Fendt Vin to Win: AGRITECHNICA SPECIAL
31st January 2024
More than 470,000 visitors from 149 countries will remember AGRITECHNICA 2023 for a long time to come. But one visitor and Fendt fan will never forget the experience, and not just because of the biggest Fendt AGRITECHNICA stand of all time. Malte Lehmann (18), a young farmer from Rosenfeld in Baden Wuerttemberg in south-west Germany, is the lucky winner of the Vin to Win ‘AGRITECHNICA SPECIAL’ trade fair sweepstake and received the main prize – a fully equipped Fendt tool trolley with a unique "Leaders drive Fendt" design.
There were over 7,000 participants who, like Malte, either registered prior to the show online at fendt.com and verified their participation at AGRITECHNICA or registered at the show itself. A winner was drawn randomly and contacted by email. Malte could hardly believe his luck.
Malte is currently doing an apprenticeship as a farmer on the organic farm Hof Russ in Lottstetten (Baden Wuerttemberg). At our collective lunch, Malte told us that in his early youth, he regularly helped on the farm of a close family friend in Rosenfeld. It was there that he encountered Fendt tractors for the first time at an early age, which reinforced his career aspirations of becoming a farmer. Now Malte has his first Fendt... even if only a Fendt tool trolley. It’s a very special one nonetheless, with a unique design and Fendt VIN-plate.
The handover was attended by Malte's parents and his younger brother. Mr. Lehnert from our supplier, Lehnert Tools GmbH, was also at the handover, and has been involved in the competition from the start.
After the tool trolley was rolled out of the van, the keys were officially handed over by Sebastian Ewe, Brand Lead Fendt, Global Parts, who then showed Malte some of the trolley’s unique details, such as the "Leaders drive Fendt" branding on the back, the Fendt VIN-plate with chassis number F00001 and the Black-Edition design with Nature Green elements. Malte looked drawer by drawer at the high-quality tools put together by Lehnert Tools in close cooperation with Fendt's technical specialists.
Many thanks to everybody who came to see us at AGRITECHNICA. Keep an eye out for future competitions, and we look forward to seeing you next time!
