Exceptional Engineering: Harvesting Giants
Not only cows and Kässpatzen come from the Allgäu, but also the biggest and strongest agricultural machines in the world! In Marktoberdorf, Fendt has been building tractors, combine harvesters and harvesters since 1930. Meanwhile, the company with 3000 employees market leader in Germany. In professional circles, the agricultural machines from the Allgäu are considered the noblest and best on the market.
But the road from construction to sale to the farmer is long, after all, the machines have long since become high-tech devices equipped with onboard computers and GPS. The production is therefore very complex and takes place in several steps.
The "1050 Vario" also passes through 29 stations during its production. With a height of 3,60m, a curb weight of 14 tons and 517 hp, it is the strongest standard tractor in the world. At the headquarters in Marktoberdorf, the production of the Acker giant takes place.
In this WORLD report, we show the exciting production, maintenance and use of fields and fields of these mega agricultural machines - a real man's dream!

This is the longest Fendt advertisement xD
qmpel it is just crazy. You just see that. If like other brand didn’t have a competitor.. still good tho.
..... in the world."
He kept mentioning that they make "Caterpillars". I'm pretty sure Caterpillar would disagree.

I couldn't watch more than two minutes before starting up a new game of Farming Simulator.
yesssss!!!!!
@@ShotInTheDark yeah!
Fendts are my Favorite brand in FS19
Playing 19 right now while I listen to this
Why not play farming simulator AND watch these magnificent machines
"This model only costs 400,000 Euros.". For that amount, the farmer deserves a test drive around the Nürburgring, not some dinky oval track.
Lol
When you think about it that's not a bad price for all the machinery your getting.
Nothing compared to it's competition that can get upwards of a million dollars and alot of farmers are sent to see the upgrades from the previous year and already know it's capabilities
Is this Jonathan?
Since my early childhood, I have always loved Germany documentaries' English commentators and translators. They're so enthusiastic, in their intonation, emphasis on detail, which keeps you interested and following all the way. Beautiful, keep that good work. 😀😀😀
I was about to say the same as you when i say your comment, i agree with you so much, it sounds so good.
I only use Fendt tractors in FS19.. Then i came across this video.. and had to watch it.. I dont even work on a real farm.. but love watching these videos.
Very impressive design, engineering and Manufacturing of these Monster Tractors. Each work station is expected to add the assembly parts and do it correctly. It would take a highly trained work staff bar none and Managers who are experts in what they need to know. Educational and enjoyable to watch.
The documentary is good. Please do not try to make simple things dramatic.
@TFo Yes, the fake drama affects the quality of the video.
@@gr8vijay that is 15000 kilograms!
@@legolas5684 Didn't understand the context of your reply.
What is it?
Ultra modern technology: GPS
Worked on a farm for three weeks,a few years ago. They had a big Fendt that i drove. I was fantastic. Great vario gearbox, soft on tar roads, and great in the fields. I understand why they have become so popular.
Good to hear you thought you were fantastic! Lols
The engineering of the manufacturing plant itself would be interesting to watch.
19:18 i love the scene where a driver is driving with his daughter. Great way to bond as well as catching her young.
In the name of Agriculture you are source of inspiration For the love of Agriculture your documentary has inspired me
aha setting up a tractor showcase with tractors does look like fun. unload 1 or 2 and then unload and move mostly everything for the event with the tractors
Longest Fendt commercial ever!!!
Since when is filling an exhibition hall or fitting a PTO "exceptional engineering?" They delivered the piece that interested me the most (engine/transmission/suspension/frame assembly) ready to be fitted with the externals. I'd have preferred seeing it put together, or better yet, manufactured.
Same it was kind of a bummer to not see much of it being put together although the marriage was pretty cool
It definitely has the "How's It's Made" vibes. They used to gloss over pretty important topics like this.
For those saying they dont need to be so dramatic when it comes to backing a tractor off a ramp, loading and unloading is the MOST dangerous part of equipment use
I agree. As someone who used to transport heavy equipment, the most dangerous part is when on the ramps and going over the trailer tires especially when wet. And worst one is the the rubber tracked unit. I money delt with the John deere version but they are basically the same very very nose heavy with out an implement on the back. They basically pivot on the front idler roller. If I wasn't very careful when unloading the front weights would kiss the ground and it would feel like you were going to be thrown out the front window.
Germany always do high quality job. 👍👍👍
Organized and quality work
These men are awesome.
Great farming machinery!👍👌👏💞
they are grat farming machinery and i can believe it's nerve wrecking when it takes so much effort todo everything
Best video on KZhead!! Every man's fantasy 🚜
Form a fourth generation American farmer dating back to the 1880s ……..👍 Nicely done. Thanks for the translation.
Incredible engineering
Very impressive farm machineries i happy to work in farm with complete machineries cant handle more works in farming industries!

