Fendt Rogator 900 Series
Fendt AGCO
The Fendt Rogator 900 Series applicator features adjustable clearance. The new applicator is the latest solution from Fendt created to meet the evolving crop production needs of today’s farmers. With the push of a button, the two new H (high-clearance) models automatically raise from standard to high clearance of up to 76 inches in less than 45 seconds for critical late-season dry or liquid application and less disturbance of tall crops. After application, the applicators just as quickly return to standard clearance of 56 to 60 inches, depending on model for superior stability on the road. Changing between the liquid system and a dry spinner or pneumatic system takes less than two hours: Unhook two or four hydraulic connections, remove the on-board system from the chassis and replace it with the one needed for the next job. The hydraulic pump for all systems stays on the chassis. The Fendt Rogator 900 Series has five models: RG932, RG934, RG934H, RG937, and RG937H, ranging from 315- to 365-hp. The RG932 and RG934, with 70-inch-diameter tires, have 56-inch standard clearance; the RG937 has 80-inch tires and 60-inch standard clearance. The two high-clearance, dual-position chassis models, RG934H and RG937H, change to clearance heights of 72 inches and 76 inches, respectively. -
