The Special Refurb by Fendt: The big reveal - what will the winner think?
11th July 2023
It’s time for Alexis Neveu, winner of the #VINtoWin competition to be reunited with his 720 Vario – as the team of experts in Germany nears the end of the complete overhaul in the Special Refurb by Fendt.
Cameras in the workshop have captured the entire refurb journey - which has seen some nerve-wracking and challenging moments, as well as some great examples of how teamwork and partner collaboration can achieve magical results. Subscribe and watch all the videos to see just how they did it.
The power of partnership
The whole project has been a labour of love by the entire Fendt team. The team has been carefully chosen for the task and made up of lifelong technical experts and new, young trainees. They have collaborated with industry partners, MICHELIN and Lehnert Tools.
After weeks of hard work, the result means our winner will have a more efficient and intelligent, powerful, and productive machine. And the Fendt experts can’t wait to hand it over and see what Alexis thinks.
Watch the video to see the final touches being made with the newly painted Vario 720 being polished to perfection in readiness for the handover. Find out how the team is feeling ahead of the big reveal to our winner.
Machine of Dreams
From the start, the 28-year-old farmer from rural France has been having a hard time believing he won the first prize winner in such a well-supported, Europe-wide competition. It’s only as he sets off to collect his prize that it finally sinks in - what a difference this refurbished Vario 720 will make to his daily life on that farm.
Alexis will not only have a tractor which has been taken back to factory condition, but one which has been customised to meet his exact needs. An upgraded machine which will transform life on the farm which he runs with his father.
