Introduction
Fendt 1159 MT Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Fendt 1159 MT is a high-horsepower crawler tractor, manufactured by Fendt as part of the AGCO group. Introduced in 2017, this machine belongs to the heavy-duty segment of agricultural equipment, specifically engineered for intensive traction work and field operations requiring maximum soil flotation and grip.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an AGCO Power 16.8-liter V12 turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers a rated power of 540.4 hp (403.0 kW) at 2100 RPM, with a maximum gross power output of 583.3 hp (435.0 kW). The engine produces a peak torque of 1917.7 lb-ft (2600.4 Nm) at 1500 RPM, providing the high lugging capability necessary for heavy tillage and large-scale implement operation.
Transmission and Drive
Power is transferred to the ground via a Caterpillar TA22 full power shift transmission, offering 16 forward and 4 reverse gears. This system allows for on-the-go shifting without interrupting power delivery, which is essential for maintaining consistent speed under load. The machine utilizes a crawler drive system featuring 27.5-inch tracks, providing a wide footprint for reduced ground pressure.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, pressure-flow-compensated type, operating at a pressure of 2901 psi (200 bar). The standard pump flow is 59.2 gpm (224.1 lpm), with an optional capacity of up to 84.8 gpm (321.0 lpm). The rear hitch is a category IV/III configuration, capable of lifting up to 30,865 lbs (14,000 kg), allowing for the use of heavy-duty implements.
Conclusion
With an operating weight of 42,692 lbs (19,365 kg) and a specialized track drive system, the Fendt 1159 MT is designed for large-scale agricultural enterprises and professional farming operations that require significant tractive effort and high-capacity hydraulic performance.
