 Topic: Fendt get award for 70 year old Technology?
Posted: 15 Mar 2022 at 8:28pm |
I posted this on another thread but haven't heard from anyone on how good German engineering is. 
Seriously does this remind any of you of something?
Fendt VarioPull: A pioneering innovation.On
large combines(tractor/w implement), the question arises of how to optimise the axle load
distribution to prevent load relief, protect the soil and maximise the
traction power of the tyres. The aim of Fendt VarioPull is to be able to
set the ideal load distribution between the axles, by making better use
of the existing weight of the operating equipment in terms of traction,
taking the varying implement tongue weights into account. In doing so,
the tongue weight is shifted as far as possible from the rear axle to
front axle. VarioPull does this by drawing the coupling point , for
example the lower link hook, as close as possible to the rear axle using
a hydro-mechanical locking cylinder. This lowers the lever arm between
coupling point and rear axle, and therefore reduces the load relief on
the front axle.
Fendt VarioPull: trendsetting innovation awarded with silver.
The DLG honored the Fendt VarioPull, a system with a perfect tractor/implement weight distribution, with the silver medal.

Yep and just lacking that snap coupler underneath. Nothing like winning awards for inventing 70 year old technology. Of course in a round about way they did inherit it.
I don't know if it will but I sure could see this having some need in Europe. In almost all area's they have to run singles because of narrow roads and laws that require flag cars.
A few years ago a ex JD mechanic was looking at my 7080 and was surprised it had traction booster, he said he never new that and JD didn't have that until the 8000 series over 20 years later. I told him that it was ancient technology on the 7000 series Allis because they had been using it since the 50's. He looked at me kinda puzzled when I told him with trailed implements too, what do you think the snap coupler did.

Some people think that if John Deere didn't invent it, it never happened.

That’s a fact. Remember when JD revolutionized the combine world with the hydro handle with electro hydraulic switches on it that Gleaner had been using for 20 years or when turned the hay baling world when they put a stuffer on their round baler that Heston was running for about 20 years on big squares.

Pretty soon, someone will "invent" a tractor that runs on steam...
