Fendt Harvest Tour Brings IDEAL Combine to 11 Farms
AGCO’s 2026 Fendt Harvest Tour will bring IDEAL combines and connected technology to 11 farms across six states.
AGCO is taking its Fendt Harvest Tour to 11 farming operations across Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota from October 12 through October 22.
The 2026 tour will bring Fendt IDEAL combines into fields operated by 11 farming families, with each stop featuring different harvest conditions and opportunities for farmers to see the combine and its connected technology in operation.
Combine Technology
The Fendt IDEAL combine featured on the tour includes IDEALdrive joystick steering, a 485-bushel grain tank, and IDEALharvest automation. According to AGCO, the grain tank can empty in 81 seconds, while IDEALharvest continuously adjusts combine settings during harvesting.
AGCO also said each unit is covered by three years or 1,250 hours of warranty coverage, along with scheduled maintenance, loaner support, and a parts guarantee.
The technology demonstrated during the tour extends beyond the combine. PTx OutRun autonomy is designed to move a grain cart alongside the combine without a second driver. Precision Planting’s YieldSense 20|20 monitor displays yield by crop variety during harvest, while Aurora, AGCO’s AI assistant within Panorama, connects data across the operation.
“Harvest is where a full year of work comes together, and it’s where Fendt technology proves itself in the moments that matter most,” said Kevin Forth, senior tactical marketing manager at AGCO. “The Fendt Harvest Tour highlights hardworking farm families and shows how performance, efficiency and operator-focused innovation can make a real difference in the field.”
