Fendt users can upgrade to the new FendtONE offboard system for free, regardless of whether they have the old or current version of the FendtONE onboard system.
“Fendt now offers free FendtONE offboard registration to all operators of tractors and machinery that use the FendtONE interface. This will enable the machines to send data to the farm office and for that data to be interpreted and exported to improve farming efficiencies in all areas of agriculture,” explains Fendt’s Ed Dennett.
To help those with older machines Fendt has also enabled FendtONE to take data from S4 tractors or other Fendt machines that run the 10.4” (NT01) terminal.
“This is crucial to broadening the user base for FendtONE as it will enable thousands more operators to take advantage of the free offboard software,” he adds.
Historically, Fendt dealers were tasked with integrating the on and offboard technology. However, the process of registering a Fendt machine and installing the offboard management system can now be done in minutes by any Fendt customer.
“All customers need are an email address and a Fendt machine that uses the FendtONE onboard interface. The registration process is accessed via Fendt’s website (www.fendt.com/fendt-one-offboard) and, once registered, users are offered a variety of helpful video guides to get started,” he adds.
With both onboard and offboard systems set up, operators will benefit from recording technology, including time and fuel for each job. Machines can also share field maps and boundaries with data from other machinery, such as sprayers, being able to benefit from tractor data.
“Connecting machinery, learning from the data each provides and sharing information across multiple agricultural platforms enables more accurate decision-making that can save operators time and money,” concludes Mr Dennett.
