Duluth, Georgia – AGCO Corporation., an agricultural machinery company, drew attention at the U.S. Capitol from August 3 to 8 with a one-of-a-kind golden Fendt 1167 Vario MT track tractor. The special edition tractor was unveiled as part of the Great American Farmers Market 2025, a national celebration of food, family, and farming.
The tractor, built in Jackson, Minnesota, features a full gold exterior, patriotic window wrap, and the message “We Support American Farmers.” It highlights Fendt’s ongoing commitment to U.S. growers, reinforced through its Gold Star Customer Care program, which includes a three-year full warranty with maintenance and inspections on every Fendt product.
Mr. Mike Long, Vice President of Fendt North America, said, “Fendt is proud to stand with American farmers. This golden tractor is a tribute to their resilience, innovation, and the vital role they play in feeding the world.”
The golden tractor has already received signatures from several officials, beginning with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins earlier this year at the Commodity Classic in Denver. Additional dignitaries added their names during the Capitol event.
After its Washington showcase, the tractor will return to the Fendt Lodge in Jackson, Minnesota, before traveling to the Farm Progress Show in Illinois later this month to continue honoring American farmers.
