(20,000 characters)[Music] no trailer [Music] required Cory that's why he's got the nickname the mouth right all right guys we are at mcfarlands in the heart of cheese country Wisconsin the home of Culver right Culver home of Culver and I'm with my buddy Corey and Cory's actually got John here with us today because we are going to be looking at what Cory deems to be the absolute farm tractor the absolute plow tractor there's nothing else like it that he's ever experienced and he sells these tractors he sells all sorts of tractors but he says there there's no tractor in this category that he's even close to being capable of what this machine can do that would be accurate why so the it all starts in my mind on on what is uh a tractor of this size um to me a tractor of this size is going to fit in classes like uh what we sell here would be like a Massie Ferguson 5711 uh 4700 series um and then the Kabota side of it's going to be like the M4 M5 um and there's any other brand has that similar tractor and what's what's interesting with it is what you don't get versus what you get and what we want to show you is what you get for probably a little bit higher of a price what size category is this Cory um what's what's weight class was like something be uh 9500 to 15,000 lb how many horsepowers 100 to 110 horse oh perfect okay and uh you said that this would this machine will actually blow this one out of the water I believe so I believe build quality and everything like that what you get from this machine is what separates this from every other brand out there walk me through it absolutely so the reason why we got John here today with us is because when we work on the fent tractors um we have a product specialist John would be our product specialist for the fent brand um it's not that I don't know these tractors the problem is is on the technical side of it that's what we train John to know way better than I do um the operational side of it these things are a whole another level of experience where we just don't hand them off to a customer they pick them up with their trailer and we say good luck with them we actually go through a process where John goes out first day on delivery day um works with those guys on these tractors um and then what we say we kind of let them get frustrated a little bit once they get frustrated a little bit that's where we come back because then we can ask educated questions as the operator of how do I do this I I I've been Str struggling try to figure this out so there's a lot more to the final delivery that comes with something you know of this quality but wait it gets better there's the holy cow warranty but let's not give the holy cow warranty away yet okay the holy cow warranty is coming up that's going to come up later in the video we can say it because I don't think you bleep it out but it's the warranty too I would say you're right all right we got to bleep that part out I don't want the kids here in that part all right but what sets this thing apart Cory you still haven't talked to me about what sets it apart so the biggest thing that's different in my opinion than any other tractor and we can talk about a bunch of the other qualities with this but this tractor is going to going to sport a front suspension you can see it with that cylinder right there which is going to allow us to be able to do 28 M hour with a tractor of this size um and also it's going to come standard as a CVT transmission so it is going to shift as smooth it's not shifting um it is going to drive as smooth as your pickup truck because of that and there's no other tractor in the world as my understanding in this size range that does that to my knowledge as well there is nothing that you can spe to get with the front suspension and a CBT Transmission in this size class but that's not all that's special about this machine now before we get into all of the unique details this machine is new to North America but it's not new correct correct so this this machine I don't remember how long it's been selling in Europe but it has been one of those top sales tractors and it looks very European the size of of the machine uh the fit and finish it's very European tractor um this tractor is made in October dorf Germany um but uh this tractor just recently came to North America to be sold in North America um so this is one of three I believe it's one of three marketing units we don't even own this one it's a marketing unit but but you will have some available July of this year yep absolutely now this machine my understanding is you can expect this out from low to high this is an option monster so like the difference of like what you're looking at in this class of a machine is I'm goingon to say you're going to have in my opinion just knowing the market you're going to have about $20,000 of option swings do you want LED lights do you want a buddy seat you know just different things like that you're talking about a 20 if you're staying in the same horsepower you're talking about a 20 grand swing with a tractor like this I'm saying that you're probably talking about $ 80 to $100,000 swings of what you want to have at Option but to me when you're spending money on something that is going to be used for a specific task I want to build it to what I want it built for just like a house you know there's people who go and buy spec houses all the time and that's typically what this tractor is right here a lot tractor that has all the bells and whistles somebody's going to come in says that's perfect house for me I don't want to wait for it but with fent we can actually custom order these tractors if you want I don't know if you have leather seat options in this tractor not in this one bigger ones you know like this one has glad hands for air brakes you could hook up a semi-trailer to the back of this thing and no other tractor in this size category can do that right that I would say probably pretty confident no other tractor has it from the factory that you could do that so glad hands air brakes tow semi-trailer out of the field with it down the road with brakes on it okay go on keep going don't let me stop you oh wait there's more yeah um and then outside of that I mean like I said just the the ability to put a a factory front threep Point that's actually truthfully coming from the factory most other brands are using what's called a zuder and then I can't think of the other one out there um so they would be Aftermarket accessories that you would have to go and add after the fact so they're they're not 100% fit and finished the way that this one would be designed into this model