AGCO achieved a remarkable success when Fendt, Massey Ferguson
and Valtra, three of its leading Brands, achieved all but one of
the Tractor of the Year 2016 Awards at Agritechnica this week.
The Awards, judged by a jury of journalists from 23 European
countries, were presented at a special ceremony at the Agritechnica
Show, Hannover, Germany on Sunday 8th November.
The Awards were:
Tractor of the Year 2016 – Fendt 1050 Vario
Tractor of the Year 2016 Best Utility – Massey Ferguson 5713
SL
Golden Tractor for The Design 2016 – Valtra N 174 V
“Winning these significant Awards is testament to the success of
AGCO’s multi-brand strategy,” said Martin Richenhagen – Chairman,
President & CEO, AGCO Corporation. “Every AGCO Brand is strong
and, as these Awards prove, each is exactly tailored to deliver the
specific technology, specifications and features for its individual
market sector.
“It also proves that, thanks to AGCO’s significant investment in
research & development, the individual Brands are able to
develop award-winning innovations and technology that benefit their
customers.
In awarding the title Tractor of the Year 2016 to the 517hp,
Fendt 1050 Vario, the judges noted it is the world’s most powerful
standard tractor.
The 1000 Series Fendt occupies a new power segment, fulfilling
demand for even more powerful standard tractors, which are also
manoeuvrable and versatile. The judges also praised the innovative
VarioDrive system that provides independent hydraulic drive to the
front and rear axles. This, they commented, offers a driving
experience very similar to the most sophisticated cars.
Massey Ferguson is the first manufacturer to take the top spot
in the new Tractor of the Year, Best Utility category with its new
130 hp MF 5713 SL. The jury said it had no doubts about the
tractor’s unique All In One Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
system, employed to meet the strict Tier 4 Final regulations.
The judges also noted that, thanks to its compact dimensions,
the All in One system fits neatly under the steps, not under the
bonnet and this allows the steep sloping bonnet to maintain
excellent visibility.
In awarding the Golden Tractor for the Design 2016 Award the
judges said the Valtra N 174V sports a ‘modern, dynamic, compact
and cool look’! These positive comments fit perfectly with Valtra’s
design philosophy that form follows function.
Every detail of the new N Series is designed with a purpose in
mind: to improve productivity, minimise the total costs of
ownership and make the working day of the driver comfortable. The
very compact design and a high level of functionality, ergonomics,
visibility and comfort reach a totally new level in N4. As always
with Valtra tractors, the N Series cab is also designed for reverse
driving with TwinTrac.
Dr Rob Smith, AGCO’s Senior Vice President and General Manager,
Europe, Africa and Middle East said “We are delighted with the
success of each of our Brands. The Awards demonstrate AGCO’s
commitment to providing the best solutions for its customers
wherever they are in the world and within whatever segment they
operate”.
