Fend’s new Rogator 645 Gen 2 self-propelled sprayer will make its UK debut at Cereals, with one model demonstrating in the spraying arena and a second on the Fendt stand. Cereals visitors will be able to see the new Fendt 800 series tractor.
The self-propelled sprayer features improved electronic, pneumatic nozzle bodies, Banjo plumbing connections and valves, and the ContiRinse system to improve accuracy and reduce downtime.
The updates are available on the latest 645, 655 and 665 Rogator, with the top model boasting a 6000-litre tank capacity and a 307 hp engine to operate a 24 or 36 metre working width.
All models in the range come with the option to automatically select nozzle combinations relative to forward speed, which enables optimum nozzle pressure. This, in turn, reduces drift, which is also maintained as forward speed changes.
“There have been feature updates on the boom height control, which means that spray height is optimised at 50 centimetres through the Rogator’s OptiSonic ultrasonic boom,” says Fendt’s Ed Dennett.
Also on show will be the latest 826. The fifth generation 800 Vario includes three models: the 826, 829 and 832 with Power+, Profi and Profi+ specifications available. The range features Fendt’s DynamicPerformance (DP) added power concept, which offers a boost of 23 horsepower (17 kW).
Fendt’s latest VarioDrive has been paired with the 8.0 litre, 6-cylinder CORE80 engine to maximise power and reduce fuel consumption. The CORE80 engine is approved for HVO100 and other fuels according to DIN 15940, which can significantly reduce the machine’s CO2 footprint.
Fendt’s iD concept saves fuel during high torque, low speed work and also on the road, meaning at 40 km/h the engine works at 950 rpm, 50 km/h at 1,200 rpm, and the top speed of 60 km/h at 1,450 rpm.
“The 800 Vario range appeals to both arable and mixed farms and is likely to prove popular with contractors looking to optimise power-to-weight ratios and improve fuel efficiency.
“All Fendt tractors and the Rogator range operate FendtONE, which has also seen recent updates and is now free to download for all Fendt customers,” says Mr Dennett.
The FendtONE operating concept enables tractors to share operational data with other machines like the Rogator, to reduce set up time and set field boundaries. Operational data can subsequently be captured using the FendtONE offboard system to report on the efficiency of tasks and save this data to improve future applications.
