high houred fendt

[oli]

Am i mad looking at buying a fendt 936 with just over 10k hours on the clock as opposed to say a newholland t8 with same hours?

To be fair around us rickerbys claas have really looked after us over the years and claas have payed up for problems when the tractor has had 5k hours on it I do wonder weather a 3800 xerion is worth a seri

We look at a few xerions a few years ago & they were Ok but no were close to a 939 for power or for wheel grip & we bought a 939 it has over 7500 hours on it now trouble free

Didn't realise the old ones had man engines in them I think very highly of man engines in wagons anyway

Old 936 never had man engines. They maxed at 930 pre 2007

How come the claas couldn't put the power down I though with correct ballast ect they would be a good machine? Think there about 12 tonne and with the right tyres ect

you learn some thing every day , I thought all the 900's had a Man engine until about 2009

No sure why , we found they had more grip in parallel tracking but the machine needs to be pull from the draw for that to work

Basically when they went to the newer cab like yours they went deutz engines. 7.1 litre back then. Smaller ones had been deutz for quite some time.
I do like the man in my gen 6 936. Just needs adblu turned off

That's what I am worried about, I was originally looking at newholand t8050's as they seem pretty bomb proof maybe before this came out but there's none about anywhere, the only fendts I can find are over in Germany or France ect I would be very worried about importing for language barrier ect and end up buying a lemon is there such a thing as cheap hp at about 350 hp lol?

There is cheaper, but whatever you do don't buy Massey 87 series or valtra s.
These are the same tractor and my Massey is the worst tractor I've ever had, always broken.
My friend s series valtra was even worse.
Gearbox issues electronical issues, a new front diff, rear diff problems, water pump, cab mounting issues.
And the dangerous one of occasionally not stopping no matter what you do.
Apart from turning the key.
Massey can not find the problem.
Fendt back end but probably a Massey software issue.

Funny you say that, I do hear of a lot of masses problems now compared to the fendts and I had a valtra on demo it was a smaller one to be fair but extremely unimpressed especially the computer side which is advertised "as easy to use as an iphone" it's so dated and ridiculously over complicated

If you have an 8m carrier then I would have thought a tracked machine might be worth a shout

Did the older style 714 give many problems, one in local to me looks top nick.

Read my earlier post about a 716. Condition and how it’s been driven/looked after most important. Find out if and when the gearbox was done. Electrics are fairly reliable but I have had to change a whole armrest. If the rubber fuel lines are perished it can be a sod to get going.

Looks lovely example, I have one fendt only clocking 300-400hours a year can't warrant a second!

this machine is just down the road from me I see ot.about all the time maybe a bit.too big though..

 

[alomy75]

personally, if I was to buy a high hour FWA linkage tractor in the 250 hp range, my only choice would be a Genesis, a Case 7140 or a JD 8400. All bullet proof tractors that will easily run to over 10,000 hrs here without needing a great deal of love or attention


or a Cat 55 ( basically a Genesis on tracks & a Cat engine ) if I wanted tracks

Love it. A challenger 55 is an 8970 on tracks . They share a cab and a gearbox/back-end. I’d agree with the jd and the case but this side of the pond the 70 series are quite rare now…they weren’t without their issues…probably too many big ploughs being hung off them. Challenger 35 or 45 the ones to have; get a good one for 25k. But nowhere near your 350hp. You’d have to go to a 75/85/95 flat track which aren’t as handy. Same money though and probably more reliable. Older quadtrac getting cheap now if you have nice big fields/sheds.

You said you want to be on top of the job ?? Looks like cheap power to me

Looks very tidy, would still want to be certain of the repairs done on it.
I couldn’t spend that much money on a 20 year old tractor, to do regular work.
