World record broken at the Fendt Field Day in Canada
Pentagon Farm Centre in Alberta, Canada invited the public to its big Fendt Field Day. Many Fendt fans followed the invitation to Lacombe on 17 October 2014 –¬ after all, the word was out that a world record was to be broken there. The challenge: to gather more than 77 Fendt drivers and their tractors together on one single field in North America. One enthusiastic Fendt driver even travelled more than 13 hours with his tractor to take part.
79 Fendt tractors participated in the parade
On the way to the Fendt Field Day, visitors could already count the different Fendt models – the way to the parking space went right past the row of tractors lined up for the parade.
“I would like to thank all those involved in making this Fendt Field Day such a great event,” said Brian Williams, Sales Manager of the Pentagon Farm Centre. He and his team of organisers succeeded in putting together a parade of 79 tractors. That was more than enough to break the record.
The Pentagon Farm Centre demonstrated tractors performing various tillage operations at the Fendt Field Day. In addition to other programme highlights, including a BBQ, the visitors could watch a demonstration of a tractor felling trees.
