Crowds packed around the new high-powered Fendt 1050 tractor during Fendt Day at Wadenbrunn in central Germany. Getting all that power to the ground and keeping it in a 60 inch axle spacing means this nearly 12 foot tall tractor needed some big rubber. That comes in the form of 900/60 R46 tires on the back and 700/60 R45 tires on the front. For heavy tilling, the machine can handle triples when it is required. It weighs in at 31,000 pounds dressed as it is shown here. | Michael Raine photo
