Ran fendt for a whole summer and it was frustrating at first but after you get used to it you never want to go back. The customizability in those things is insane

It's funny looking at you guys trying to figure out a Fendt. I've driven both Fendt and John Deere for 7-8 years. Once your gonna figure out the Fendt, I promise your gonna love it! Amazing tractor and easy to control :D

Hello you have to drive without the clutch, it is still best if you turn on the orange buttons labeled TMS and the gas pedal next to them. Then you regulate the speed with the accelerator and only have to tap the joystick once to tell it in which direction you want to go. Greetings from Germany

In my opinion, the best way for driving a fendt vario is in the foot pedal mode, is nearly same as driving your pickup with automatic transmission! In the field you use the cruise control. Fendt driving is so easy and comfortable when you do it the right way.

When you get used to how it works it's actually very clever design, and like i said before try using pedal mode with tms you wil control your speed with your foot the tractor management system (tms) wil control the rpm completely. Have a great day Laura

if your fendt is beeping at you look straight ahead at the dash its trying to tell you something like your handbrake is still on lol

Hi Laura, some small guide lines. Start the Fendt with clutch in. Make sure the orange button with TMS on it on the right console is lid up. Next to it is a pedal symbol, make sure that one lights up also. Then grab the main joystick and push the small ''activation'' button on the back with your finger, whilest doing that push the joystick to the front. The green arrow on the dashboard turns on. Now just release the handbrake and give it some (gass), -->push in accelerator pedal. You've got your self a automatic now, when you want to change directions, just grab the main joystick push the activation button with your finger and give the joystick a small tap to the left. This will change the direction, the tractor will slow down and the arrow on the dashboard changes direction. Push in the accelerator pedal and away you go. Hope it helps, these tractors drive SO easy and very smooth. And that little ''Nob'' is a multifunction joystick. Left to right and up and down are the blue and yellow colored hydraulics and the 3 and 4 mean aditional function for a frontloader. The buttons sent positive 12v to a dedicated pin in a plug in the wiring harnes.

Greetings from Fendt-Country^^

Normally you never need the clutch pedal in driving a Fendt Vario!!

6:14 Grant unboxing that filter like a kid unwrapping a Christmas present ... :D

It's strange to see someone being amazed but also a bit overwhelmed from the technology which I'm so familiar with. Learning to drive a Fendt takes some time but once you know what you are doing, it's easy peasy. You will have a lot of fun, especially with the Joker! #germanengineering

Gonna be a lot to learn and a lot to get used to too!! 👍👊

Hi Laura, in Fendt Country we have a saying: "Es ist noch kein Meister vom Himmel gefallen" - "No master has yet fallen from the sky". That means: practice, practice, and practice ;-) If you drive every day, you'll find out soon. Don't give up! It was a pity that your ride was sooo short; I hoped it had been longer. Maybe tomorrow? Happy Easter ;-)!

Love the overhead door cam!!!

Tapping the stick left switches direction without changing the set speed. Useful when using a loader.

After watching You, Grant and your families work on your farms I'm amazed at the amount and depth of the knowledge you have to have to work on your farms.

On the Fendt, there's a Button with the Letter N on the Right Armrest to put it in Neutral. If you want to drive it, Start engine, let the parking brake go , on the left side of the steering wheel is a little orange switch, that's for putting it in forward/reverse, then you just have to carefully press the accelerator pedal and it drives in the selected direction🙈

Great job servicing the pivots Laura and Grant

Why I'm addicted to watching these video's, I don't know Lol, but they are so good.

Mr. Grant takes these issues as a Trooper. Sure..We are here..want to get there. Easy peasey.

I do enjoy seeing all this new and old equipment on your videos. Good job

Your talking about why folks stay with one brand. Learning curves are steep for sure. Love and blessings

you'll never want to go back once you've got it.

I enjoy all of it. Nice to see Grant included in this.

your wife is so good at working with the equipment

That garage shot was awesome!!! Glad to see you guys continuously coming up with new ideas.

yall are funny, im a fendt guy, ive got 3 of them watching you driving that rig made me laugh

Switch on pedal mode and TMS at the beginning. There is a orange dial for the sensitivity of the pedal. Looks like the hand throttle and is right beside it. Pedal mode is easier to learn. Especially in the yard and on the road.

