Are you the editor of nasher quarterly magazine ??I bought a Fendt Vario Trans cheap out of the local paper.
The bloke had 3 in his kitchen. I Only wanted one. £300 quid new to go in the 684 Nasher
No...... I don't do that one...Are you the editor of nasher quarterly magazine ??
A saying about a fool and his money comes to mind....It's more to do with the way the agricultural industry is heading

Edit, it’s a 2013 machineI actually glanced at a 2012 724 today in a yard. It’s for sale with 8500hrs on it. Very tidy and relatively well cared looking. Didn’t get a price yet but wasn’t really in the market.
Would it be a very risky buy? I don’t know much about the reliability of the 2012 era 724’s.
Have a fairly new 516 but a few more horses for ploughing could be handy.
I,personally, wouldn't look at any tractor of any make with those hours.I would rather buy a tractor ,of any make,with much lower hours even if I had to use some finance.Fendt,imo,are incredibly dear with high hours and the varios can go wrong with all makes.Just my opinion.Edit, it’s a 2013 machine
To be honest they are the hours at which we have traditionally traded in tractors. We have a 516 (2k hours) and thought about this as a ploughing tractor (perhaps pulling the odd trailer) to take the pressure off the 516.I,personally, wouldn't look at any tractor of any make with those hours.I would rather buy a tractor ,of any make,with much lower hours even if I had to use some finance.Fendt,imo,are incredibly dear with high hours and the varios can go wrong with all makes.Just my opinion.
Tin hat !!
Jury’s out, but 2 out of the 3 might be true!So is this thread about chicken feed, fendit vario cost. Or wether a Welshman's local farmers contractor is telling the truth?
I may have interpreted this wrongly but it is not a great endorsement of the 516 if you are looking to take the pressure off it after only 2k hours.To be honest they are the hours at which we have traditionally traded in tractors.

No, to be fair I didn’t explain my situation well so I wouldn’t blame you. The 516 is coupled to a 5 furrow plough (20” sods) plus 1.5tn press. I’d like to get up to 7.5kph to achieve the required output. We’re a one tractor farm (250ac) with the 516 being ideal for all other tasks. Part time farming too which makes time more valuable. The 516 isn’t under huge pressure as such.I may have interpreted this wrongly but it is not a great endorsement of the 516 if you are looking to take the pressure off it after only 2k hours.
Have looked at that, big cost to do it. I’m just weighing up options. A second tractor would be handy at times and the depreciation on a used one should be lower. If a breakdown were to occur, either tractor could take over.Why not trade the 516 for a new higher HP Fendt?
Can $50,000 on a 250 odd horsepower Fundt allegedly.....I wouldn't disbelieve the transmission cost ,,didn't somebody on here pay the same for an engine rebuild/replacement
