A Massey is not a Fendt, but the transmission is, amongst some other components.
Fendt developed the continuously variable transmission (CVT), calling it Vario. It is also used in JCB Fastrac, and the other AGCO tractor brands Challenger, Massey Ferguson, andValtra. AGCO also uses the transmission technology in its TerraGator brand of application equipment.
I went on a plant tour at Jackson Minnesota a couple of weeks ago. In the showroom they had various displays detailing the development of tracks from Holt, 3 points from Ferguson etc. There was an extensive exhibit detailing the evolution of the CVT which agrees with the above statements.
Is Fendt really the end-all/be-all?
