Busch 54150 H0 Agricultural vehicle Fendt F 15

High to Ross! In 1930, the Hermann and Xaver Fendt brothers constructed the first 6 hp diesel choke tractor under the guidance of the father Johann Georg Fendt in Kempten in Bavaria. In 1937, their company was registered in the commercial register. Because the company placed the highest value on quality, sales success was not long awaited.

In 1949, the F15 model was released, which was fitted with a water-cooled single cylinder diesel engine from MWM. The tractor also had a ZF transmission with four forward and one reverse gear. One year later, the revised version F15G was launched. New to this was the transmission developed by Fendt on its own, which could be fitted with a 8 forward and 2 reverse gear, instead of the previous 4 forward and one reverse gear. In addition, the front axle has been reinforced and the front wheel hubs have been sealed dust-proof.

The round hood shape, which was implemented with the introduction of the F15, was maintained until the end of the production of the diesel rowers in 1958. During the construction period from 1949 to 1957 15,071 diesel rowers were sold. In 1997, the family-owned company was acquired by the American company AGCO, which renamed AGCO GmbH in 2009. The Fendt brand has still been retained and is the driving force behind the company as a premium brand. Within a short time after the acquisition, the product division was supplemented with forage harvesters, combines, hay changers, mowers, swaders and balers.
