PRACTICAL TEST: Originally introduced in Challenger clothing in 2015, the Rogator trailed sprayer had a change of identity two years later, donning the familiar Fendt green and red. We’ve been operating the 5,500-litre 355 model

Visually, the test sprayer in its ‘nature green’ livery with shiny aluminium boom and modern design certainly looks the part. But you need to see beyond the styling and the name to judge its in-field performance.

Fendt sprayers originally came out of AgChem’s plant in Grubbenvorst, the Netherlands, as a Challenger product. Today, production has switched across to Germany, where the trailed sprayers are built at the same Fendt factory in Hohenmölsen in Saxony-Anhalt as the firm’s
Katana foragers and the Rogator 600 selfpropelled sprayers. There are three models in the Rogator 300 range, with capacities of 4,400, 5,500 and 6,600 litres and booms spanning 24m to 36m.
