Specially designed returns for maximum performance and the best threshing. The product is threshed out by the auger and passed on to the grain pan. This prevents any separating potential being lost at the processor. Threshing occurs between the auger and the interchangeable covers, which can be serrated or smooth depending on the intensity you want.

The long preparation floors with six individual sections and high partitions, provide for exceptional cleaning in the Fendt IDEAL. Most short straw and chaff is separated from the grain on the first drop between the preparation floor and intermediate floor. The second drop to the top sieve then separates the impurities further. A strong air flow ensures perfect cleaning results. The longest sieves on the market with the fitted partitions mean optimal grain purity. In order to deliver the best results under all conditions, the opening range of the sieves can be conveniently and easily electrically adjusted from the cab.

IDEALbalance^TM can minimize the loss on a lateral slope up to 60%, and all without any complex controls.

Thanks to IDEALbalance^TM, the crop is evenly distributed on the sieves

To ensure that nothing but clean crop lands in the grain tank, Fendt IDEAL models are equipped with the unique and ingeniously simple IDEALbalance™ system. The core of the system is the double grain pan. The front grain pan collects the material threshed out by the rasp bars in the front part and forwards it to the front part of the preparation floor. The rear grain pan collects the material separated by the rotor tines and sends it backwards to the preparation floor. The makes full use of the preparation floor and the crop is well cleaned.

The front grain pan is concave to gather the material in the middle of the pan. The rear grain pan is convex, so that the crop collects at the outer ends. This distributes the crop in the machine properly in all conditions. On 15% slopes, this straightforward design avoids up to 60% of loss compared to flat pans. IDEALbalance™ comes as standard on the IDEAL 8 and 9. The IDEAL 7 comes with a special grain pan option, just right for the single rotor.

Chop and mix straw

Separate chaff from straw

The BaseCut straw chopper operates as standard in the Fendt IDEAL with 56 knives.

For exceptional straw chopping and distribution, the eight-row straw chopper with 112 knives provides you with ShortCut in the Fendt IDEAL models.

Even the straw chopper was adapted without compromising the enormous output of the Fendt IDEAL. Every model comes with one of 2 straw chopper versions: The BaseCut with 56 knives across 4 rows, or the ShortCut with 112 knives across 8 rows. Both choppers have maintenance-free bearings. The stationary knives can be set to 5 positions without tools. If you want the straw to drop, just use the Fendt IDEAL's 'chop to drop' function and switch to swath shot mode.

The chopper can be swung out using two electric motors for very easy access. The chopper knives, produced by Rekord, can be used from both sides to double the service life. The chopper speed can be easily switched by a belt from 850 rpm (corn) to 3600 rpm (small grains).
