Roaming the plains
SS educate me then. Tell me what they have done with it. Fendt was the first in the world with CVT "vario", axle and cab suspension, and the variotronic style controls and screen. They waited until after Deere launched IVT "imitation vario transmission" to put it into the AGCO and originally didn't put it into the MF until the dealers raised hell.

AGCO should have sucked it up and put the investment dollars into a newly styled tractor with a modern cab and controls. Instead they mated the Fendt transaxle to the existing engine and cab with an inferior axle suspension compared to the Fendt design. A half assed approach if you ask me.

They are living on Gleaner parts sales, Hesston, and then what ever else they can peddle. They thought that the Cat dealers would be their savior and that hasn't panned out very well.
