Day 8 of the #FendtHarvestTour brings us to Schmidt Farms in Kewanee, Iowa, where Mike and Rodney Schmidt put the #Fendt IDEAL combine to the test across their farm.
From steep hills and dry conditions to testing capacity and reliability, the IDEAL handled it all — smooth, powerful, and easy to operate. Both Mike and Rodney were impressed with the joystick steering, visibility, and quiet ride.
And yes, even Cheeto the dog stopped by for his annual visit to see what all the buzz was about. 🐾
