The development of the IDEAL combine is also a significant step
to continuously strengthen AGCO’s global harvesting offering and to
solidify AGCO’s position as the leading full line manufacturer of
agricultural solutions.
The new generation of combines is the result of a global “Voice
of Customer” study. The findings showed that there is a need for an
entirely new combine platform, prompting AGCO’s R&D team to
start from a “blank sheet of paper.”
A global team from different AGCO sites developed the features
customers had pointed out in the study. “IDEAL is part of AGCO’s
global platform strategy that supports synergies across different
regions, saves cost, and optimizes supply chain management. Like
AGCO’s Global Series tractors, this combine platform expresses our
commitment to brand-new designs, and to practical solutions that
empower farmers across the world to be more productive and to feed
a growing world population,” said Eric Hansotia, Senior Vice
President, Global Crop Cycle & Fuse Connected Services.
Close to 50 combine prototypes were built and tested in the lab,
on the field and around the globe in varying environments to
develop a unique combine that is able to be used for all crops and
operate in all conditions, in all parts of the world.
“Our customers harvest in many different conditions, and each
farm has a unique set of requirements for their operation,”
continued Hansotia. “The IDEAL combine aims at exceeding our
customers’ needs and expectations. It is the most innovative
combine we have ever produced and an investment in the future of
harvesting. IDEAL will change the way harvesting is done
today.”
At the heart of the IDEAL combine is an efficient processing
system which outperforms on grain and straw quality, grain
handling, power efficiency, and capacity in a wide variety of
conditions.
The IDEAL combine features the latest patented innovations from
AGCO’s Fuse Connected Services division, is fully connected, offers
an automated combine adjustment system, and Real Time Crop Flow
visualization.
IDEAL stands for ease of use and optimizing complex harvesting
operations by providing the efficiency, visibility and the comfort
farmers need on the field.
IDEAL is the first high capacity combine of its kind with such a
narrow body and unique for its impressive design. IDEAL is designed
for convenient road transportation.
IDEAL will be available in three of AGCO’s core brands:
Challenger, Fendt and Massey Ferguson and will debut at
Agritechnica in November 2017.
The new combine will be launched into different markets in 2018.
IDEAL will be offered in 3 different models, 7, 8 and 9, will be
available with tires or tracks, and also in ParaLevel version.
