A Fendt Katana 65 working in Northern Ireland during last week.

A Fendt Katana 65 self-propelled forage harvester has been spotted working in Northern Ireland.
Fendt says that it is just undertaking testing in Irish conditions and that it is not planning on doing a major demonstration run this summer.
So far, the machine has been trouble-free and the lucky drivers have been impressed with its output.

The machine will be spending the next couple of weeks in Northern Ireland, but may come down to the south for some customer and press demonstrations.
It is believed that there is good interest in this machine among Irish contractors and also in the larger machine, the Katana 85.
The specs of these machines are very impressive, with 625hp and 850hp respectively. Four-wheel-drive is standard on the different models. Both Katanas are fitted with Kemper headers, which are proven in Irish conditions.
The big Fendts would be an interesting addition to the Irish harvester market if Fendt decides to market them here. This will depend on the testing programme that is currently being undertaken being a success. Here’s hoping it is, as they are an imposing sight in the field.
