The Seed of Innovation: 1930s
In the early 1930s, when the world was grappling with economic hardship, a visionary named Johann Georg Fendt sowed the seeds of innovation in a small Bavarian workshop. His creation, the Fendt Dieselross, was more than just a tractor; it was a lifeline for farmers. Introduced in 1937, the Dieselross (which translates to “Diesel Horse”) was a lightweight, affordable tractor that revolutionized farming by replacing the labor-intensive methods of the past. With its reliable diesel engine and practical design, the Dieselross quickly became a symbol of hope and efficiency for the agricultural community.
