Fendts second hand vs new

[disco200]

Currently looking at tractors around 280 to 300 horsepower in order to take some work load off our challenger being able to handle a 6m press , 5 leg subsoiler , 6m horsch drill, 7 furrow mounted plough and sometimes have a go on the cultivator. Obviously I'm not expecting it to do the job as well as the the cat but just be capable , had a demo of an 828 which seemed to handle everything reasonably well although as I'm sure most of you are well aware the price is bloody scary would I be better off listening to the salesman and taking the "helpful" finance option on a new one and have all the benefits of a new tractor or be better off buying a low hour higher horsepower 936 with 3 years warranty what in people's opinion is the best option or should I just forget about a fendt and buy a deere

If you can get a 3 year warranty on low houred 936 for same money I would buy it. Just buy the fendt. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

you feel like you get more bang for your buck second hand although its the big lump of cash all in one go thats the painful part of second hand fendts

Secondhand 936. Better front axle, bigger engine bigger gearbox. Would be alot better on your plough.

Buy new

Used Fendts are way too expensive (which is the bedstead on to buy a new one !)

Did you not just buy a secondhand one?

No, have never bought a used Fendt, they are silly money used (I'm happy to say!)

Have 2x 724 both bought new and used to have a 939 (sold)

Price up a fendt 936 new, sure the salesman will help you!

I like your thinking Rob although considering the rough price of the new 828 I hate to think what a brand new 936 would be he's going to have to be very helpful !
