Fendt has recently announced a number of updates to its self-propelled forager.
These updates include a new pick-up, easier coupling and uncoupling of maize attachments, in addition to extending the heavy-duty wear package.
These updates will be available on the foragers for the 2019 silage season.
New pick-up
The latest forager from Fendt will be fitted with a new grass pick-up, the P3003 Maximum.
Fendt has explained that the new pick-up has an improved heavier-duty drive, a new heavier-duty auger and a greater distance from the front tyre to the header.
The increase in distance from the front tyre to the pick-up is an attempt to improve access to the machine, especially around the in-feed area.
The new auger is also fitted with heavy-duty flights.
Comfort chassis
The latest Katana will come with the option of a comfort chassis.
This was designed for owners of the 460 and 475 maize attachments.
With the comfort chassis, operators will be able to couple and uncouple the maize attachment without leaving the cab.
Heavy-duty wear package
Fendt has now made the heavy-duty wear package available as an optional extra on the latest Katana forager in an attempt to significantly increase the length of the service life.
This includes a heavy-duty drum floor and a heavy-duty wiper for the smooth roller of the in-feed unit.
