Like at the Agritechnica, the Fendt 1050 Vario was the machine that received the most attention,” says Jørgen Skjelin, Fendt Brand Business Manager Norway, describing the visitors’ interest. In addition to a “Sølvaks” (Silver Medal) for the newly developed tractor, the German Meisterwerk also won the People’s Choice award. “Visitors could vote via text message and have chosen the Fendt 1050 Vario,” says Jørgen Skjelin pleased.
Fendt received two other “Gullaks” (gold medals) from the members of the innovations committee, one for the new tyre pressure regulation system VarioGrip Pro and the other for the ballasting and traction assistant Fendt Grip Assistant, which is integrated in the Varioterminal.
