Interesting the Fendt guy says it's to replace 800 series @Richard Smyth
The outgoing 800 yes it does. Doesn’t mean they won’t introduce a beefier one in future.

the 700 gen 6 is being phased out too but you don’t believe that either.

either or don’t bother me really as the 900 series is much better for the jobs we need them to do

Fully loaded there around £280k its been widely reported several times.
They wont sell many id say no matter how good they are.
Put it this way a 828 man who ran several of them on his contracting business cant make them pay so has switched brands i hear.
I know of four 728’s around here already, all with vario grip and replacing 8 or 9 series tractors.
I’ve seen one of them with less than 90hrs on and the tyres are shredded 😳

I think the vario grip adds £20 odd K mind even so there £50k more before that over a decent specced 305hp Valtra Q series surely.
I know there not the same tractor but one deffo wont do anything the other wont & for that kind of difference.
Dunno what the new Puma 260 is priced at. looks the part tho.

The 939 I have coming was considerably less for variogrip.
