The IDEAL combine is compatible with all types of headers - Auger flex, ridged, Drap
The Fendt IDEAL models 7 and 8 have three feed chains in the crop elevator. Fitted with 4 feed chains, the output is even higher with the IDEAL 9 and 10. The front feeding drum is closed on all models. This pays dividends when corn threshing due to the gentle grain handling. The chain tension and height can be adjusted remarkably easily: by turning a shaft, you can switch the height between 50 and 98 mm. The correct tension can be set by the spring pre-load.
All components of the rotors such as the rasp bars and rotor tines are arranged in four rows like a helix. The front part of the rotors consists of 4 rasp bars installed lengthways which loosen the grains from the ears. The baskets below that are available in different designs for the best results in any application. They can be replaced quickly and easily from the side, depending on the application. The gaps between baskets are hydraulically adjusted up to a maximum of 35 mm. The rotor tines are tilted 20° to the rear, which divides the crop into the helix sections and reliably and gently runs it around the rotor. This prevents unexpected load peaks on the rotor and there are no edges for the product to stick to.
The RotorFeeder feeding drum with 600 mm passes the crop from below to the rotors, guaranteeing the best threshing results. The RotorFeeder speed is automatically controlled in proportion to the rotor speed – always at 70% of the rotor speed. Because the speed is adjusted to best match the rotor speed and the large transfer area, the straw is kept intact. The RotorFeeder also uses far less power during this process. A constant flow of crop is guaranteed by the optimal transfer.
The height of each rotor tine is 140 mm. Perfectly separated grain without damaging the product too much in too confined a space. In turn you get high straw quality and best threshing at low power. The threshing system is also distinguished by its simple configuration. The operator only needs to change the rotor speed range and the concave clearance.
To ensure that nothing but clean crop lands in the grain tank, Fendt IDEAL models are equipped with the unique and ingeniously simple IDEALbalance™ system. The core of the system is the double grain pan. The front grain pan collects the material threshed out by the rasp bars in the front part and forwards it to the front part of the preparation floor. The rear grain pan collects the material discarded from the rotor tines and sends it backwards to the preparation floor. The makes full use of the preparation floor and the product is well cleaned.

The front grain pan is concave to gather the material in the middle of the pan. With a Dual Rotor, the rear grain pan is convex, so the crop collects at the outer ends. This distributes the crop in the machine properly in all conditions. On 15% gradients, this straightforward design avoids up to 60% losses compared to flat pans. IDEALBalance™ is built into all Fendt IDEAL models as standard. The IDEAL 7 comes with a special grain pan option, just right for the single rotor.
On single-rotor models (IDEAL 7) the material is collected in the middle by the long grain pan, before being evenly distributed in the front part of the preparation floor.
The 6 centre bars (IDEAL 7, 8) measure 150 mm in height for a slope insensitivity of up to 15°. Loss sensors at the end of the shaker shoe help the driver adjust the machine to the best possible configuration.
The IDEAL 9, 10 features curved drop steps. Thanks to the curved shape, the heavy grains gather in the lower part of the step, while the laws of physics mean the lighter parts of the crop flow are in the top section. The curved steps provide a wider air outlet, which can significantly increase the air volumes. The 4 curved-step sections of the IDEAL 10 can be easily removed for cleaning.
Separate post-threshing:
Specially designed returns for maximum performance and the best threshing. The product is threshed out by the auger and passed on to the grain pan. This prevents any separating potential being lost at the processor. Threshing occurs between the auger and the interchangeable covers, which can be serrated or smooth depending on the intensity you want.
Superior cleaning:
The long preparation floors, high partitions and the long shaker shoes provide for exceptional cleaning in the Fendt IDEAL. Most short straw and chaff is separated from the grain on the first drop between preparation floor and intermediate floor. The second drop to the top sieve then separates the impurities further. A strong air flow ensures perfect cleaning results. The longest sieves on the market with the fitted partitions mean optimal grain purity. In order to deliver the best results under all conditions, the opening range of the sieves can be conveniently and easily electrically adjusted from the cab.
The chaff spreader is placed directly at the end of the shaker shoe and distributes straw and chaff as desired. The distribution disks are hydraulically driven, allowing variable speeds. Choose between 3 straw distribution settings: chop and mix (chaff into chopper), drop straw and mix (chaff into swath) and separate chaff from straw (chaff distributed sideways). At the end of the straw chopper comes either the ActiveSpread distributor or passive straw deflectors. ActiveSpread works with two hydraulic straw distributors, the speed of which you can adjust from the cab. With the passive straw distributor you have the choice of adjusting the deflector plates wither electrically or manually. The left and right sides can always be set independently.
Fendt IDEAL combines come with a choice of 2 grain tank versions. The Streamer 210 with a 17,100 l capacity and a 210 l/s unload rate, or the Streamer 140 with 12,500 l and 140 l/s. The enormous volume and increased unloading rate do justice to the enormous output of the Fendt IDEAL. The key to the enormous speed is the huge diameter of the unloading auger. The large diameter of 480 mm with a few auger flights allows for simultaneous low speeds. Gently and with low power requirements, the grain tank is fully unloaded within 81 seconds.