Rangoon here and pleasure to be one of earliest on this blog. After the Fendt intro know why dairy buddy wanted me to get on PC at his house to learn about Fendt. All my farm friends are getting ready to plant corn mid to late April IF normal spring. Ohio

Really cool watching you operate all kinds of equipment. I have always loved farming, had no idea there were YT channels. Awesome!

I just love Laura super smile!!!

All the fendt drivers are yelling at the screen! THE STICK! USE THE STICK! 🤣

Sad part is, once you have it all figured out, you'll probably have to give it back.......

You did alot better then i could. Its 👌. Nice video. Good job

Love both John Deere and fendt. My 1975 Oliver 2255 is simple, get in turn Key start engine ,push clutch, put in gear, 3 point up or down, hydraulic up or down, drive away. Does require skill to got as strait as the gps controlled tractors. First learned to drive a 1942 international Model M. Cost 1400$ new, still have it. Love to see the field test on new tractor, nice to see young farmers learning to work.

I have to say when you hop in a Fendt for the first time you feel like your in a rocket ship. But as soon as you get used to it it can be really handy. But it if you want to use the tractors full potential you have to run it like every day for a year. If you never even have sat in a Fendt before it is hard to hop in and drive away, but if you know how to put it in gear it is relatively easy. Nice Video. Greetings from Germany.😂👍🏻🇩🇪

Farm Folks, Get'n it dun !!! Glad to see Dad, and Hubbie Luv you Guys 💕

Sooo... finding a pound of dirt inside your vent duct might suggest cutting your service hours down to at least half of what the manual says. Those filters can be reused, though - if you clean it quite carefully from the inside with compressed air. Just make sure to inspect the filtre for holes as you go along.

Love your videos. I’m not a farmer but I love tractors. I have a 1946 Allis-Chalmers C and helped restore a Russell steam engine. With that as my reference point this big modern equipment just blows my mind.

funny to watch as a german who usually drives fendt once you have figured it out this thing ist brilliant an very easy to drive

Seeing the John Deere tractor puts a huge smile on my face as I was a Quality Inspector for the cabs that go on top of the tractor at John Deere in Waterloo,Ia. It's quite possible I could have been the one that inspected that tractor. On behalf of us employees at JD we thank you for your commitment as well the farmers all around the world.

Great video as always!! Loved Grants segments, I laughed out loud when he dropped the bolt and I never knew that’s where the air filters are on a tractor! Best regards to the both of you and your beautiful family 💕

Laura, I feel your pain on trying to drive the Fendt. I work at a Deere dealer and we had a new Fendt come in for a piece of equipment and trying to figure it out was a disaster Lol. Hope you have a great Easter

I'm glad to see y'all figured out how the Drone works. This can add so much to your videos now 👍👍👍👍👍

Fends, are superb once you get used to the controls, they invented the vario transmission 20 years ago

RFM Laura!! Read the Flipping Manual!! 😂😂😂

OK, I've got Grant's wish list: a pocketknife for opening boxes, an extendable magnet for fishing out dropped bolts, and a new starter cord for the generator....lol. Poor guy had a hard day.

Hi Laura, i m Thierry, a French Farmer un south west of France .i live in Gers I follow you since 8 days Your vidéo are super Continue this is interresting ,for me Congratulations

Go for you Laura of thinking of safety first,by closing the door.

love fendt

European tractors like to beep if you haven`t released parking break ... or have forgotten to activate it. :D

You know you need a fendt in your life

After having a lot of experience with these fendt tractors its very interesting to watch you try to figure it out

Interesting on how complicated the Fenti was. I liked the part with Grant working on a tractor. Always always fun to watch your dad. Thank You for shraing

"Like a blond driving a car for her first time" 🤣😉 GOOD LUCK! And well done with the backing...

I cannot believe you guys are trying to top off the oil in that machinery without cleaning all the dirt off the tank first before removing the plug.

In the last 10 years we have switched our equipment from mostly deere to mostly case and now mostly agco, glad you feel my pain with the controls.

