Fendt Optimum Planters
Engineered for precision, built for uptime, the Fendt Optimum Stack-Fold Planter helps you take full control of your planting window. Purpose-built for cotton, corn, soybeans and sorghum in ridge-till and laser-leveled fields, it delivers accurate seed placement, terrain adaptability and narrow transport, all in one operator-focused, high-capacity system. When timing is tight and every acre counts, the Optimum helps you plant with confidence and stay ahead.Key Features at a Glance
Precision That Drives Profitability
- Factory-integrated Precision Planting® technologies, including the 20|20® Gen3 Monitor, vSet2® meters with vDrive® and DeltaForce®, ensure 99%+ seed placement accuracy. Better placement means stronger emergence, fewer skips or doubles and a more uniform crop stand so you get the most from every acre.
Depth Consistency You Can Trust
- The stack-fold toolbar flexes at four points, and standard wing downforce keeps all row units firmly in the ground even in uneven or worked-over terrain. You get consistent planting depth and better root establishment across the entire pass, not just the center section.
Adapts to Your Ground
- The Vertical Contouring Hitch option lets the planter follow field contours up, down, forward and back, helping you maintain ideal seed placement even in rolling or uneven fields. That means less time second-guessing emergence later in the season.
Faster Turns and Easier Transport
- Quick-turning capability, wing tilt and a narrow transport width make headland turns and road moves faster and less stressful. Tilt adjustments also help avoid trees, fences or field edges saving time and frustration when every minute matters.
More Acres Per Fill
- Choose individual seed hoppers or a 55-bushel Center Fill Station (CFS) to match your operation. Either way, the Optimum is built for fewer stops and more time in the row helping you cover more ground when conditions are right.
