1930: A vision of Johann Georg Fendt

Johann Georg Fendt and his son Hermann Fendt put their heads together and develop the first 6 hp diesel small tractor with mower and mounted plow. Tractor production begins at Fendt. Inspired by the transition from horse to machine that isn't fed oats, but diesel, the creative name “Dieselross” ("Diesel horse")was born.

1950: From the diesel horse to the first series of tractors

Originally started in Bavaria, Fendt rapidly gains fame in the entire German-speaking region as a renowned brand that is prized for its diesel horse and tool carriers. In 1958, the company proudly presents the ff-series with its “Fendt Favorit” showcase model that impresses with an especially sleek bonnet. The iconic slogan “Leaders drive Fendt” was first coined during this period.

In 1995, the ground-breaking world premier of the new Fendt heavy-duty tractors was celebrated, and above all the market introduction of the innovative Vario drive.
