The 937 model with a 6000 litre stainless steel tank was a highlight on the AgWest site at Dowerin. A slightly smaller 934 model will also be available
The 900 series Rogators have been restyled with Fendt livery and are powered by an AGCO Power 8.4L, six-cylinder diesel which requires AdBlue and generates a maximum of 272kw (365hp) depending on the model. The engine is Tier 4 Final compliant for exhaust emissions and as such has a selective catalytic reduction system and diesel particulate filter fitted.
When ordered with a combo-ready chassis, the liquid system on the Fendt Rogator can be swapped out to allow the vehicle to be used as a dry product spreader using an L4500 Edge steel spreader box manufactured by New Leader with capacities from 7.1-9.3 cubic metres.
The combo-ready chassis includes additional hydraulic pumps and bulkhead connections as standard to allow for a simplified changeover from liquid to dry reported to take only three hours to complete.
Australian Rogators will come standard with 80-inch tyres and drivetrain packages with tyre options from 380mm to 710mm wide available from the factory. Road speed is 50km/h via hydro motors and there is four-corner airbag suspension with patented dual struts to allow for 150mm of travel and greater stability and control on the road and in the field.
An all-wheel-drive SmartDrive system continuously and independently powers each wheel. VarioCruise allows two speeds to be pre-set (for in paddock and on road use) and forward and reverse shuttling.
The Fendt tractor Management System (TMS) automatically increases or decreases engine RPM when more power is needed maximising fuel use efficiency and minimising cab noise. GatorTrak four-wheel steering is also an option on all models.
"Getting our hands on the Fendt Rogator is something we have been looking forward to since the team at AGCO announced the introduction to us around 12 months ago," said Bruce Cunningham, dealer principal of AgWest Machinery
"With this product, we can offer our customers exceptional, quality equipment from the Fendt brand for all aspects of the farming season. We can't wait to get a few into paddocks and show off the potential for our customers."
