Hey, asking the question, what's new from Commodity Classic 2024. We're in the Fent booth with Brandon Montgomery
00:05
and my man Kelly Garrett talking about this. Varrio two elevens 110 horsepower. These this size of tractor's now
00:12
almost called a utility tractor. Uh, which seems a little big, but if I old by old the old day standards.
00:16
But, uh, it's got a loader on it. It does a whole bunch of stuff. It's got the front wheel assist.
00:21
It's, uh, got a whole bunch more technology that you're gonna explain to me anyway. What's new? What's it do?
00:26
What's new? This is the 200 series. This is brand new from Fent. It starts at 95 horsepower
00:32
and goes up to 124 horsepower in that range. We're looking at the standard version here today. So that means it's the, the natural stance,
00:39
but we also offer a narrow version to go in vineyard applications too. And this thing is like the Swiss Army knife on the farm.
00:46
They can do absolutely anything. It's got front axle suspension, cab suspension. It's standard with a CVT transmission.
00:53
There's no clutching, no shifting. So cattle work, loading manure, everything on the farm that you need to do, um, auger cart work.
01:01
And it's got the same operating system on a small tractor as it does a 500 horsepower tractor.
01:06
So if you need to go back in to replant, which often happens with a smaller planter, you can go back
01:10
and hit those spots that have been flooded out Yeah. In The spring. That's, that's a neat application I thought about.
01:14
Where do you use something like this? I I, the Swiss army knife concept speaks to me as a dairy farm kid.
01:19
You're using, you're using your tractor not just for one task. You're using it for a whole bunch of stuff. This gets well,
01:24
Like you talked about, you know, the power that's here, the 110 horse front wheel assist, but still the compact size of it going into my cattle shed
01:32
and low load manure going into my com commodity shed loading the feed wagon, pushing snow
01:37
around the house, things like that. Loading bales. The size of it is nice because it makes it more nimble.
01:42
More maneuverable. Yeah. But still has a powerhouse. Yeah. You know that that's what is attractive to
01:48
Me. Yeah. The trade off used to be okay. Yeah, it's nimble. I can get in stuff, but also it's not
01:52
enough juice once I get there. This thing's, uh, this thing's got the power and all that. Do most of these, I'm gonna guess, granted it's new, come
02:01
probably get ordered with a loader. I mean this is that size that's probably gonna go out the door with a loader. Am
02:05
I right? This thing's built for a loader. So the turning radius on this thing's standard with basically all the, the loader mounts
02:11
and sub frame mounts, it's always almost nonstop with the loader or the front three point hitch, which a lot of guys use for a snowblower in the winter time.
02:20
Or they put a weight on the front, they're doing spreading fertilizer out the back Fi finch was a, a, a pioneer on that front, front,
02:26
front end, PTO shaft front end three point hitch and that's got this on here. So this is, That's right.
02:32
A lot of cattle operations could use something like this. That's exactly it. And I go back to that Swiss army knife.
02:36
Literally it can do anything and if it doesn't come with that option, you can add it on later too.
02:41
The best thing you can do is look back at all the limitations of the stuff you've operated from the time you were a kid till now and then
02:46
how the new stuff addresses that. That's what I think is kind of cool. My utility tractor is so much more practical, does
02:53
so much more than the tractor they put me on when I was nine years old. Alright, your normal diesel operation. Everything.
02:58
Everything pretty much the same. Yep. Also the greatest technology. Okay. Anything else I need to know? Get me out the door here.
03:03
Last thing here. All applications that you're doing, this thing will go 60 feet per hour all the way to 25 miles per hour with no shifting.
03:12
So you know all those manure applications that you're trying to do, clean out stalls, you wanna be able
03:16
to have safe applications. This thing with that CBT is, is incredible. From 60 feet in an hour to 25 miles per hour, those of us
03:25
that have to get a hip replacement because of clutching can really appreciate that. Trust me. All
03:30
Right. Planting trees, everything, you know, on the farm, CCBT, technology's amazing from where we used to be.
03:35
You know, when you're riding the clutch and things like that. Yeah. And now it's just a smooth operation.
03:39
Kelly Garrett, Damien Mason, Brandon Montgomery. We're coming at you from commodity class of 2024 from here at the Fent booth.
03:45
We've been asking the question, what's new and what does it do all day? And we're bringing it to you. So thanks for being here.
03:51
Till next time.
