Fendt IDEAL. A combine without limits, designed from a clean sheet and built to open up new horizons in productive harvesting. Ready for the current and future demands of professional farmers and contractors. An innovative threshing system that always delivers the most productive crop flow and gentle threshing in any crop and any conditions.
The DLG jury at Agritechnica awarded the Fendt IDEAL a silver medal for the innovative overall design of the Fendt IDEAL combines. A combination of simple, effective solutions such as IDEALbalance™ and the latest digital technologies such as IDEALharvest™ is what sets these combines apart from the competition.
In the visitors' vote for "Machine of the Year 2018" at Agritechnica 2017, the Fendt IDEAL took first place. More than 50,000 votes were cast online, and most of them went to the Fendt IDEAL.
The adjustable cutting angle of the PowerFlow header guarantees perfect crop feeding even in lodged crops. Two hydraulic cylinders at the bottom of the feeder housing let you set the angle between the feeder house and the header without leaving the operator's seat.
The purpose-designed AirSense cooling system consists of a 950 mm reversible fan and a 2.7 m² radiator pack. Depending on temperature and operating time, the fan automatically reverses its direction at intervals and cleans the radiator thoroughly.
The Fendt VisionCab was designed to give the operator an ideal workplace and the best view of the header. The 5.75 m² cab has a windscreen offering a 180° view and a low noise level of 73 dB.
The Dual Helix threshing unit (IDEAL 8 and 9) delivers the highest output and threshing quality with gentle straw handling and low energy consumption.
The 600 mm RotorFeeder drum provides the optimum feeding method and guarantees a steady crop flow. The drum speed is linked to the rotor speed and is always 70% of it. This feed design needs much less energy to do its job.
Fendt IDEAL models are equipped with the unique IDEALbalance system to ensure that only clean grain reaches the grain tank. At the heart of this system is a double return pan. The front section collects the material threshed by the rotor rasp bars at the front. The rear section collects the material thrown out by the rotor fingers and directs it to the rear of the grain pan. This makes full use of the grain pan area and cleans the grain thoroughly of crop material.
The Cyclone cleaning system consists of three fan units with open sides for maximum airflow. The powerful airflow separates the crop right at the first drop into the cleaning system. This creates a constant airflow over the entire sieve area for the best cleaning results.
Fendt IDEAL combines can be fitted with one of two grain tank options: the Streamer 210 with a capacity of 17,100 l and an unloading rate of 210 l/s, or the Streamer 140 with a capacity of 12,500 l and an unloading rate of 140 l/s.
Hydraulic adjustment of the unloading rate from the cab is standard on all Fendt IDEAL combines. Even with a full grain tank, one of five cover positions can be selected (0%, 25%, 70%, 75%, 100% open).
As an option, Fendt IDEAL combines can be fitted with the latest TrakRide track system. Three track widths are available: 660 mm, 760 mm and 910 mm.
The narrow transport dimensions of the Fendt IDEAL are made possible by a wide choice of tyres: even with 800/70R38 tyres, the outer width stays within 3.3 m.
The IDEAL automatically switches to four-wheel drive when a set load on the front axle is reached. This means the IDEAL AllDrive axle only engages when 4WD is needed for the best traction, so the combines save fuel and extend the service life of the drive axle.
The Rotor Feeder drum picks up the crop and feeds it from below into the rotors for optimum threshing. The system sets its speed proportionally: the feeder always runs at 70% of rotor speed;
Dual Helix rotors (IDEAL 8 and 9) are the longest rotors on the market;
IDEALbalance™ double return pan: full use of the grain pan area and thorough cleaning of the threshed crop;
Powerful Cyclone cleaning fan with three open-sided fan units for maximum grain cleaning;
Streamer 210: the largest grain tank on the market, 17,100 l, and the fastest unloading, 210 l/s, with hydraulic adjustment of the unloading rate.
Chaff spreader with three operating modes: 1) chopping and mixing; 2) discharge and mixing with straw; 3) separating chaff from straw;
The highest chopping quality with the 8-row ShortCut chopper with 112 knives;
