph Gröblinghoff, Chairman of the AGCO/Fendt Board.