um which for like you you could put a snowblower on this uh with the PTO on the front of it um be able to do a bunch of different options obviously loader options um one of the loader options with fent which is really cool if you're looking at like uh the Feed Market um or if you're you're specifically trying to get a certain weight consistently out of this bucket um you have the ability to be able to have a proy plus loader uh which is going to allow you to be able to weight scale this loader so you can scoop up uh you know let's say feed with it you can know exactly how much feed you have in this bucket you can you have a scale in the you can have a scale in the front of the loader absolutely yep um just like payloader absolutely I mean off camera before this video started I looked at this and I drove it around with John and I'm like why would anybody want a cat payloader after running one of these especially if you own acreage or a farm just forget it this is your machine if you plow this is your machine uh I just uh unreal okay but let's let's talk about do we cover all the details yet well we haven't got inside the cab but you know some of the other things that are cool features and I know other smaller tractors have it um but it allows us feel to to start the uh PTO um drop the Hydraulics down or drop the uh three-point arms down and it also allows us to set a priority on one of the hydraulic levers so like let's say uh and I'm going to keep using a snowblower we got a rear snowblower on this if we want to have the ability because we're trying to check it over we're greasing it we would be able to move that hydraulic and be able to move that Chute right from this position which is really nice as far as maintenance why going what if I want a fent tractor because of the holy crap warranty holy cow warranty that we're going to talk about in a minute but I don't want that I don't want to pay for that and that's the beauty of it like I said it it you can peace meal this and order it specific for you if you don't want the loader you don't want the front threep Point um if you don't want to have all the hydraulic valves on the back of this if you don't want to have the glad hands for air um all of those things you don't have to have um and we can take those things off when you get into the interior of this cab I will say that this is probably the nicest interior on a class machine like this tell them tell them about the warranty let's just lay it out all right so so fent has what's considered a gold star warranty okay so that gold star warranty is going to be 3year 3,000 hour warranty this tractor has that but that to me that's not unique the unique part part about it is the first service is going to be 50 hours that's already prepaid for with the purchase of this tractor the next 3,000 hours which would be 500 hour increments for 3 years is going to be covered under warranty on this tractor but I know the part that you want me to get to is this is not a dealership responsibility this is an egg Co responsibility egg Co owns fent owns Massie Ferguson bunch of other brands however the best part about this is there's a 48 hour window this tractor breaks down we have 48 hours to either fix it or replace it um and that would be on your job site and and actually I always like telling the stories that we've had here John and I last year had a uh a tractor that was going out on demo we were going to take it to a stand the dirt monkey and we were going to demo that tractor for him we got a phone call from AO that said hey Cory that tractor's got to go to Illinois today they literally had a truck here in 2 hours that tractor got loaded up onto that truck and it went to go support that gold star warranty um so a guy breaks down and it wasn't even our customer it was completely out of our area they're going to grab whatever's available say it's simple so these guys understand it guy breaks down egg Co within 48 hours will have them their tractor their tractor either fixed and back in their shop or their field or they will deliver a different tractor of the equal size or better yep within 48 hours so a guy is never out more than 48 hours which obviously with things going on 48 hours is still a long time but it's piece of Mind are you joking are you joking some of these dealers are keeping people hanging weeks not even I mean I I've I've heard horror stories about guys being broke down on a brand new piece of equipment or a semi- used piece of equipment and they can't even get back out into the operation y so to to know that no matter what for 48 hours you are going to be back in operation as peace of mind and you know the other cool thing too is like if you love that idea that comes Factory the 3 years comes Factory you can extend that out to 5 5,000 that comes with a price but you could extend that same exact gold star feeling out for 5 years if you'd like huh well everybody's different are you an extended warranty guy or are you a Bare Bones warranty Guy I learned long ago I'm an extended warranty guys the bebs warranty ain't too bad though on this situation no in this situation it's good but uh let's go inside because it gets better I'll swap with John now okay I did the hard part John we got John now so John what are we looking at in here buddy now let's take a look at all of the controls so it gets to looks a little bit like I'm flying the millennial Falcon okay you got a lot of controls here and my first impression is this is a great owner operator machine right this is if you are an owner operator and this is going to be your baby and you're going to hop in you're going to program your Tunes in this is going to be one of those machines where it does everything for you but John you made a really good point about this machine as we look at this um things are really fairly easy everything orange is has to do with transmission everything blue is hydraulic anything white is preprogram pre-programmable buttons so let's actually we'll start here so this is a pre-programmed setting today so we're just going to tap on fent so it loads everything that we there we go now fan speeds off okay so this is going to be real similar to a a f we have hydraulic settings here right now we have guidance if we want to see more things we can swipe the screen so this is like our front three-point hitch rear three-point hitch if we want to select a PTO uh for running 540 in the rear it's just like that what I guess to me the easiest part about this whole thing and what makes it a fent a fent is the CDT transmission so we no longer have to concentrate on engine RPMs we just got