Pre-owned tractors, combines and forage harvesters from Fendt, which carry the seal of quality, have undergone intensive inspection, which ensures that it is a high-value, top-quality pre-owned machine. The inspection includes, for example, a catalogue of more than 200 points that are checked on a tractor, also including such topics like the history of the machine. Tractors that were used in industrial, road construction or environmental applications, or do not have a full service history, are rejected from the start. Approved for Fendt StarCertified are tractors with a maximum of 4,000 operating hours, which are at the most six years old. Combines and forage harvesters must not have more than 2,000 operating hours and not be more than four years old.
After the technical and visual inspection, the machines are reconditioned, if necessary. Defects in the paint work are repaired and damaged parts are replaced. Besides a technically and visually faultless state, wearing parts also play an important role for certified Fendt harvesting machines. To ensure the operational capability of the self-propelled harvesting machines, they are also checked and important wearing parts for crop flow are replaced as a rule. Only operational machines are made available to customers.
