Fendt 515C

[Wessland]

A Fendt 515C with 13000 hours, refurbished engine at 11000 hours. Should i check it out or not? Only intend to use it 100-200 hours a year or so.

I'd go look at it. I have a DVD of a contractor from Luxembourg, J Reiff and they operate older fendts like this until high hours, they have atleast one 515c, think it has 13000 hours on it. Well the DVD was filmed in 2013 so things have maybe changed

There was a nice one for sale on bon coin last week,30,000e 4500 hrs looked very tidy

The price on this one is 24 999€, in Sweden (where I live I might have to say too ).

that makes the 4500hr one look like good value! Obviously the loader is worth money too but i dont see front links, i tbought they usually have these?

lovely tractors though.

I do belive the price is a bit over the top, the tractor has been for sale a long time now. The loader is a late addition to the tractor, don't know about the front links, I would like to have those.

Tried to find the advert but it has gone,

Some of the most reliable tractors ever made. I know one with over 35000 hours on it.

Hours would never put me off one of these, just make sure all the electrics work including rear linkage
Front linkage was an option, a genuine linkage would also come with loader brackets built in to its frame.

Pto, 4 Wd, diff engagement and front linkage too
They gave head gasket problems but seemingly a washer under injector solves that

They might have a great reputation but 25k euros is absurd for a 150 hp tractor and loader getting on 20 years with 13,000 hrs, even with a rebuilt engine.

I kind of agree with you, there is a 2004 Fendt 716 Vario for sale at almost the same price nearby.

The way I see it is if you do have a repair bill you have to be prepared for fendt price bills too. ie premium product = premium repair bills if needed. You may find that ok you may not

Fendt parts are fairly reasonable compared with other makes its the Deutz engine parts that can be a bit pricey.
Parts for the 500 range are cheaper still.
