Fendt 1050 long term

[Will7]

Has anyone got any long term experience of a Fendt 1050? It will be pulling a 5m low disturbance subsoiler and a 12m drill. It might be a suitable compromise between the 2 operations as a twin track would be better on the subsoiler but I really don’t like them on a drill. I am looking at 3500-5000hr tractors

Many Thanks

A couple around here with a good few hours on now. Been very reliable.
It’s funny because I was looking at the one McLean’s have on their website last night trying to justify it but it would have to go on the hedge cutter so I kept scrolling

I’m sure if you put it on the post knocker too, you could justify it!

Sure you could find a bit of hay bobbing for it too.

Have 3 currently and a 1038, one at 5500 hrs another at 4700, been very good tractors.
Did lose rear diff in one at 5k hrs; bolts worked loose, extended warranty covered the repair
Otherwise been very good, they like adblu.

Thank you. Are you doing heavy cultivation’s with them? A bit of luck with the warranty!

Local farm run 2, both 6 years old with around 8k hours on. They are planning to run them for another 3-4 years before changing them, no rea issues to report
Personally I’d look at a 942, every time I’ve demod a 1050 and 1042 they seem to struggle to put the power down and there doesn’t seem a massive benefit over the 900’s in my experience.
If I was wanting pto power on a big Bedtiller or chipper then a 1050 would be a better choice

That is very helpful thank you.
