Fendt Golden Tractor Invited to Great American Agriculture Celebration
As part of the Great American Agriculture Celebration, AGCO's Chairman and CEO Eric Hansotia has joined President Trump, farmers, U.S. Cabinet members and Congressional leaders to honor the industry that feeds the world.
While the tractor's striking finish certainly turns heads, the gold represents more than a celebration — it stands for our Fendt Gold Star Customer Care commitment. This industry-leading support package is a promise to our farmers: a three-year, bumper-to-bumper warranty on new Fendt tractors that keeps them running with total peace of mind. At a time of real cost pressure on farm operations, Gold Star is how Fendt has their backs.
