New style Fendt 900s

[bluegreen]

Are these selling in any numbers yet? Apart from one Demo 942 I photographed in the local dealers yard a year ago I haven't seen any.
Loads of the old shape 936s running round here but they appear to be rather smaller and lighter by comparison than the new machines..

Our neighbour in sunny Suffolk has one. Looks awesome!

We demoed a 933 back late fall, contractor I'm friends with in another state north of me is running 2 of them, so far he is happy

New shape 936 here. Never drove the old ones, all I can say is this one is awesome.

Maybe they are pricing them out of the market.

The thing is next to nobody bought them in the UK before the 716 landed at Smithfield in 1998!! I knew of one chap out near steeple Bumstead, Essex who had an original 818 back in the early 90s and another farm in Feltwell who had an 824 or similar around the same time. Basically big Fendts used to be as rare as hens teeth!!

Back to today, Will some farmers bulk at the extra weight and size of the new 936 for example now their the same size as a JD 8 series?? Will the forthcoming 800s be bigger, maybe nearer the old 900 size...……….maybe a mooted 833 might be the go to for some existing 900 users?

Thing is there still nowhere near the weight of an 8r which sit nearer 14-15t mark which is still nearly 3+t heavier then 11.5t new Fendt 900’s.

I was having a similar conversation with my manager a few weeks ago. The 936 is a perfect allrounder where the 8r is a heavy draught tractor, big heavy and clumsy perfect for lugging where the 936 does some things well and the rest very well

Your neck of the woods maybe, but in this area by 1998 fendts were more commen than JDs, we got our first in 1986, we had 3 by 94.
Still the same today

I agree but i watched the video of this 1 bein restored and it would make ur heart melt. But yes thers 2 many wee lights on her which kinda does spoil it a bit

I’ve got a 936 on order. Supposed to be here in November but I guess Covid19 could throw a spanned in the works.

Only slightly heavier than old one so still a better all rounder than a 8r and can’t bring myself to like the cnh offerings

Im very surprised as the new 900s are way bigger than the old ones. Heres a pic of a new 942 with an older style 939 two machines to the left.

might just be the picture but that doesn’t look much bigger to me. Probably just the larger tyres if anything.

 

[bluegreen]

Well I think the 942s are specced on bigger tyres and the cab sits taller above the bonnet, but regardless its a hell of a tractor. I suspect that our local dealer shifted a lot of the old shape 936/939s within the last 18 months so not many customers looking to change to the new machines just yet.

Doesn't the bonnet on them start quite narrow against the cab but widen significantly toward the nose? Present 900 series isn't so narrow at the waist? Or it an optical illusion.

Looking at that photo, the one on the left is considerably nicer looking in my eyes.
