Fendt TS 80 Backhoe

[Mursal]

Anyone any experience of the above 80hp Deutz engined loader with back actor and ZF transmission, apparently? We never came across one before and wondered if they were common in other areas? Any information would be much appreciated.

 

[Lincsman]

Looks home made to me.

Looks home made to me.

I don't think it is!

Have a Google

Wouldnt put my name to it, the single thickness metal on the lower bucket pins will bend at the first push, the solid rods to the front bucket are way too thin, most tractor loaders of whatever vintage look the part more than this. The backhoe seems to have all the wrong geometry.

Remember seeing one in a field in Co Wicklow about 10 years ago , maybe its the same one.
Don't know of any in this area though.

Can you tell that from the picture or have you used one? I know nowt about them.
I wonder what year was it made.
I suppose every rose must have a thorn.

I believe around 1980 -1985 and yes @oakleaf its probably the same one. Its in Co Meath at the minute. Have a shifty on Donedeal ............

With a done deal price to match?

 

[Mursal]

Yes, just a bit steep, but thought I was missing something, so said I'd better ask .........

Don't know anything about them, bit of a collectors item

 

[oakleaf]

Having had Fendts since 1986 ,I might have had an interest in this but at that price I wouldnt even bother phoning. If it was nearer to me I'd go for a look just for curiosity.
Without viewing I would value it at €7000 to €7500 tops. Not saying I'd buy it at that price though.
A bit surprised this thread didnt attract a few more replies. Must be that one is the only one in the UK and Ireland?

 

[Mursal]

Yeas I agree, We thought half of what was asked and it would be worth a look?
Sometimes having the only one, isn't all that great ............

 

[mar]

I know of one, I never saw or heard of them before, the guy that owns it was telling me about it.

 

[Mursal]

Its not the same one by any chance?

 

[mar]

Its not the same one by any chance?

I don't know, It was January when he was telling me about it, I didn't see it, it could be possible he sold it as it would be surplus to requirements, it's located in the North West

 

[Mursal]

This one is in Meath did you see it on Donedeal?
I'll give you the link, if needed?


(PS I was afraid all the other lads would take it out from under me, so didn't include the link )

 

[8100]

Has it got Zettelmeyer pedigree do you think ?

 

[Mursal]

Not sure of the parents to be honest @8100 .............

@mar Could you find out if the other one is still available, as this one is in the same family for 10 years .......
But dont go to any trouble, if you just happen to be talking to the owner ..........

Are you looking for one to buy, I don't know when I could be talking to him next.

 

[Mursal]

Well .........................


No rush, just say it to him in passing when you next see him. Don't let on you have a punter, in case he gets all excited and nothing comes of it.
