Comfortable. Easy. Intuitive.
Wish you had more energy after a long day operating the tractor?
The Fendt ErgoSteer joystick is designed to help!
Long hours at the wheel of a tractor can cause neck and shoulder pain, resulting in feeling fatigued. Fendt’s new retrofittable joystick allows you to sit comfortably in a relaxed position while steering and maneuvering your tractor-reducing fatigue that is caused by strain.
The joystick is mounted on the adjustable armrest, making it easy for you to adapt your work environment to your desired comfort level.
The “plug and play” type joystick not only improves operator comfort, but is also very user-friendly; even for occasional drivers. Maintaining straight lines requires little effort as the self-centering action will gently nudge the tractor and return it to the desired direction when the operator wishes to do so.
Loader work is smooth and efficient while using the joystick. Because responsiveness is better than when using the steering wheel, the tractor is able to perform manoeuvres faster. The sensitivity can be adjusted on the terminal to suit operator preference. This responsiveness also relays back to field and off-farm operations ensuring turning manoeuvres are quick and flawless!
Equipping your tractor with this handy feature takes about 90 minutes with no need for a software update or activation. It is able to retrofit onto any Fendt 500 to 1000 Vario tractor that has Profi+ package and a FendtONE operating system.
Two parts are necessary; you will order the joystick and harnessing then the appropriate armrest module for your tractor. The parts department will determine the correct armrest part based on tractor serial number; so please have this available when you call.

Fendt ErgoSteer FAQs
What does the Fendt ErgoSteer joystick do?
ErgoSteer lets you steer from a joystick mounted on the adjustable armrest, so you can sit in a more relaxed position during long tractor days. The page describes self-centring steering for holding a straight line, responsive manoeuvring during loader work, and sensitivity that can be adjusted on the terminal to suit the operator.
Will ErgoSteer fit my Fendt tractor?
The page says ErgoSteer can be retrofitted to Fendt 500 to 1000 Vario tractors equipped with the Profi+ package and FendtONE operating system. The correct armrest module depends on the individual tractor. Have your tractor’s serial number ready when you contact Hanlon Ag Centre’s parts department so they can determine the appropriate part.
What parts are needed for the ErgoSteer retrofit?
Two parts are required, according to the page: the joystick with its wiring harness, and the appropriate armrest module for your tractor. Hanlon Ag Centre’s parts department uses the tractor serial number to identify the correct armrest part. The page does not list a price; it asks customers to call for pricing or more information.
How long does the ErgoSteer retrofit take?
The page says equipping a compatible tractor with ErgoSteer takes about 90 minutes and does not require a software update or activation. Compatibility and the correct armrest module should be confirmed for your tractor first. The page also includes videos covering the terminal controls and showing ErgoSteer in use.
