“Fitting our longstanding partnership with GIANTS we were very happy to host FarmCon 24 here at the Fendt Forum. Farmers in both the virtual and the real world want to manage their farms successfully and Farming Simulator gives everyone a chance to experience and learn about farming”, said Roland Schmidt, Vice President Fendt Marketing. “We are overwhelmed by the sheer number of visitors, and it was great to see, how many families came to experience FarmCon and Fendt. This shows that both farming and gaming connects generations.”

Tractor Driving, Factory Tours, Free Fendt Pack & More

Over 800 Visitors took their chance to get behind the wheel of iconic Fendt tractors like the Fendt 942 Vario to experience over 400 units of horsepower and take part in special factory tours. Fendt also provided activities for the whole family including a tractor shaped bouncy castle, a pedal tractor course for kids and an exclusive Fendt Lounge including the Fendt IDEAL simulator and the Fendt ErgoSteer Joystick simulator. Together with the Fendt Classic Club International an exhibition of the iconic Fendt Dieselross and other historic tractors added a touch of history.
