It's like the New Holland vs Case . Now they are exactly the same tractors mechanically a few differences in layout and controls but nothing serious.I`mboredcurious so,, Fendt, MF, Valtra...............all the same tractor are they not? so why the difference in breakdowns ect.?
Same dealer or different?
It's not easy to compare Fendt with others. Their horsepower is what it is but most others have some sort of boost. eg JD 6r 185 has boost on pto/hydraulic/roadspeed to maybe 220. Fendt 724 is 240 or 718 is 180. So, in theory you need Fendt 724 to match power of JD 185. Am I completely wrong on this ?
It is hard to match ‘like for like’ going off the numbers on the bonet but if you peel the stickers off the side and compare genuine HP for HP it’s much easier.It's not easy to compare Fendt with others.

Which puts the Fendt 724 £35k+ more than JD. Fendt sales appear to agree with my analysis. OR I could buy Case and 'save' £50k over Fendt.
Guess that was the Q. What is genuine hp? I know they don't quote the boosted hp as the 'real' hp but then they couldn't claim boost if it's not there? It used to be just on pto and roadwork, now on hydraulic requirement too on JD - don't know what others state. BUT Fendt, I'm told, will soon enter the boosted market. Hmm.It is hard to match ‘like for like’ going off the numbers on the bonet but if you peel the stickers off the side and compare genuine HP for HP it’s much easier.
I am nor your financial advisor or wish to be. You do you boo
Actually some don't break down. We've got 10,000 hours plus on five different makes of tractor and no major breakdowns.
Some would say yes,
Nah he’s wise and drives a NH
was it not under warranty for the first 5000 hours 2 of the valtra tractors for sale local at 5 years old both about the 5000 hour both with new gearboxes in them & both for under 60k
My tractor had a 5000 hr warranty but it never had a claim . Unlike your fendt that needed a new engine.
No, you must be mistaken,
somebody must`ve put a Valtra badge on a pair of NH...How to ruin a NH in one easy moveNo, you must be mistaken,
Which one of my fendts had a new engine ?
I do know since our dealer got valtra to sell they have never done as many gearbox repairs they thought Mf were poor but the valtra gearbox is just a nightmare , a circlip breaks & its a 20 to 30k job to sort it outNo, you must be mistaken,
Now that just isn’t true, it’s a well known fact that the inferior case models are turned out in undercoat and the better versions have a nice coat of blue paint applied before been sent to the dealers.
To be far with few 700's in the fleet, I am not sure if you need a long warranty , yes its nice to have , but 700's are not much trouble , on ours we have had the odd spool valve , add blue fault, air con & cab blower fault & thats about it , taking a standard warranty will make it good bit cheaper, maybe as much as 30 odd K less money
