Fendt 926 vario

[Mr CVX]

What would one need to look out for on these models?
From 12k hours up

 

[Durt Burd]

What generation?

 

[snarling bee]

For those hours, everything??

 

[Mr CVX]

What generation?

2002 model

 

[icanshootwell]

Service history, hire fleet etc, owner driver.

 

[Timbo]

At those hours, remedial & service work will be needed. Given what it is, it will have been worked hard most of its life.

Buy with your eyes WIDE open.

At the very least i would want the trans health checked (pressures, ECU interrogation etc), and to be able to work the tractor on my land for afew days for issues to come to light before negotiating a deal or otherwise.

 

[Mr CVX]

I'm basically wondering is there a way to check the transmission in the dealers yard

Yes they can do a health check with the diag machine

Exhaust, runs along top of fuel tank rhs front of cab, if leaky or slack it melts the tank and can duly catch fire.

Bare minimum is a new gearbox and engine rebuild. Price them up and knock that off the asking price.

I'd have to ask the dealer to do that so is that fendt only software that can do it

Makes the tractor fairly worthless then doesn't it.
I'd be expecting an engine to last an awful lot more than 13k hours.

what if the seller has already done that.
its not that simple and likely to result in the seller has a machine they will pay to get rid of?

If it is a round nose one (not the later big bonnet when the 930 first came out) they can get hot when worked hard. Hand brake can stick. The Bill Bennet hitches are not great.

What's the lifespan on these transmissions

What's the lifespan on these transmissions

Our 2007 926 had a replacement trans at 6500hrs, it was 2nd hand, we bought it with 5800hrs, our dealer was/is very good and stood on with his 1yr warranty on it.

It was a reverse drive and I think might’ve spent a fair time buck raking, it hadn’t led a quiet life anyway

left us with 10,000hrs and went south where it apparently caught fire hauling straw and burnt out Hence the warning on the exhaust, we had fire blankets wrapped around it as it was known problem.

I wonder what are these transmissions costing to replace?
Is it possible to repair them?
Other than the mentioned how did the tractor perform?
Are they a well capable tractor?

At 12000 hrs it probably have already had both done once and maybe twice

At that time, I think it was a £10k job.

Tractor was fine, plenty power, terrible steering lock, few electric niggles, spools etc. Never touched the engine.

Know a man that has a older 9 series. Tranny went and he fixed it himself and its still goin. He also said theres meant to be some boys in poland that can fix them. Hos injector pump gave bit of trouble aswel but in fairness the driver run her out of diesel shortly before that which probably didnt help. But its a mighty nice tractor to drive
