Weight distribution strategies

The LoadLogic weight management option also includes a hydraulic weight distribution system. This includes 3 weight management modes: Load Balance, weight centralised over the tandem chassis, and floating position. Load Balance mode evenly distributes the load of the machine across all contact points. Weight centralising mode takes the load off the outer support wheels and the entire weight is carried by the tandem chassis. It also makes sure there is enough support pressure so the in-line ballast weights do not lift up the wings. In floating position mode, the active hydraulic wing ballast is switched off.

In-line center tandem wheels eliminate pinch rows

 Not only are these automatic weight distribution adjustments to the planter frame and tire pressures assisting in reducing compaction, but so too is the tire configuration. The planter features in line center tandem wheels, which follow the affected row path already created by the tractor tires, thereby controlling traffic through the field and limiting compaction. This design, along with its front of frame mounted tire configuration, completely eliminates pinch rows, whereas conventional row unit planters have upwards of 6 compaction affected pinch rows.

Increased Capacity

Less time filling, more time planting – 130 bu. seed tank capacity and 1,000 gallon liquid fertilizer.

More capacity means less stopping, but managing that extra weight is key. Momentum not only adds capacity but also limits its negative effects through its in-line center tandem wheel design and its Load Logic weight management system.

Seed

The Fendt MOMENTUM has two separate seed tanks. The tanks can be easily reached via a platform and come with the option of an active level sensor for monitoring.

High capacity liquid fertlizer

The Fendt Momentum planter offers an optional 1,000 gallon liquid fertilizer system, allowing you to cover more ground and make fewer stops. Single band Precision Planting Conceal options can be equipped directly from the factory.

vSet metering unit

The vSet is easy to use, incredibly accurate and easy to maintain. It has an extremely high singulation accuracy.

In furrow fertilizer placement

 The Conceal fertilizer application system is equipped with a single-sided application knife. The application knife is located between the depth control wheel and the double disc coulter. The application point is 3 inches beside the furrow at a depth of 0.75" to 1.5". As Conceal works directly next to the seed furrow, the application is perfectly placed next to the seed furrow, regardless of the terrain and cornering. A maximum of 71 GPM can be applied.
