Oct. 5, 2026 Source: Fendt news release Duluth, Ga. AGCO is hitting the road with the 2026 Fendt Harvest Tour, an 11-stop tour that spans six states from Ohio to North Dakota and puts its most technologically advanced combine to work in real fields while celebrating the farmers who power the season. The Fendt Harvest Tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at real harvest conditions, results and the technology reshaping what's possible in the field. At each stop, farmers will welcome Fendt's IDEAL combine directly onto their fields, giving them a hands-on opportunity to see how a connected technology ecosystem is game changing. This year's tour tells "Real Harvest Stories" in the fields of 11 farming families in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota. At each location, farmers and their families will put the IDEAL combine to work in varied harvest conditions. The exclusive IDEALdrive joystick steering system gives operators clearer sightlines and less fatigue through long days in the cab. Its 485-bushel grain tank empties in just 81 seconds to keep crews moving through tight harvest windows, while IDEALharvest automation continuously adjusts settings to help protect grain quality from pass to pass. Backed by Gold Star Customer Care, each unit includes three years or 1,250 hours of warranty coverage, scheduled maintenance, loaner support and a parts guarantee. Add in Fendt's industry-leading fuel efficiency and impressive harvest capacity, and the result is a machine that reduces cost of ownership and delivers real value for operations of all sizes. The technology story reaches beyond the cab. PTx OutRun autonomy keeps the grain cart moving alongside the combine, shuttling grain from field edge to machine and back without a second driver to help ease harvest's labor demands. Precision Planting's YieldSense 20|20 monitor displays yield by crop variety during harvest, giving farmers clearer insight into what performed in each pass. Aurora, AGCO's AI assistant within Panorama, helps connect that data across the operation to support faster, smarter decisions. "Harvest is where a full year of work comes together, and it's where Fendt technology proves itself in the moments that matter most," said Kevin Forth, Senior Tactical Marketing Manager at AGCO. "The Fendt Harvest Tour highlights hardworking farm families and shows how performance, efficiency and operator-focused innovation can make a real difference in the field."
