The Fendt Optimum is a next-generation, stack-fold planter engineered for high-precision, efficient row-crop planting in demanding conditions. Built from the ground up, the Optimum features a premium, precision-engineered stack-fold toolbar that provides exceptional ground contact and uniform depth, ensuring consistent seed placement and even emergence across variable terrain. This design is especially well-suited for operations planting corn, soybeans, sorghum, and cotton, particularly in ridge-tilled or laser-leveled fields where quick turning and reliable performance are critical.

Purpose-built for maximum adaptability and performance, the Optimum planter offers features that help producers minimize refills and maintain planting speed. Operators can choose between standard row-unit seed hoppers or a Center Fill Station with a 55-bushel capacity, allowing extensive coverage without frequent stops. Its standard Precision 20/20 Gen3 monitor and integrated precision planting technologies such as vSet2® meters with vDrive® and DeltaForce® provide accurate seed metering and downforce control, enhancing planting accuracy and agronomic performance.

The stack-fold toolbar has four articulation points, and standard wing downforce helps keep all row units in contact with the ground for consistent planting depth. An optional Vertical Contouring Hitch allows the planter to follow field topography even more closely, delivering precise seeding results on rolling or uneven ground.
