Fendt 714

[BredRedHfd]

Friend has a Fendt 714 to sell. 2 owner, 13000 hours, 2001. Absolutely immaculate, never a problem. Still in original half worn tyres. Arable work only. Would anyone have a rough idea of value for private sale?

Original vario too?

£25k ? Dealers would lift your mates leg by offering 12 to 15, giving him the blah blah about it having high hours, perished tyres etc. Then stick it on their “mantlepiece” at £28k

 

[BredRedHfd]

Thanks for the replies.
Yes, original vario. Never had any faults afaik.
Unmolested too, never had a magic spanner on the engine...

I’m now expecting you to stick a post on at lunchtime saying that you are the proud owner of a peachy Fendt 714!!

 

[Wellytrack]

I'm sure it's a lovely tractor, certainly wouldn't let the hours put me off, but I would caution you to be mindful that the transmission is a potential liability in the near future.

All transmissions wear, but not all cost 10k to replace, so I would bare that in mind when you make an offer.

Well, a fly in the ointment is that he's not sure he wants to part with it, and considering the possibility of selling his JD 6910 instead, which has 6k hours on. Discuss...

Nice tractor but no TMS on a 2001 714.

I suppose its worth mid 20's but bear in mind the tyres will be past their best.

Yes the pre tms models will have less of an appeal in general so l would value it in early 20's. lt may be a peach of a Fendt but its still 20 years old, 13 thou on the clock and on original vario and perished tyres.

Tyres are excellent, as they weren't on most of the time on it's first farm. Mainly row crops for potato planting...
A dilemma with age. Yes, no tls, bit one less thing to go wrong. And no adblue...anyone know when hat came in on Fendts?

I think your right early 20's would be more like it. I'm not keen on the early favorit 700's. I think the sweet spot was mid 2000's models when they were still teir 2 engines but had tms and a few other goodies.

Ad blue wouldnt of been till early 2010's I think. Teir 3 engines werent introduced until around 2007 so tier 4 a bit after that.

Good tyres is a bonus so.
But the tms is a dealbreaker for me. The pre tms vario was great in its day but once used to tms it would be very hard to do without.(For me anyway)

Its probably worth a good bit more than the Fendt, there are a lot of 10 series Deere fans out there.

 

[BredRedHfd]

Correction on the hours. It's 11300. Only done 1300 in the last 9 years..
Agree on the Deere. It will need new back tyres though...
Other dilemma. At least with the Deere anyone can jump on and give a hand. Not quite so with the Fendt...

It just goes to show, if you look after those vario,s there bullet proof, I would buy it to put on my straw blower, i find my mccormick to fast in low box, a vario would be the answer. no tms, would,t bother me to much as long as its not the front line tractor. £22 to £25k would be a fare price, there,s 15,000 hrs left in the old bus yet.

Does have tms and can suspension I am informed..

 

[Wellytrack]

Your excited!

You be having it sprayed red yet

I dont think you know what tms is and are getting it confused with tls on a jd.

Tms has nothing to do with axel suspension. All 714's will have front axel suspension and cab suspension.

Tms is tractor management system and works inconjunction with the engine and vario gearbox. A 2001 714 will not have tms as it was not introduced until 2004.

Not for me...I'm happy staying red...