Great Documentary, definitely something to learn from tractors.
I also find plowing pleasurable.
So go most men lol
45 min long Fendt commercial. Their marketers need a raise. Or a pink slip.
Everyone of the docs I watch, all these massive pieces of equipment are made in Germany. It’s amazing that so many industrials have companies based in Germany.
American Steel is coning BACK! It's starting to show it metal (tongue in cheek) already!
Big respect to German engineering. My Grandchildren are gonna love this video!
These things look like a nightmare to do maintenance on.
Actually there not to bad
I think you a girl
The ones in America, you can't even do it, they have proprietary softwares to fix.
Great.
19:30 The "see-lage"? 😂😂 is that the new term for silage?
That's city-speak.
Damn, farming is easy today...get easier every year... remember when you had to do it with Belarus and bare hands to earn few euros? Now, it's like a holiday!
But it's lonely, so lonely
@@MrDrumboy17 some people like when it's quiet. And now, after all the work you still have time to go to a pub for a beer! Holidays mate. Try working with people, you will start loving being alone
@@916noballs4 Thats true. I was talking about being out in the middle of a massive field for hours just on your own. Where as fifty or so years ago the machine were a lot smaller, as were the fields and there were many more people working on the farms. Nowadays its just a handful of people and that's where it can be lonely if it's just you and a tractor in a big field most of the day. But you're right, just go to the pub when the day is done. Problem is at the moment they're all closed 😄
them: largest tractor??? me: laughs in big bud
It's the largest fixed frame conventional tractor in production, pay attention...
@@paulpence8895 yes i know. it was something called a....joke
largest standard tractor, listening is hard these days
@@kanarie93 i would also like to point out that in the first min he says "worlds most powerful tractor" latter on in the film he says the largest fixed frame tractor. it was a joke i did watch the whole thing. let me state again IT WAS A JOKE.
@@angelramirez-sw5jt Dude, everythings cool. It's the internet.
They're a global company because of the ACGO brand.
Chris Haugh no it’s AGCo
i fell asleep and woke up at 3am to this
Attaching duels took a long time at that show. That is the way we did it back in the 1960's. We had to learn to do things for less in the US because our corn is much lower in price!
Just imagine the cost of repairs as these machines age and start to break down in every area of the tractor , a nightmare .
Even when they are new they still cost a lot in the 1050 vario that they mentioned I would bet or costs around 10-15k a year in maintenance
@@pontiaclancer so from what I u derstand if something like that does happen you can still split the tractor in have but it takes alot of work, and sometimes farms will just trade of for a newer one if it is going cost 20k to fix a crank seal
@@pontiaclancer no they are maintable, some people would trade it in other not but if you did the dealer would do it and resell it for the same value it was worth before it broke. There is a whole bunch if economics behind expensive repairs
@@pontiaclancer just US dairy farmer we use alot of newer slightly used machines but always here stories of the big guys having 20k repair and just buying a new machine
Yeah those newer models always seem to need new parts more often than the older models do! Including trucks, cars everything!
PERMACULTURE This is the future that the most optimistic amongst us are hoping for. In this scenario humanity is living well, in balance with nature and is on the path to a regenerative world. There is a symbiosis between technology and nature, big cities and nature’s ecosystems. The next step for humanity - ‘to boldly go where no man has gone before.’ Without being jerks about it and destroying and contaminating pristine environments.
Its embarrassing how little the narrator understands what he's talking about
Let me guess, you're one of those farming simulator experts?
@@rock3tcatU233 Having spent most of my life in agriculture, I have to say no, I am definitely not an expert in farming, simulated or not. What's more most of the farmers I know wouldn't claim to be experts. In fact, even considering the most learned folk I know I don't think I know anyone that would claim to be an expert in agriculture. What's your point?
The narrator is just reading a script. Seems like it’s the writer’s fault if it’s technically inaccurate.
Germans take things to the extreme
31:12 - 2 hours for putting one twin tire on? are u kidding me. That part is the most amateur thing i've ever seen. Its take normally 10 mins if you have the right equipment, and they had.
They're just there for the Expo I suppose, probably never had to put one on in the fields/under pressure.
why i'm watching this ? ,,, full video !
Шикарная техника
Nice work man
These machines are impressive. It's interesting to note that they use hex fasteners, not Torx like European cars.
Most tractors do.
Your point?
almost all tractors use HEX, on bigger bolts its better and also cheaper, and on big bolts that realy starts to matter ;)
@@kanarie93 Germans love to over engineer and not always for good reasons. Are these tractors like John Deere, where you need a technician to authorize any kind of hardware replacement.
