New Fendt 942

[bluegreen]

This arrived at Thurlow Nunns last week and WOW...………….I kind of admired the various generations of 900 series Fendts but wasn't overly impressed by their appearance...…….until now! The 942 looks bigger than the current 900s and to be honest not much smaller than the 1000 series, but somehow they appear proportionate and not as lumbering as a 1050. But it is as big as an JD8370R and unfortunately for the "not so jolly green giant" this awesome

Fendt tractor is going to take even more JD customers away from them!!

Looks superb from the rear as well with the lovely rear green fenders sweeping down, much nicer than the current models bland grey versions. Roof line and lights are all different from the current model and all look more stylish.

Theres a new 939 old style model sat just to its left for size comparison. And thankfully the Fendt engineers haven't gone and ruined the appearance by giving it a high front windscreen like on that 724 sat next to it...………………..should have been a loader option only.

How many tons of barley for that?

And heres the new 8R in prototype form...…………………..hideous!!

We paid 205 last year for a high spec 939 last year so that’s reasonable I feel for extra tech in there for an arable farm gearbox wise etc.

In 2016 I paid £136,500 for a brand new 936 s4 with front pto and reverse drive, 2018 I bought an ex demo 936 with a few hundred hours, variogrip, front pto ect ect for £157,500..... how on earth does that new technology justify an extra £65000?

 

[Deerefarmer]

Like the engineering in these new generation 900s, we are supposed to be getting a demo sometime in September. Quite looking forward to it

 

[bluegreen]

One of the local farms who run three 936s are about to change two of them post harvest for the last of the old shape models...………….cheapskates LOL.

How on earth can any one justify paying over 200,000 for an engine,gearbox and four wheels? Obviously no money in farming

It depends what you trade in for it

For £220,00 and so say new model,I do hope the cab designers have taken care of the posts made in “cab storage” thread .

I’d expect at least three bedrooms and a lawn for that much.

I would want a driveway and a garage as well.

Any good on a Haybob though !!

 

[Deutzdx3]

Does look nice that’s for sure. Rather buy a couple of houses instead of a couple of tractors though. ‍

You can sleep in your tractor...but you can't plough with your house!