Just backing a tractor out but with music so cool lol, music makes everything cool

I drive Fendt tractors almost every day. You should try pedal mode. That means you don't need to use joystick when you are driving. It's that orange button with pedal symbol on it. And also you can adjust sensitivity of gas pedal. I prefer that over driving with joystick. And to put it in neutral you just click the N button and that's it. For lite ground cultivation I recommend use 3rd. sensitivity. First and second are for jobs that require high RPM but low speed. Fourth is for transportation jobs. Great video by the way! 😉

I didn't know there were such cute farms ..!

Yusss the letter made it! Enjoy! Minnesota Awesome made those stickers in case anybody is wondering.

Garage Door cam was a great one! I haven't seen that before. Make it a signature shot for you.

Just Time Laura you will get it quickly!!!! Grant awesome slo-mo on filters!!!!!!

That's why I like the older tractors there's no electrical to worry about their lot easier to work with

Maybe you have to be German to drive a Fendt, haha.

Good choice

So weird to see you struggle with the controls so familiar to me. However, I'm sure I would feel the same when trying to drive a John Deere. I'm curious to hear how you will like it once you get used to it a bit. Also, I like Grants bits by the way!

Thanks Laura and Grant! 🚜

I have learn to drive on a deutz fahr at home but on my work we have fendt that step was easy. Deutz and fendt are realy easy tractors if you have workt whit it for a day

Kudos to the Bettermans from MN. Love the duck duck grey duck sticker.

Baby steps Laur!

With our 722(I know it seems small) there are different settings on how to drive it, with the gas pedal, with the joy stick are the one we use.

Fendt definitely isn’t the most userfriendly brand for a new operator, but if you get into all the functions and learn how to use it, you never wanna come back to another brand

Been waiting for another video.👍👍👍👍 Thank you 😁😁😁

Try a little P/M on those machines, I would bet that cab filter hadn't been cleaned in a least a year, or if ever!!!!!!! Try a little water and soap on that tractor, and maybe you'll see that it's green!!! Later: }

Slightly more complicated than the 40's era Farmall I drove.

Your new toy does have a lot of different buttons than the John Deere. I think once you get in the field you will be running it like a pro thanks for sharing

You are always interesting and knowledgeable and fun, keep it up

I learned to drive on a Deere. Deal with my Grandpa was if I could start it, I could drive it:) Which meant I had to be able to spin the flywheel. 10 years old, that was one fun summer;)

You buy a tractor and dont know how to drive it😂😂😂 good one

hello, it is very interesting to follow your videos, you are very good !! a big hello from Italy !! my company for years only Fendt because we love technology ... but jhon deere for me is pure power

Way ahead of me....I am not a farmer...had no idea what a Feng was... but I like learning... thx

Happy Easter 🐣 Laura Grant and your families

Cute Laura 👏👏👏

Boys & girls getting down on the farm🤗 Thank you for sharing your interesting & productive lives with us! I look forward to each of your videos! May God bless you both abundantly more than you can possibly ask or think 🙏🏼👩🏼‍🌾👨‍🌾🙏🏼

WHAT A BUNCH OF NEWBIES!!!!!!! Is what they will be saying when they revisit this video.

That was pretty cool! Nice job figuring out all the multicolored buttons, bells and whistles on this fancy beast. I can see you are having fun learning all about it. Thanks for the video! Love ❤️ you, Grammy

Love the ATC's Grant. You really should drop those filters out daily and tap the dirt out of them.

Great video Laura and Grant

I guess there's more than one way to open a filter box.

You’ll get it always do

YAY!!! Love the Grant segment!!

Laura..I am forever a fan of the (Think Tank) Grant.

Operator's manual!

On that tractor there’s a place in the monitor you can move the remotes around without moving hoses I’d place the raise and lower on the forward/reverse lever

The most beautiful farmer in the world :)

as a german fendt mechanic it looks pretty funny how you try to drive this thing :)

Duck Duck Grey Duck! (it's a Minnesota thing)

Ever been told to drive a Mazak CNC lathe when driving a Hass for years? Like learning another language.

I'm farming in Korea and you seem so cool
