Fendt launches MOMENTUM seeder

With a capacity of up to 5.300kg of fertilizer, the Fendt MOMENTUM planter arrives in Brazil with a high level of technology, including the exclusive vApply Granular system for distributing fertilizers and the unprecedented Fendt Smart Frame that guarantees uniformity in the seed deposit

The Fendt MOMENTUM folding planter was 100% designed and produced in Brazil, arriving on the market to revolutionize planting on large properties. Fendt MOMENTUM offers models with 24, 30 and 40 lines in 45cm spacing and can also be configured in 50cm spacing, with a reduction of two lines in its nominal model. In smaller planters, the fertilizer box has a capacity of 4.000kg and, in the 40-row model, it reaches 5.300kg. These numbers make the Fendt MOMENTUM the largest planting machine with fertilizer distribution on the planting line in history for sale in Brazil. 

When folded, the planter measures 4,3m, the smallest transport width in its category, without the need to disassemble any component. To be transported on flat trucks, without the need for beaters, it is only necessary to remove the fertilizer box and the external wheels from the central chassis.
The double wheels work in tandem and help reduce soil compaction and the efforts applied to the chassis during transport between one field and another. The working widths are 10,2m, 13,5m and 18m, in the 24, 30 and 40 line versions, respectively. The singulation index (percentage of failed and double seeds) of the new planter can reach 99,6% in corn, even at planting speeds above 10km/h.
Within the Precision Planting technology package, Fendt MOMENTUM exclusively brings a different product: the vApply Granular system, which guarantees the precise delivery of fertilizer to each planting line. 

FENDT SMART FRAME
Regardless of the condition of the terrain, the planter can plant in flat areas and also on uneven terrain or contour lines, ensuring seed deposits are always at the same depth. To make this possible, the Fendt Smart Frame comes into action, combining the intelligent subframe (Smart Frame), which reads whether all lines are in contact with the ground, and Delta Force, which applies the correct pressure to each one. of the lines that are in contact with the ground.
With this system, the planting lines are not attached directly to the machine chassis; they are attached to a tool bar, divided into three sections that, driven by two hydraulic cylinders each, keep the lines always in contact with the ground. 
The pressure springs of each planting line existing in other planters gave way to the Delta Force hydraulic system, which uses sensors to keep the lines at the same depth. The combination of these technologies forms the Fendt Smart Frame, a set of solutions that promise to provide productivity at a higher level. 

MONITOR 20|20 SEEDSENSE
The 20|20 monitor is responsible for controlling all seeder systems. Through it, it is possible to make adjustments, corrections and decision-making in real time. With this resource, it is possible to define the fertilizer rate, seed population, seed deposit depth, monitor singulation (number of failures and doubles), pressure applied to the soil, row contact with the soil, planting and control map planter vacuum. All this data on the monitor also informs the “good route” which tells the operator whether it is possible to increase the planting speed or not, always maintaining maximum quality. 

FENDT PLANTING SOLUTION 
The Fendt planting solution combines two major launches of the brand in Brazil: the Vario 1000 tractors and the Fendt MOMENTUM planters with fertilizers. This set promises to deliver productivity, as they are the largest on the market, and efficiency, as they are capable of achieving the highest agronomic indices.