@Tyler Browning you cannot "violate" an industry standard. They aren't rules lol, just guidelines for making a product universal.
very nice fendt commercial
1:15, ahh its a silage harvester not a shredder, is this not "triggering" anyone else
Forage harvester. The forage only becomes silage after it is harvested and fermented. Totally agree it’s not a shredder. 👍
lmao @ the word "triggered" its a buzzword for the weak minded
“Triggered” is word made and popularized by leftist, feminist and the LGBT community. I don’t use the word and I generally don’t speak to those that use the word. And to answer your question: no it doesn’t. Things out of my control no longer worry me.
@@chloehennessey6813 hmm didnt know that just thought it was a meme word as im 17
Mining Master L870c nice to meet you. I’m Chloe and I’m 15z and I like Caterpillar. Is the Tigercat a rebranded Cat or do they have their own excavators where you are?
@ Case Magnum 620. “Most powerful tractor made by Fendt”
Most powerful standard tractor
Big bud 747 is the biggest. Case and deere make the biggest power shift. Fendt makes the biggest CVT tractor
There's plenty of articulated 4WD models that are more powerful, but the 1050 Fendt is the most powerful rigid frame MFWD style tractor, what we'd often call in North America is "row-crop" tractor
As someone from england I very rarely see tracked tractors and I live in an area surrounded by farmland
Damn you could start a whole farm using only Fendt equipment
You could with every brand
Great video
The worlds most powerful tractor is the CNH Case steiger 620. The fendt is the bigest fixed frame tractor.
Big bud 747
True on production tractors. Mark, the big bud 16v 747 was a one off custom built tractor.
yep your right.. tho what I don't like about it is 620hp with only 473 PTO HP.. why so much loss? Very inefficient for a Tractor.
i own all of these models..... in FS19..... They are awesome
Amazing
Very nice
I used to drive 2 cylinder John Deere's from A to D and M, we also had an International for harvesting corn...I think am out of date here :)
American made heavy equipment takes a long time to go out of date. In the late 70s I drove a Cat D8 made in 1938. Ran like a top.
its only a 12 liter inline 6 so your not that far off
But they didnt sue you if you changed your own oil back then...
Meanwhile in Indonesia We still use man power or sometimes with some Buffalos
@@LuckyBaldwin777 thumbs Dow down to America junk!
42:26 Bill Cowher's German brother?
Beast
I have one in my farm simulator 😂😂
I have five, LOL. Fastest tractors in the game. The problem I have is that they like to destroy the crops with their huge tires.
@@craigbeuker7636 What about the fastrac 440 something, i think that goes 45
Wow nice acricoltrue
dude says silage like its a fancy desert
I almost had to stop watching after he said it like that lmfao
Love how he said Silage 🤣
Energy rich sealodge
We've got multiple production tractors in North America that have over 600 bhp.
Not fixed frame like this
We have these now plus track fendt gets built in USA now think right along with yellow challenger line
So we're burning our food supply for fuel? Wow, nothing can go wrong with that.
Amazing video. Anyone knows the music on the background from the minute 03:05 till 04:05 ?? It's an outstanding soundtrack!
Modi Adams Same here bro.
The 1050 still isn’t big enough to pull Mike Mitchell’s 84 foot drills and cart.
@Travis hello,how are you doing
Eu gosto de ver de fabricar máquinas .
The tractor being referred to as a Caterpillar is not. It is a crawler tractor. Just because a tractor has tracks instead of wheels doesn't make it a Caterpillar.
Pretty sure they were referring to the tracks only in the same way that most vacuum cleaners are referred to as Hoovers. Also, the transmission Fendt uses is a Caterpillar transmission from Caterpillar.
Current Fendt crawlers were challenger previously, which had there origins in the Cat challenger, Ago bought the line from Cat in the early 2000's
@@MarkLynskey thought they looked familiar.
18:47 Watch out for that energy rich “seelaj” though🤦🏼♂️
stuart patterson lol what the fuq is seelaj lol
At first I thought it was one of the germans that mispronounced it. Then I find it is the guy doing the voice over. Also that he said that a diesel engine burns "gas"!
Lokireloaded technically diesel is "gasoil" but still, the script is whack.
We are starting to see more and more Fendts being bought and used for farming here in the midwest USA.
Here in ND, the highway department is going pure Fendt as they upgrade new equipment for their mowers and their general use tractors. Says a lot when we have these companies so close that they’re willing to buy those.
Also awesome to see them in action too.
I've used all the machines shown in this video...in my farming simulator world
14:02 They harvest 11 Hectares!?!@? We used to do that before breakfast. Baby tractors...
it's " si-lige " not " sea-large " lol
its sill-age
I think that was French corn.
Slade Helicopters thats how its pronounced in german
Jason Moyle no it isn’t lol
Thats how we pronounce it in serbia 😅
ok at least ya had the ideal
Not the world's most powerful, even for production tractors. The Big Bud 600 series wins that prize. 600 horsepower from a Cummins KTA-600. Go with the Big Bud 747 if you want some insane power. Holds 3,800 liters of diesel, powered by a Detroit Diesel 16V92T. Originally put out 760 horsepower but was tuned a few times and now puts out 1,100 horsepower. It's a beast.
