IDEALdrive - Everything at hand

Joystick steering

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. It's easy and safe to control in every situation. IDEALdrive is optional when you order the TrakRide crawler drive configuration. As a customer, you can choose how you want to drive your machine.

IDEALharves

Adding a whole new dimension to automation

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. The driver can quickly and easily select from the 3 key harvesting strategies – minimise breakages, minimise grain loss or optimise grain purity. You can also use the slider to prioritise throughput performance. The Fendt IDEAL's rotor and fan speed, top and bottom sieve openings and forward speed are continually optimised to suit the selected strategy. IDEALharvest also displays the machine's crop flow in realtime, so you can use the data to assess crop distribution in the machine. Based on the realtime values of the installed sensors, the transfer volumes and grain losses are displayed onscreen. The Grain Quality Cam helps optimise the grain quality.

IDEALbalance™ Syste

Grain pan IDEAL

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 model as standard. The IDEAL 7 comes with a special grain pan option, just right for the single rotor.

ActiveSpread SwingFlo

Straw distribution perfected

The ActiveSpread SwingFlow takes straw distribution to a new dimension. The system consists of two spreading discs and three electrically adjustable deflector plates. While the spreading discs rotate, the deflector plates swivel continuously from left to right, optimising straw distribution or ensuring homogeneous distribution, especially with large header widths. Due to the small diameter of the spreading discs, the system has an astonishingly low fuel consumption.

Grain tank and discharg

Grain tank and discharge

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 which garantuee high crop quality. Gently and with low power requirements, the grain tank is fully unloaded within 81 seconds.

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™.

Adjustable outlet spout on the unloader tub

The electrically adjustable outlet spout on the unloader tube can be tilted by 40°. This makes unloading more precise and easier. This feature is available for all IDEAL models on STREAMER 140, 210 and all auger lengths.

Fendt TI Headlan

Professional work on the headland

The functionalities of the TI Headland management system allow the operator to customise the configuration of the headland sequence. Various target values such as cutterbar height and reel position can be set. Other functions such as road and field mode can be called up via the terminal. The IDEAL settings of the TI Headland can be transferred from one machine to another using a USB stick.

headers

Strong right from the start - to get the best results, everything has to be right from the start. That's why all Fendt IDEAL combines work with the latest generation of the world's most esteemed PowerFlow headers.

Always in the right position

With TerraControl™ table guidance you have perfect control over the widest attachments. TerraControl™ guides the attachment fully automatically at a perfect distance from and perfect inclination to the ground, working together with various functions you can use for the best results. This includes work height adjustment, resetting, ground pressure, various pre-selectable cutting heights, lifting when reversing, reel speed, positioning and headland management – everything fully automatically.

Fendt Autodock™ Crop elevator

Short setup times mean more time for harvesting. Fendt Autodock™ automatically couples the attachment within 5 seconds, setting standards in terms of ease of use. You don't even have to leave the driver's seat. Once the attachment is added, 4 hydraulic cylinders complete the connection. A hydraulic cylinder in the middle of the crop elevator frame mechanically locks the attachment. At the same time, two couplings push out to connect the PTO drives. Autodock™ connects the multi-coupler separately to the attachment and the machine. An RFID code, the 'Ag tag' detects the attachment and retrieves the last settings used for that unit.

Dust extraction on the crop elevator

The dust extraction system draws in the dust generated during threshing, it is vented to the side of the machine. The driver benefits from better visibility. The dust extraction system can be easily adjusted via the terminal in the cab.

the helix processor

What makes the Fendt IDEAL stand out from other combines is the excellent Single or Dual Helix processor. The concept of the Helix processor unites the market requirements such as maximum output, best grain quality and low energy consumption with optimum straw quality.

Superior rotors: Single Helix.

The IDEAL 7 is equipped with one rotor, the so-called Single Helix. With the Single Helix processor, the IDEAL 7 has a threshing concave area of 0.83 m² and a separation area of 1.44 m².

Superior rotors: Dual Helix.

The IDEAL 8, IDEAL 9 and IDEAL 10 are equipped with the Dual Helix processor. With two rotors, these models have a concave area of 1.66 m². With a separation area of up to 2.88 m², the Dual Helix models offer optimum separation capacity and therefore the highest throughput.

The Helix Processor: simply unique

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.

RotorFeeder feeding drum

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.

Gentle feed, low power requirement

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.

separation and cleaning

The cleaning and separation performance of the IDEAL is outstanding. Fendt IDEAL models are equipped with the unique and ingeniously simple IDEALbalance™ system and a long sieeve box to ensure that only clean crop reaches the grain tank.

Triple fan

The powerful Cyclone cleaning fan consists of three fan units with open sides for maximum air output. The fan speed can be hydraulically adjusted between 250 and 1400 rpm, to give you different speeds quickly and efficiently. The powerful airflow is split from the first drop stage, with a constant air flow generated over the entire length of the shaker shoe, giving you the best cleaning results.

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 IDEAL 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.

Choose between 3 straw distribution settings

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.

innovative technology

Getting ahead and doing more has never been easier. With efficient and reliable AGCO Power and MAN engines and proven transmission technology, the Fendt IDEAL is ready for any job. In addition to comfortable and efficient operation, reliability is an absolute strength.

Engines & reversible fan

MAN and AGCO Power engines

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. Maximum fuel efficiency can only be achieved with an engine that is perfectly matched to the machine. The IDEAL 7 is powered by a 9.8-litre AGCOPower engine producing 476 hp and the IDEAL 8, 9 and 10 models use three different MAN engines. All engines comply with Emissions Stage V regulations, and are noted for their long service intervals.

Revolutionary AirSense® Cooling

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.

Maximum propulsion

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

Fendt MotionShift

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.

cab

The IDEAL workplace for you. The Fendt IDEAL offers a comfortable cab with the best possible view of the cutterbar and all functions, making harvesting a breeze.

Workplace with the best view

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.

Everything under control

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.

Fendt VarioGuide

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.

NovAtel and Trimble

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.
