Shaving half a tonne off a 200hp tractor is a move that can only be of benefit for the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agriland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07386.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.agriland.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07386-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Fendt close up\" class=\"wp-image-1265736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.agriland.ie\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07386-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.agriland.ie\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07386-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cdn.agriland.ie\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07386-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.agriland.ie\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07386-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.agriland.ie\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07386-2048x1280.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Solidity and reliability are the hallmarks of Fendt, but the tractors are weightier as a consequence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One feature of the Fendt 620 is that the power boost, which will give up to 126hp, supports the ancillaries such as AC and electronics rather than the PTO, as has always been the case with this sort of system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feel the pinch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that the trade is not as lively as many manufacturers and dealers would wish this spring, with recorded tractor sales down on both sides of the Atlantic and many stories of slow moving stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sales manager in Major Equipment, Ballyhaunis, Co.

it carries a good stock of whichever brands it trades in, and Major is no exception &#8211; with a selection of tankers and other implements ready to go, it&#8217;s just a question of when, according to Martin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The milk cheques are now arriving and the basic inputs will soon be paid for, which will hopefully leave some margin to be invested in machinery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forward with Fleming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dylan Young of Fleming, on the other hand, was brimming with confidence and enthusiasm, noting that the factory at Newbuildings is working flat out trying to keep up with orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This might appear to be something of a contradiction to what the rest of the trade is reporting, yet Dylan notes that the majority of orders come from dealers stocking up, rather than in response to specific orders from individual farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
