on a 728 a 8000 hour warranty will be around the 30 k markBut i was meaning what hp of fendt is the big warranty costing 30k? Each range bound to be differently priced

Have you much of a play with your 724? Hows first impressions?I just bought 2k hours 2 years warranty for a 724 and it cost around £8k. That's to take it from 4-6k hours.
Yeah, done a bit of ploughing with 6f and had it on muck spreader. Impressed with it so far. Plenty power in a compact package. Was a bit concerned about lack of physical presence compared to other tractors of similar hp, but hasn't failed to do anything I've asked of it so far.Have you much of a play with your 724?

Did you buy time or hoursI just bought 2k hours 2 years warranty for a 724 and it cost around £8k. That's to take it from 4-6k hours.
Is that warranty and all the servicing required for 8000hrs for £30k or just warranty?on a 728 a 8000 hour warranty will be around the 30 k mark
Both. It had 4k hours warranty till July 25 when we bought it. Extended it to 6k hours July 27.Did you buy time or hours
Or both together
Warranty onlyIs that warranty and all the servicing required for 8000hrs for £30k or just warranty?
Would £2 per service hr cover everything , meaning would a 1000hr service be around the £2k mark?Warranty only
Given your experience of running Fendts would you purchase that warranty or stick the £30k aside in a bank account to cover any potential repairs?Warranty only
That picture was of a prototype posted on an Italian forum in October '22Pretty sure I’ve put that bottom picture on here before. No one believed me tho
Would £2 per service hr cover everything , meaning would a 1000hr service be around the £2k mark?
Yeah, and would that 500, hr be, £1000 , trying to get my head round the indirect cost involved in keeping the warranty alive, we would normally do standard warranty and in house services after that.But to get to the 1000 hour service you also need to include the 500hr

Its only got one beacon how will it cope! no serioulsy looks the job. wise move with the warranty you just never know.Yeah, done a bit of ploughing with 6f and had it on muck spreader.

With oil etc all included probably more like £2.50 per hour , as there are a lot of things changed on a fendt at a 1000 hours service not done on other makesWould £2 per service hr cover everything , meaning would a 1000hr service be around the £2k mark?
that is a good question on the 700's probably not needed , but on the other hand 30k will not go far if it was a major problem, ours have had warranty to 7/8000 hours 2 are out side of warranty now & we will see how we get on , but i do know we have never lost a days work with Fendt were the MF's every time they left the yard the phone would go this not working , that is not working , I have this Error code & the running cost were way be on 30 k for 8000 hours.Given your experience of running Fendts would you purchase that warranty or stick the £30k aside in a bank account to cover any potential repairs?
what sort of jobs do you need it for? would 240k be nearer the mark?I had this arrive just before christmas and so far so good. Comfort is far better than the 724 I had previous. 130 hours on the clock already and Feels very lively. Getting used to the new screens is taking me more time. Mine was basically full spec minus vario grip as it isn’t something I don’t require but was no where near the 280k stated but I had ordered it in october 2022.

surely if fendts are so well built as they claim they should be able to throw in the extra waranty for less than that, much lessI can confirm no further warranty on a massey beyond 5yr old & 6000 hr
Fendt was currently 8 yr & 8000 hr unless thats changed since ?
Mind to typically put a Fendt to that is a £30k charge.
