Fendt Optimum

A Clean-Sheet Design
The Optimum is Fendt’s first stack-fold planter, engineered from the ground up rather than adapted from an existing frame.

Five Configurations, 12 or 16 Rows
From the 30-inch FTPS12-30 up to the 16-row FTPS16-30, growers can match row spacing and count to their exact operation.

Built for Ridge-Till and Bedded Fields
Designed specifically for cotton, corn, sorghum, and soybeans, the Optimum is purpose-built for ridge-tilled, laser-leveled fields without headlands.

Immediate-Turn Adaptability
Because bedded irrigation demands tight, immediate turning, the Optimum’s frame and hitch are engineered to keep up with that pace.

Flexes at Four Points
The stack-fold toolbar flexes at four different points to follow ground contours instead of fighting them.

Wing Downforce Standard on Every Model
As a result, all row units stay properly weighted and in the ground across the full width of the machine.

Consistent Planting Depth
Because downforce and flex work together, seed goes in at a uniform depth from row to row.

Optional Vertical Contouring Hitch
For even more terrain-following capability, the hitch option moves the toolbar up and down and tilts it forward and back.

vSet2® Meters With vDrive®
Electrically driven vSet2 meters singulate seed independently row by row, rather than relying on one shared drive line.

DeltaForce® Hydraulic Downforce
On top of the standard wing downforce, DeltaForce adjusts each row unit’s down-pressure automatically as soil conditions change.

FurrowForce® and Reveal® Residue Managers
Together, these systems clear residue and firm the furrow wall so seed makes solid, consistent seed-to-soil contact.

SpeedTubes® Seed Delivery
Even at higher planting speeds, SpeedTubes keep seed spacing accurate instead of letting it bounce or tumble on the way down.

55-Bushel Center Fill Station
The Center Fill Station option holds 55 bushels of seed, so growers can cover more acres between refills.

Or Individual Row-Unit Hoppers
For operations that prefer it, row-unit seed hoppers are also available in place of the center-fill tank.

Less Downtime During Planting
Either way, fewer stops to refill mean more hours actually spent in the ground during a tight planting window.

Configured to Match the Operation
Because both options are available across the lineup, growers can choose the setup that fits how they already run their planting season.

Standard on Every Configuration
The Precision 20|20 Gen3 monitor comes standard equipment across the full Optimum lineup.

Real-Time Row-by-Row Visibility
From the cab, operators can see population, downforce, and singulation performance as they plant.

Catch Problems Before They Cost Yield
Because issues show up in real time, operators can adjust settings before a bad run turns into a bad stand.

One Display, Full Machine Control
In short, the monitor ties metering, downforce, and row unit performance together in one place.

Purpose-Built for Cotton, Corn, Sorghum, and Soybeans
Unlike a general-purpose planter, the Optimum is engineered specifically around these four crops and their planting demands.

Row Spacing From 30 to 40 Inches
That range covers the spacing most common across cotton and row-crop operations in ridge-till country.

Engineered for Precision Seed Placement
As Fendt puts it, the Optimum is built “to deliver unmatched seed placement and agronomic performance at the highest level.”

A New Option for Delta and Southwest Growers
Stack-fold planters like the Optimum are especially popular across the Mississippi Delta, Oklahoma, Texas, and pockets of Nebraska.