Cover flaps above the augers in the grain tank floor control the discharge speed in five positions.
The large diameter of the discharge auger combines low speeds with high output. This ensures grain quality!
Fewer and shorter stops for unloading are soon reflected in a greater daily yield – sensors for yield and moisture and a grain quality camera are fitted to the elevator. The data is accurate to 98%, and applied with the VarioDoc ISOBUS standard, live yield mapping and IDEALharvest™.
To give you the best overall package, the 4 different Fendt IDEAL models also work with 4 different engines, which are perfectly adapted to the potential output of the IDEAL 7, 8, 9 and 10. The maximum fuel efficiency can only be achieved with an engine that is perfectly suited to the potential output. The IDEAL 7 has an AGCO Power engine, while the IDEAL 8, 9 and 10 feature 3 different MAN engines. All engines comply with Emissions Stage V regulations, and are noted for their long service intervals.
Cooling is a crucial part of ensuring the engines always run efficiently and reliably. AirSense® Cooling was developed for the Fendt IDEAL. The idea is to provide maximum cooling capacity with minimal cleaning effort. AirSense® Cooling consists of a 950 mm reversible fan and a cooling area of 2.7 m². The air is extracted centrally through a radiator grille on the top side of the Fendt IDEAL. Depending on the temperature and time, the fan automatically changes its direction of rotation and reliably fans the cooler.
The slimline chassis of the Fendt IDEAL combine also allows for large contact surfaces in your wheel selection, with an outside width measuring less than 3.3 m with 800/70R38 wheels. Even Fendt IDEAL combines with ParaLevel slope compensation, which makes adjustments for inclines of up to 14%, can have 800/70R38 wheels on the front axle. This will keep your transport width under 3.5 m.
The IDEAL automatically switches to 4WD mode independently and intelligently only when the adjusted pressure of the front axle is reached. This means that the AllDrive axis supports the IDEAL only where necessary to deliver full traction, With the differential lock on, the AWD is permanently on. When you steer the differential lock turns off, and after the manoeuvre comes back on again. With this, the IDEAL saves on fuel and protects the axle.
The Fendt IDEAL gearbox offers two gears with a speed range of 0-15 km/h or 0-40 km/h. Fendt MotionShift allows you to shift both gear conveniently during the ride using a button on the armrest. The speed can be easily controlled via the multi-function joystick. In CVT mode, the speed starts at 0 km/h. The IDEAL's acceleration is linked to the joystick position. Enable the unique Hookup mode on the armrest and the Fendt IDEAL reacts proportionally to joystick movements. This makes light work of coupling attachments.
The Fendt VisionCab was designed to offer you the perfect workplace with the best view over the attachment. It does this with a window area of 5.75 m² and a 180° panoramic view. The low noise level of just 73 db creates a pleasant working atmosphere. The generous driver's cab means even long-legged drivers can enjoy a comfortable seat.
At the heart of the Fendt IDEAL's simple and intuitive operation is the armrest. It features a handy joystick and the membrane/toggle button for machine functions. There is also a small digital display for the key machine settings. The Varioterminal 10.4" also allows you to easily adjust the machine by tapping or by pressing a button. For the advanced machine functions of the IDEALharvest™, click your iPad into the stable and practical holder and run the application.
For a better view of the table, the Fendt IDEAL offers a revolutionary concept – IDEALdrive. With IDEALdrive, there is no need for a steering column. Instead of using a steering wheel, you control the combine harvester with a joystick on the left armrest. The left hand steers while the right hand controls the speed. It means you have a great view to the front. The joystick's control and intuitive response are proportional to the driving speed.
With IDEALharvest, the Fendt IDEAL sets new benchmarks in the field of automated machine settings – IDEALharvest is a revolutionary system that will automate your Fendt heavy-duty combine. Acoustic MAD sensors provide the data required for the Fendt IDEAL to automatically adjust to your pre-selected harvest strategy and achieve the best threshing results.
Easy documentation:
With the Fendt VarioDoc and VarioDoc Pro, the work done can be documented with just a few clicks in the Varioterminal, and transferred to your field database. VarioDoc comes with every Fendt IDEAL. The option of VarioDoc Pro offers an extended range of functions, including wireless data transfer.
Ideal time yield mapping:
Thanks to the real time yield mapping of the Fendt IDEAL, the current yield at every position in the field is displayed on the terminal as you work. You can also display the moisture content for that location. The system only works via GPS and the moisture and yield gauges fitted to the elevator.
The Fendt VarioGuide automatic guidance system gives you a choice of different receivers from NovAtel® or Trimble®. Both offer a wide variety of correction signals with accuracies of up to +/- 2 cm. With the NovAtel receiver, the correction signals SBAS, TerraStar-L & C and RTK keep you on track. Choose a Trimble® receiver to use SBAS, RangePoint™ RTX™, CenterPoint RTX™ and RTK. If you lose your RTK signal due to the terrain, VarioGuide continues to work reliably up to 20 minutes thanks to the Trimble®-xFill™ or NovAtel® RTK Assist solution.
Different correction signals, which allow you to carry on working for a time even if you lose the signal, are available for both NovAtel and Trimble systems.
