Is a Fendt 720 the same as a 724?

[Suckndiesel]

So u telling me that the fendt website has wrong information? Clearly says ml180 box in all from 718 to 724. Not sure on front axel but they sure look the same.

A Fendt salesman and a fendt mechanic both told me recently that 718-724 are the same.

Front axles are different with there rating 716 to 720 are the same 722 & 724 are the same , varios are all different , we have a 720 & 724 in the yard & looking at them you can see they are not the same

no there not the same you can see one has a 0 on each side of bonnet and one has a 4. That's assuming ones not profi and other power

Looked into scr models and found a difference. Might not be the case with new models

When I asked our local mechanic about the difference a while back. He said they were the same apart from the from axle and the gearbox which has hd bearings to cope with the extra torque.

You’d hope they’d put HD bearings in all the models from a top brand!

I doubt fendt buy in lowerquality bearings to fit into the same parts

Given the tractors I see I sometimes think there’s no 2 Fendts with the same specification these days.

@chester if you are looking at new or second hand I would have one more spool than you need so that 1 can permanently be on the pickup hitch ( I have 5 ) the spools with the levers on the side ( can’t remember the fancy name) should be standard they are so much better. Eco seat is most comfortable and I always spend the money on a decent seat. Hydraulic top link makes life easy.

Yep that £200 they saved on bearing well worth it every time

Kind of defeats the point of buying the lower powered model hoping it’ll last longer

Look on the agco parts website, for the latest gen 6 models the front axle and vario are the same part number whether it's a 718 or 724.

That maybe means only the HD components are available as spares.

That Key thing ML180HD says it all for me & iam no Fendt man.

Fendt seem to have really changed the joystick design

Yes, from articles in the farming press

dunno

 

[Deerefarmer]

Know a farmer here with a 724 with latest armrest/joystick and he is really struggling to get used to it....

Personally think it should be optional feature

I've got better upwards visibility
