2025 Fendt Slicer 860 RC

The Slicer mower combinations with centre suspension produce the right number of cuts with a focus on high forage quality and achieving the largest areas under the toughest conditions. In the tight harvesting windows, aspects of work efficiency, reliability and comfort that save time and resources are equally crucial. Because good fodder must also be harvested economically.

With a total of 16 different models, Fendt offers an enormous variety of rear mower combinations. Starting from the light models for smaller operations to the highly technical models with the most innovative DLG award-winning technology for contracting and larger operations.

The new Slicer 860/960 mower combinations are among the lightest in their class and are available with and without tine/roller conditioners. The compact and light-weight butterfly mowers combine profitable work and innovation with proven features such as the powerful TurboLift relief technology. The imaginative design concept, innovative cutter bar technology and numerous comfort details underline the user-friendliness and performance of this mower range.

In this series of lightweight slicer mower combinations, the advantages of the weight-optimised construction with the most modern Fendt drive technology, high power and efficiency are combined. The efficient power transfer of the drive concept enables fuel-saving mowing with a reduced speed of 850 rpm and also the use of tractors with lower HP numbers.

Features may include:

• The low pivot point of the lifting arms result in a low centre of gravity for the mower and thus ensure greater transport safety. Despite a working width of 9.60 m, the mower units remain below the legally permissible transport height of 4.00 metres.

• The towed mower units are suspended centrally in the centre of gravity. This ensures excellent trailing, optimal ground tracking and prevents the cutter bar getting stuck in the ground. In combination with the curved-form extension arm, the mowing units achieve a pendulum travel of +30° to -19° and effects the compensation of unevenness and height differences. The integrated compensation cylinder prevents rocking on the headland.

• The mower combinations 860, 860 KC, 860 RC and 960 models are equipped with comfortable mechanical and light collision protection. The mower is deflected upwards to the rear and flies over the obstacle (approx. 9° to the rear, approx. 400 mm upwards). The pivot point is located in the middle of the mower combination and the mowing unit folds back into the working position by itself. This provides effective protection against damage caused by objects being hit.

• Changeable weather often leaves narrow time windows for mowing, so areas must be harvested ever more quickly and efficiently. These butterfly mower units place a strong focus on technological innovations to enable more efficient harvesting, homogeneous forage and higher output, so that farms can achieve their harvesting targets.
