Crop farmers and contractors in Australia have now got the option of ordering a Fendt combine with a Geringhoff header following the signing of a partnership deal.
As demand for specialist combine harvester headers has increased in recent years, Fendt is now expanding its range to include special headers from Geringhoff.
To this end, a long-term partnership was recently agreed between the agricultural equipment manufacturer AGCO/Fendt and Carl Geringhoff Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, based in Ahlen, Westphalia, Germany.
With 140 years’ experience, Geringhoff is known worldwide as a premium manufacturer of draper headers, corn pickers, headers for special crops and folding headers, which Fendt considers a perfect complement to its combines.
Geringhoff’s products include draper headers with flexible cutterbars, and with a split frame and reel for the best ground adaptation, and an optional flexible cutterbar for the lowest pickup losses in stalk and bean cutting. These units adapt perfectly to the ground contour.
Fendt customers will also be able to use headers with a working width of up to 13.70m with their Fendt combine harvester in the future. Geringhoff also provides special sunflower and millet heads.
The existing range of Fendt headers, FreeFlow, PowerFlow and CornFlow, is still available.
“Geringhoff is known worldwide as a pioneer in professional headers and attachments for maximum harvesting speeds at the lowest pickup losses,” AGCO Fendt chairman Christoph Gröblinghoff says.
“These headers are an excellent complement to our existing range, and we can now provide solutions for all our customers.”
Geringhoff’s headers are sourced through sales partners and fully managed by Geringhoff, with them or the sales partner taking care of the purchasing, processing, service and after-sales side of Geringhoff products.
Geringhoff headers are sold in Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand and Africa.
