High purchase price does not indicate better quality in anything, often just a badge adds to the price, and badges dont do anything.

My mechanic is fixing a 300 hp fent with loss of drive and blue plastic bits in oil filter.

Just like Cat.. Probably the toughest machine in the world now spoilt by cheaper components getting fitted to increase profit margin. It's probably an alloy rad which on the old ones was copper and saw the machine out.. Hopefully no major bits go wrong but the little bits are just so annoying.

We have a 2020 model and it’s required a service vehicle to follow it around, it’s had over a dozen visits in its first 750 hours. Local contractors purchased two 700s, one been great, the other has broken down every time it leaves the yard, both will have been made on the same production time similar time.

Done 300 hours with our used one since January and no problems so far.

. Done 1800 hours now .

Do know of 2 new ones that were returned due to constant problems. So do seem to get bad eggs.

Surely Agco fixed all of that under warranty? What is the rest of the story?

Was once round Fendt factory and their visitor place there was a brand new 900 dripping oil

A concerning development. I assume twin beacons still add horsepower and schoffels still increase top speed, or is everything we thought to be true a lie?

Welderloon · Mar 3, 2024

Blimey, have they stopped generating diesel as well?

My neighbour hasn’t had much luck with Fendt’s. First issue was a 724 that had a front axle issue at 100hrs. He battled for weeks to get that done on warranty. Then at 1500hrs the gearbox had to be replaced. It had an ongoing power issue where it dynoed at 190hp. He got rid at 2500hrs at a £42,000 depreciation cost back to the fendt dealer. He then had a 828 on a year hire and its engine blew up mid hire after 500 hrs.
He went to Ford and hasn’t looked back since.
