Fendt™ Launches 1100 Vario™ MT Gen2 Track Tractor, Momentum™ 80-Foot Planter and 300 Vario Gen5 at 2026 Farm Progress Show

Three groundbreaking products, including Fendt's first global tractor launch in the U.S., underscore the brand's commitment to the North American market.

BOONE, Iowa, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), today announced the global launches of the Fendt™ 1100 Vario™ MT Gen2 Track Tractor and the Fendt Momentum™ 80-Foot Planter, as well as the North American debut of the Fendt 300 Vario™ Gen5 at the 2026 Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa. Staging its global tractor and planter launches in North America marks a deliberate signal of the company's growth agenda for the region. Together, the three products continue Fendt's expansion of a full-line portfolio and advance a common goal of improving productivity across the entire farming operation, from planting to harvest.

"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 measure equipment on power, productivity, efficiency and total cost of ownership, which is why Farm Progress Show is the right stage to debut the new Fendt 1100 Vario MT. And Gold Star Customer Care is our commitment in writing, protecting uptime and the Fendt ownership experience."

Fendt 1100 Vario MT Gen2 Track Tractor
The Fendt 1100 Vario MT Gen2 Track Tractor anchors Fendt's expanding North American lineup, delivering tremendous power, productivity and versatility in high-horsepower applications. A reinforced transmission accommodates the horsepower boost, making this top-of-the-range model Fendt's most powerful tractor equipped with a VarioDrive™ transmission. VarioDrive and the Fendt iD™ low-speed concept combine high power reserves and efficient power transfer with lower fuel consumption, saving farmers money. SmartRide™ suspension technology improves comfort across uneven terrain while the steerable drawbar or three-point now actively moves based on steering input, increasing tractive power and maneuverability.

A new cab with the FendtONE™ operating system adds intuitive controls, advanced technology integration and a new lighting concept for greater field visibility. A new passive cab air filter cleaning system continuously removes dust, reducing maintenance demands in harsh environments. Fendt's extensive Gold Star Customer Care backs every unit with three years or 3,000 hours of warranty, scheduled maintenance, loaner availability and parts guarantee.

Fendt Momentum 80-Foot Planter 
Fendt has further expanded its award-winning Momentum planter lineup with a global launch of the new Momentum 80-Foot, 32-Row Planter with 30-inch spacing (32R30). The largest Momentum planter ever offered, the 32R30 is designed for large-scale farming operations seeking greater productivity and efficiency.

The 32R30 covers more acres per day and reduces tendering frequency with standard 130-bushel high-capacity seed and 1,000-gallon fertilizer tanks. It combines Fendt's SmartFrame™ technology, factory-integrated Precision Planting™ systems and optional Load Logic™ weight management with a new five-section Vertically Contouring Toolbar to improve planting accuracy across rolling and uneven terrain, protecting yield potential and return on every seed. Gold Star Customer Care covers three years or 16,000 acres, whichever occurs first.

"Large-scale growers need to cover more acres in tighter windows without sacrificing the precision that drives yield potential," said Jason Lee, Senior Marketing Manager, Planters, Fendt North America. "The Fendt Momentum 32R30 maximizes agronomic performance and efficiency to achieve better yields, making every seed count."

Fendt 300 Vario Gen5
The new Fendt 300 Vario Gen5 line brings premium precision technology to the compact class, adding five models, including the new 310 Vario, which delivers 113–152 horsepower with DynamicPerformance™ (DP). Now available across the entire series, DP automatically supplies an additional 10 horsepower for auxiliary needs such as air conditioning. All models include Gold Star Customer Care, the FendtONE operating system and optional smart farming capabilities such as guidance, ISOBUS, telemetry and automated headland management.

The new updates include the latest generation of the Cargo and Cargo Profi front loaders, supported by a new hydraulic system with independent valves. Other benefits include GroundVision lighting for night work, a redesigned hood with daytime running lights and a new swivel seat.

"The Fendt 300 series has a long history of key innovations like our VarioDrive CVT, suspension systems and unmatched fuel efficiency," said Daniel Smith, Senior Strategic Marketing Manager, Fendt North America. "The Gen5 packs all of that into a compact size with an intuitive, high-tech driver's station that puts farmers first."
