Maintenance Monday: How to Run Your Fendt Gen6 in Stationary Mode
Harvest season is in full swing here in Southern Alberta, and that means augers are running, grain is moving, and your equipment needs to be dialed in to work as efficiently as possible. In this week’s Maintenance Monday, Shane walks us through a handy feature on the Fendt Gen6 tractor: how to run it in stationary mode — including how to operate the PTO from the fender.
Whether you’re at the bin yard or transferring grain on the go, this is one tip that’ll save you time and make harvest just a bit smoother.
🔧 What is Stationary Mode?
Stationary mode on a Fendt Gen6 allows the tractor to stay parked while running key functions — like the Power Take-Off (PTO) — without needing anyone in the cab.
This is especially useful when you’re:
- Running augers
- Powering grain vacs
- Operating any other stationary implement during harvest
With stationary mode enabled, you can safely run your equipment from outside the tractor — all while saving fuel and avoiding unnecessary engine wear.
🧠 Why This Matters
Time is everything during harvest. The fewer steps it takes to get your equipment running, the faster you can move grain and keep things flowing. Being able to run your PTO directly from the fender without needing to sit in the cab streamlines the process — and keeps your team moving efficiently.
It’s small tips like this that add up over the course of a long harvest.
