Fendt 826 year 2011... what's people's thoughts, views, on the tractors... good bad and ugly...?

Not had a 826 but have had a couple of 828 on demo and found them a bit heavy for there power and noisy in the cab we like a 724 better

Bit of a pointless series either go for a 724 or 930 both are still very light for the power compared to the competition

They seem cheaper than say 724 with higher hours. So got me thinking.

A few 828’s round here have had more problems than 700’s and 900’s, mostly engine problems although one bust it’s front axle recently but it has a hard life on a 7f fully mounted plough.
As has been said, you’d be better with a 930 if you need the size or a 724 if you don’t.

They're not as desirable as 700 or 900 series, that's the main reason. It's too much of a inbetweener in my opinion, no real use for the weight at that horsepower.

I would think if you could get one for similar money to a 724 and you don’t mind a little extra weight it would be a very good tractor for you. They are just a little like a sheep in wolves clothing!

Cheers for the replies... A 724 would be my choice but was just wondering as for a little hp more the tractor seems a lot cheaper than a 724 with more hours. Good to hear the opinions though as there's not many Fendt in the area.

Good tractor, better cab than 700, and a lot more nimble than a 900. As you’d expect slots in between the two ranges perfectly.

65kph also a factor... above a 724 55kph ...... Always thought they'd suit a decent size slurry tanker....bit extra speed and weight

Leave room for engine rebuild/replacement costs on the purchase price if you are not getting any powertrain warranty
Otherwise great tractors.

Some of those big tri-axle tankers you see on the continent I'd sooner be in an 800 series than a 700 series so as to be more of the boss of it.

I had a 2012 822 which I ran to 2900 hrs and swapped to a 927. The 822 was a very nice tractor. Maybe slightly underpowered but did everything I needed. 927 does the same work just does it a bit easier.
biggest issue I had with it was the adblu pump which once replaced wasn’t an issue dealer had same issue with the other 822 they sold. I’d think adblu pumps should be sorted by now. Other issue was an oil cooler with filled the coolant system with oil.
I’d have another one if could find a second hand one at right money.

One of the locals here had the first 800 sold by our dealer TNS an 826, the driver was a nutter used the 65kmh top speed whenever he could...………...I think he knackered it out after 18 months as they chopped it in for a 724.