to concentrate on driving it not hitting stuff not hitting stuff okay that's that's the kind of machine I like when I put a operator in it so what you were saying now a hydraulic control you can adjust the speed of the hydraulic control if you want a fast or slower you can just you can fine-tune everything from bucket tilt to the up and down cylinders like right now uh we're going to we let's just show you we're going to slow down the curl of the bucket so right here we can just slow down the curl of the bucket now I can't even curl the bucket right so I've disabled it now when we want to speed the curl of the bucket back up there we go boom we're back to our Factory back here yep right there now it's going to slow down and speed up now let's let's do the up down so guys can watch this go up and down so here we're at standard we'll slow way way down so if we get a new guy in here we don't want now I'm going the same I'm pulling the same as I am now this that's not unique to any tractors but boy it's sure nice to have that capability but also we have the tip the the Tilt we're not cowboying so let's go up and down let's go up and down and watch this here real quick we're going to bounce up and down and you watch John and I we're we're not doing the hery jerky right we're not bouncing I don't know how many times I've driven a skid loader all day long and got out and felt like I was in a 12 rounds with with Mike Tyson just because of the jarring on my back so as I'm going up and down the machine has taking everything out for us if we want it to do that if we don't want it to do it we can make an adjustment on the right up front and have that taken out correct the reason why we're not getting Herky jerky is because we have suspension on the loader we also have suspens on that front axle so between both of them together uh we'll take the perking brake off and now we can hit forward and way we go so now you can go 28 M an hour with this machine you're not going to go 28 M an hour in a loader that's why I said earlier why would you want why would you buy a loader if you have acreage and you snow uh plow snow for a living this is going to be your machine you're not going to buy a loader you're going to need this because you're going to work it in the summertime you're going to work it in the winter time and right now we're going 12 M hour but we're talking without I mean it's just as quiet as a church mouse in here you're looking down at my butt what are you guys looking at that's just weird you guys pay attention pay attention oh it's my my uh it's not the machine it's my grabber for my camera is not working right okay so what I was saying is we're going let's let's let's Jack her up a little bit here [Music] so this is the true CVT transmission so there is no gear shifting in this transmission so as we go forward and back it's going to be seamless and smooth so you're never going to feel it shift also the transition between forward and reverse is uh very smooth and you can actually control the rate at which you Accelerate from forward and back you can set your maximum speed your minimum speeds you can control everything what if that guy's going to look up when he's driving he didn't yeah thank you were doing 13 mph and we blew right by him he almost hit one of the only three of these in the in North America without even knowing it all right let's Mount the camera in a little different spot so guys can get a different perspective as we're driving around here okay so we're going to throttle down a bit now and just let these guys listen and block you so one thing you'll notice is we're not using uh engine throttle okay what are you talking about this has a an engine management system so as it needs more horsepower we are th the tractors is actually increasing engine RPM automatic as we slow down and we need less uh Power our engine RPMs will actually drop so there's no longer having to worry about which gear we're in or how many engine RPMs I need to run you don't worry about anything that's all just controlled by the tractor itself you get in and drive it like you're driving a pickup truck so when it needs more power it's going to increase engine RPM when it needs less power it's going to decrease engine RPM the one thing you'll see is when uh fuel savings because of that so we're no longer running this engine at a high engine RPM all day long anybody that wants uh guidance this tractor does have guidance in it we could set an AB line in this and run auto steer um that's one thing probably not too many people are doing plowing snow but think about that you could set up a parking lot with an AV line and then run auto guide back and forth um you got some curbs that you don't want to hit we can actually set it up so we wouldn't even hit the curvs oh wow a few things to think about that maybe normally you're not thinking about and that comes with uh a tractor like this so This I mean to me if you're an owner operator this would be the if and I was going to buy one machine this would be it I would I mean without a doubt this is legitimately the best tractor I've ever been in in my life it gives you so many options of what you can do and how you can spec it to um a certain customer you know we can like Cory talked about before we can add $80,000 of options or we can save you $80,000 by um you know eliminating the screen here eliminating um certain things in this tractor so this tractor like you said was brought to us by fent marketing it's to highlight a lot of the options that are available on this tractor um so that's why you're kind of seeing what you're seeing here all right we out we'll turn her off all right Cory you'll take five one at least I love this thing um but if guys want more information they want to T touch base with you on it I mean can you can you first off just give me two things one how guys reach you and what would be a price range on a piece of equipment like this so price price range on a piece of equipment like this uh is a little just because like I said the options that we have to build them the option we have go down on I'm going to say 100 on the low end up to potentially 200 on the high end so that's what I'm saying on the low end this is going to replace the lower for me it's replacing a loader I mean I bought my Sledge for $64,000 brand new in the box M and that's a cheap chinesium loader it's been great but the value is not there fent's got a name that's established your market value is never going to go down on a fence I mean come on man fence's going to hold the value and it's not the price you pay for a piece of equipment is…
