Will you want to try it ?

I’ve asked for a price to change

 

[Ducati899]

That list price?

Wouldn’t of thought so

 

[its.... only me]

That list price?

No. That was the “discounted” price.... but considering this is considerably more than double what I paid 5 years ago for a demo 7726 it “extinguished my desire to swop” extremely quickly

 

[Speedstar]

depends how you see it really ! one make with a pretty much bullet proof engine or the deemed must have with a poorer engine

the 700 fendt have very few engine problems most are on a 828

Probably meant the capability differences. Deutz isn't a bad engine, Sisu is just better.

 

[ollie989898]

Sooner have a Valtra myself. At least with that you can have a CVT AND the Sisu engine.

Makes you wonder why they don't put the Sisu in the smaller Fendts actually.

Only second hand info...but i was chatting to a chap from a large contractor firm whilst working on a job out of my normal area, and he said they were having plenty of engine problems on 700 series Fendts. One of the fleet was on its third engine by 4000 hours for example and others were troublesome.
They kept buying multiples of them though.

They probably think it's a sign of weakness if they don't buy a Fendt

Probably still dwelling on what fendts used too be... fendts used too be worth more because they’d run too 20,000 relatively trouble free... now they break just the same as any other tractor

 

[daveydiesel1]

Was talkin to a well known man that hires out tractors and he said he hires out different brands and the best was fendt,second best was massey, third was john deere and deutz forth best. He said nh was the worst. Not my words btw before i get shot

They always have done. They used ZF components back in the day, as did many others. They were one of the first with electronic linkage control and it uses the same components exactly as my Same, made by Bosch.
Marketing and myth are responsible for their reputation more than experience in the field. Anything mechanical or electrical has a finite life and some components will inevitably break down when worked hard. Perhaps they put a bit more effort into assembling things properly than other brands but accessibility to service and especially repair is no better and indeed considerably worse than for some other brands and models.

 

[Wellytrack]

know of one out & about 265 hp cost 115k not sure on spec or any thing, we had a price for one & it was more money than a fendt the same size

In fairness a discounted price for a completely new model range will always be higher than for an existing newer version of an old tractor range

 

[snipe]

That list price?

No. That what you will pay.

Sounds like a fastrac

did well if you got a 7726 for 65k five years ago. You will get more than that for it now if it’s not high hours.
