Retrofit Technology Breathes New Life into Older Fendt Tractors

Crawfords is excited to announce a range of new retrofit options from Fendt‘s Smart AG Engineering division. These updates bring modern functionality to some of Fendt’s most popular tractors, ensuring they remain versatile, comfortable, and highly efficient for years to come.

UK Fendt owners can now benefit from additional hydraulic valves, retrofit side windscreen wipers, a MultifixBoard for cab-mounted control boxes, and a base plate to hold a trailer hitch, handwash container, or toolbox. These enhancements offer practical solutions to keep older Fendt models running smoothly and up to date with the latest technology.

Hydraulic Valve Enhancements for Fendt 200 and 300 Vario Models

The Fendt 200 and 300 Vario models come standard with four hydraulic valves, but a front loader typically uses two. With this new retrofit, two additional assignable hydraulic valves can be added, allowing these models to operate more implements efficiently.

Side wipers can be retrofitted to a variety of Fendt models to help visibility in poor weather conditions.

“The two new valves integrate as the 5th and 6th EHS valves (brown and violet) within FendtONE. Installed in the rear yellow and blue valve spaces, they work seamlessly with the existing multi-coupler,” adds Dennett. Available towards the end of 2024, the kit includes everything needed for installation, including cables, piping, and instructions.

Extra Storage Solutions

For Fendt 300 and 700 Vario models, Fendt has developed a base plate that can be mounted on the right side of the tractor, offering space for a trailer hitch holder, handwash container with integrated soap dispenser, or additional storage for tools, brooms, or shovels.