Worlds most powerful STANDARD tractor.
I could imagine dudes around the farms were picking up chicks: _“Yo, cupcake, wanna ride on my new tractor?”_ 🤣
Dimaz to be fair, the tractor cost more than or as much as any Ferrari, Lamborghini and even rolls-Royce.
@adrien choiniere that's true.. I wouldn't mind picking up girls with Case Quadtrack or Big Bud
You don't need to pick up the chicks, you just feed them and collect the eggs.
@@Zidern you could do that too.. but I'd like to pick up chicks and then breed them
Let the rooster do that. :P
Diesel engines don't have catalytic converters, they have diesel particulate filters.
They do have catalytic converters
Sorry for asking. my country have no large scale agriculture like this. I tought that they will produce the corn but I didn't see any corn there. Just silage. 😅 Did they plant this purely for silage or the corn already pre-harvested by hand before this machine come in?
I think it's planted purely for silage.
it's planted just for silage.
Case quad track?
The largest farm tractors go for more than $500,000.
2:40 "Makes PLOWING a PLASURE"
LOVE
NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEERE!!!
That's not a Caterpillar, it's a tracked tractor. Caterpillar is a brand. Good grief...
Its called a caterpillar track regardless of which brand said track is attached.
@@VonArens not completely right. it's called a crawler track where I'm from
Actually, it is. Or at least was. AGCO bought the Caterpillar Challenger tractor branch and those were sold as Challenger in the USA and as Fendt ... MT in Europe. Only in the last years AGCO started to brand all their top models from the various companies they own as Fendt. These tracked tractors are produced in the USA with technology originating from Caterpillar and Fendt.
these germans plan every thing ...they are very smart
How much torque does it produces
"The car wheels have maximum of 17 millimeters"... My 2002 Citroen saloon has 19 mil and some 4wd suv and off-roaders have even 21...
WHAT we used to kall a WHEEL CROSS back in the day in norway usually had fixed 17-19-21 mm + a square end 1/2 inch to put regular pipes on, which was practical. nowadays most wheel crosses comes with 17-19-21-23
You see catapillars more in England, lol..... I am in England and it very rare to see cat-tracks. The only catapillars I see are the make Catapillers and Tanks. Yes, and I live in a farming area, with more tractors than caravans.
who the hell narrated this? clearly someone with zero farming experience. seelaaage haha. its pronounced Si-laj. and spelt Silage.
And I'm sure at 8:41, is cattle feed not bio mass for fuel. Could be wrong but I know when ive been by pits like that, we just feed fat cows.
@@bikerktmktm21x you are right, they're just standard pits you'd normal produce cattle feed with. you can use silage to produce biogas though
Haha, I was straight up thinking that I had been pronouncing it wrong my whole life.
You’re all good dude. Never look to a Yank on how to pronounce something haha
its a free documentary, what do you expect
Before you all get your panties in a bunch,,, the Fendt 1050 is currently the "largest fixed framed HP/KW tractor in current production"... IT IS NOT THE LARGEST/HEAVIEST/HP/KW " tractor ever produced... "FIXED FRAME TRACTOR" ... only the front wheels turn... No its not a BIG BUD, or QUAD TRACK 620, or 9620RX, or DT610 bla bla bla... Go read the specs, this this is truly a beast, and can be weighted to nearly 60k lbs... The "Fendt" brand is more designed for European specs, they not only use these for field equipment but as we in the US would use a Semi truck, these have air brakes, suspension etc... its as much a road "truck" to them as a "field tractor" to us... That's why the Challenger line in the US is different , same tractor but "different" for US specs... PAY ATTENTION!!!
Worlds biggest tractor? What aboit the john deere 9620 rx or the case ih quadtrac with nearly 700hp
@Alan hello,how are you doing
Why paint the mechanicals black? Much harder to work on and troubleshoot.
Are they genuine Fendt wood blocks on the Jack??? They aren’t green or branded 🤔
@Dan hello,how are you doing
@@yvonnebraun7 doing well thanks.
Dan Stevens i will be glad to know a bit more about you if you don’t mind.
All mechanics love that they have painted every nut and bolts...
fint
Fendt only made tractors until AGCO stepped in. Combines are made in Italy.
They are original from Massey Ferguson right?
@@trekkergek5865 It's at longer story. Massey Ferguson took over the danish Dronningborg. When AGCO took over Massey Ferguson Dronningborg production at Dronningborg ceased and the production moved to Italy where the AGCO owned Laverda has its HQ. The old Dronningborg serves as R&D and production is in Italy. MF, Fendt and Laverda are produced there.
@@xuser48 Wow, didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
