Fendt tractors, developed and produced in Marktoberdorf are one of the most famous products of the region.
The Fendt 716 also appeared on BBC1 Scotland, on the program Countryfile, where world class Fendt Driver, Steven Brown, of Inverdovet Farm, was awarded an award for winning the annual Scottish Fendt Ploughing Match, where he received a prize of £5,000.

Other manufacturers such as ZF or John Deere have developed their own but Fendt's Vario is considered a market leader.
•
The Fendt Vario offers 60km/h at 1600rpm on its 800 series and 900 series models, however this is individual Fendt and no other manufactures offer this with exception to JCB who offer a CVT transmission which will travel at 70km/h
