The new Fendt 828 Vario (280 hp) has won the “Tractor of the Year 2011” award
The “Tractor of the Year” award is being presented for the 14th time. The jury was made up of 20 independent journalists from agricultural trade magazines across 20 European countries. As a completely new compact high-power tractor with many innovative solutions, the Fendt 828 Vario is the world’s first series-production tractor to use fuel-efficient SCR technology in compliance with Stage 3B emissions standards, starting 01 January 2011. With a top speed of 60 km/h and the new X5 cab, it’s the fastest and also the most comfortable tractor in its class. It’s also fitted with a new control concept, a large display, the innovative Vario-Guide automatic steering system, and data processing with Vario-Doc.
“We’re very proud that the new Fendt 828 Vario was chosen ‘Tractor of the Year 2011’. This is major international recognition for Fendt tractors!” said Gary Collar, AGCO Corporation vice president and general manager EAME/ANZ.
