Predictika · Fendt 700 and 900 Vario Gen7 tractors
An AI sales agent prepares a quote for a Fendt 700 or 900 Vario Gen7 tractor: tyres, front linkage, front weights, implements, guidance, speed version, delivery date and discount. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which works out the axle loads and the price, checks the total and front axle load the agent states against its own, and returns a verdict, every reason and, for a quote that can proceed, the line-item quote itself.
This validator models Fendt 700 and 900 Vario Gen7 series tractor quotes, including the ballast and axle-load calculation — not other AGCO brands or other tractor series. It handles any case involving these tractors, not just the scenarios shown on this page.
Within the Fendt 700 and 900 Vario Gen7 series, any tractor model, tyre set, ballast and implement combination these rules can produce is in scope. It does not cover other Fendt series or other AGCO brands such as Massey Ferguson and Valtra. Weights, axle limits, lead times, discount limits and prices are illustrative values.

What this means
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same kinds of case. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.
| What the validator caught | Typical rules-based CPQ | Predictika |
|---|---|---|
| Front axle load from tractor weight, ballast and implements | Only with workarounds Needs a lever-arm calculation: each weight acts through the wheelbase on both axles, so one front weight raises the front load and lowers the rear load. Doable only with chained formulas and custom code, and fragile when any input changes. | Computed from the model and checked against the 25 percent minimum and the axle and tyre limits on every call. |
| A heavier rear implement quietly starving the front axle | Only with workarounds The 25 percent rule depends on the other loads, so no single product rule can express it; it is usually left to the dealer. | The front share is computed from all three weights together and blocks the quote when it falls short. |
| Tyres for the wrong tractor series | Easy A straightforward product rule once the series is a field on both the tractor and the tyre set. | Same, from the catalog. |
| Delivery date against factory lead time | Only with care A lead-time lookup per model plus an add-on for guidance options. Works, but each new option that moves the lead time needs its own rule. | Lead time is computed from the model and compared with the need-by date on every call. |
| Discount above a limit, and above the rep limit but within the dealer maximum | Only with care A validation rule and an approval rule. Reliable only if both limits are kept in step. | Block and approval are separate outcomes of the same check; one answer carries both. |
| A quote that states a total or axle load different from what the build gives | Only with care A validation rule can compare a stated figure with a calculated field, but only if the stated figure is a field on the quote, which it rarely is. | The stated figures travel with the quote and are compared with the computed ones on every call. |
| Every problem returned in one answer | Only with workarounds Rules tend to fire as the quote is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next. | All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in. |
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.
| 1 | Block: the front axle would carry 1341.7 kg of 9800 kg total weight, 13.7 percent; at least 25 percent is needed for steering and braking (add front weights or reduce the rear implement). |
| 2 | Block: tyre set 650/65R34 + 710/75R42 is made for 900 series tractors; the Fendt 724 Vario Gen7 is a 700 series tractor. |
| 3 | Block: delivery takes about 24 weeks; the customer needs the tractor in 12 weeks. |
| 4 | Block: discount of 15 percent is above the 12 percent dealer maximum. |
| 5 | Approval: discount of 8 percent is above the 5 percent a sales rep may give alone; sales manager approval needed. |
| 6 | Block: stated total does not match: the agent stated $450,000.00; the validator computes $457,200.00. |
| 7 | Approval: trade-in allowance of $200,000.00 is over 40 percent of the net price of $457,200.00; used-equipment manager approval needed. |
| 8 | Block: front weights or a front implement need a front linkage; none is selected. |
| 9 | Block: front weights and a front implement cannot both use the front linkage; choose one. |
| 10 | Block: tyre set VF480/80R42 + VF520/85R46 row crop is rated to 50 km/h but the tractor is ordered as the 60 km/h version. |
| 11 | Block: the front axle would carry 3097.1 kg of 14600 kg total weight, 21.2 percent; at least 25 percent is needed for steering and braking (add front weights or reduce the rear implement). |
| 12 | Block: rear axle load of 11502.9 kg is above the 9000 kg limit of the rear axle and tyres. |
| 13 | Block: total weight of 14600 kg is above the permissible 14000 kg. |
| 14 | Block: front axle load of 13706.9 kg is above the 7800 kg limit of the front axle and tyres. |
| 15 | Block: front implement of 6000 kg is above the 3500 kg lift of the selected front linkage. |
| 16 | Block: section Control needs Fendt Guide; no guidance system is selected. |
