Ulrich Stemmer manages the company Mochauer Landwirtschafts GmbH in Präbschütz near Chemnitz. On 1,200 hectares, the Augsburger native cultivates wheat, corn, winter barley and rapeseed. "We cultivate our areas each season with 2 workers and 2 helping hands during harvest, so we need reliable and effective technology. That is why we are interested in a Fendt IDEAL 9T. The Fendt IDEAL 9T sets new standards among large combines in terms of grain quality, straw quality and also user-friendliness," says Ulrich Stemmer. "Our machines have to take some of the work off our hands because we work with few personnel. That's where the reversing fan of the Fendt IDEAL is simply very practical, because the machine cleans itself". This eliminates the need for daily cleaning and blowing out the cooler. As farm manager Ulrich Stemmer himself also sits on the combine and openly admits: "Driving and operating comfort are of course decisive for me because after all this makes long working days easier".

"Our farm is located in the Lommatzscher Pflege, also known as the granary of Saxony, with very high soil quality and good yields, but we often have to harvest when the grain is already ripe but the straw is still green and the soil is wet," says Stemmer, explaining the threshing conditions. The track drive is another important factor.

The weight of a machine in this performance class must be distributed as gently as possible on the ground, and the track system's oscillating design means that the combine runs much more smoothly, as each roller adapts precisely to the ground. In addition, the large combine can also drive on the road without additional special approval due to its outer width with 750-belts and still offers a particularly large contact area.
