Fendt 1100 MT was designed based on years of experience, consistent further development and a constant willingness to help farmers and contractors all over the world to achieve maximum efficiency and performance. With its 12-cylinder AGCO Power Motor and innovative drive technology, it sets new standards in the field of power transmission and all that with full road capability.

Unique chassis for permanent best grip

The chassis is a characteristic of Fendt 1100 MT. It represents the latest expansion stage of our decadeslong experience with track tractors. Today it fulfils the fundamental ideas of achieving as much contact area as possible for the best traction and lowest soil compaction better than ever. The profi large tractor comparison also proves: No other tested large tractor brings more engine performance to the soil (profi 12/2016).

Robust design without compromises

The MTS chassis has a robust lengthwise design with rubber tracks, which are powered by fractional engagement instead of by sprockets and driving teeth. The drive wheels at the rear axle are driven by rolling tracks and have a large diameter in order to increase the contact area between the wheel and the track, and therefore to reduce track slippage. The front guide wheels stretch the rolling tracks by pushing them forward against their inner surface. The pressure directed forwards onto the guide wheels is provided by a hydraulic cylinder and a pressure accumulator so that a rolling track tension of just 142 kN is generated.

Comfortably spring-mounted

Thanks to the unique suspension system integrated into MTS, both the drives can be adapted to the ground contours independently. The oscillating rollers press the rolling track onto the ground in order to keep the contact area as large as possible even on uneven surfaces.

Rollers with pendulum suspension

The pendulum suspension of the rollers ensures even weight distribution across the entire rolling surface in order to increase traction and enlarge the contact area. The rolling area on the steel core of the rollers is sheathed with a polyethylene compound. The polyurethane compound, which is directly applied on the steel rolling surface of the rollers, creates an increased resistance against heat and tearing. This prolongs the service life of the rollers. The rollers are suspended via pendulum carriers, which allow the rolling track to flexibly follow the ground contours. The rear roller pair is suspended from a lever system using rubber dampers.

Powerful lifting unit

A steering rear linkage can be ordered ex works for all Fendt 1100 MT tractors. This hydraulic linkage is available in category III or IV and it has a lifting power of 98.5 to 198.2 kN at the lower links hooks across the entire length of stroke. The electronic control and operating elements ensure precise operation of the lifting unit.

Electronic control of lifting unit

The rear linkage is electronically operated. The electronic system modulates the hydraulic valve to lift and lower the linkage, where the driver can set different linkage parameters such as lowering and lifting speed, maximum lifting height, maximum depth, slip control and tension control. The driver adapts the EHR (electronic linkage control) to the TMC display in the cab.

Complete PTO

There is a 1000 PTO at the rear. Upon being switched on, the PTO reaches 1000 rpm at an engine speed of 1979 rpm. The rear PTO serves as a drive for equipment and makes the tracked tractor more versatile. A springoperated PTO brake blocks the PTO in switched-off condition.

Powerful hydraulic system

All Fendt 1100 MTs have a closed hydraulic system (closed centre) with pressure and quantity control (load sensing), which respond quickly and allow precise control of the hydraulic equipment. The dedicated variable flow pump conveys up to 224 l/min to the control valves and the linkage. All the hydraulic consumers are fed from the oil container situated at a higher level, which is housed in the gearbox and rear axle housing. A pump with 321 l/min capacity is available for the most challenging attachments.

Active swinging drawbar

An active swinging drawbar can be ordered for Fendt 1100 MT tractors without linkage. Two hydraulic cylinders under the tractor are connected to one of the rear control valves, and swivel the drawbar by 28° in both directions. In the process, the drawbar moves on the rollers without wearing. The drawbar can be arrested using bolts; if the control valve is switched to floating position, the drawbar can swivel freely and is damped hydraulically in the process. The active drawbar makes the tracked tractor more versatile and increases the influence of the operator.

Quiet cab The four-post cab with rollover protection (ROPS) and steep nose hood provide an excellent view in all directions. The cab is positioned high on the chassis and is shifted to the rear of the tractor in order to optimise the view of the drawbar and work area immediately behind the tractor. The driver has an unobstructed view of wider equipment thanks to the arrangement of the rear B-column. Power mirrors, all of which can be adjusted from the cab, are available if required. Independent tests confirm: The cab of Fendt 1100 Vario is the quietest in the large tractor segment with 67dB (A) (profi 12/2016).

Ergonomically designed

The operator enjoys a combination of comfort and functionality inside the cab. The insulated cab and airsprung air-ride seat makes work a pleasantly quiet driving experience and the new air conditioning system with TXV expansion valve provides the right temperature. The new sound absorber reduces noise pollution for the operator and the surroundings.

Everything at hand

The Tractor Management Centre (TMC) comprises the right armrest, control elements and display and serves as the control centre of the tracked tractor. Thanks to TMC, the operator can make all the tractor settings comfortably and control nearly all the functions centrally. The TMC armrest is attached to the right of the seat and follows its movements so that the operator always has all the control elements comfortably at hand. The driving direction is determined by pulling the gear selection lever back and forth. The gears are easily shifted using push buttons on the selection lever. Clearly labelled toggle switches are available for hydraulic valves.

Information centre

The TMC display (Tractor Management Centre) is an interactive colour monitor. It provides the driver with an overview of all the important tractor data. At the same time the driver can adjust many tractor functions using push buttons and knobs while working. This way, the TMC display can communicate with the ISOBUS attachments quickly and easily and operate them. The TMC display has a connection to a rear view camera.
