Are you absolutely sure that your trailer brakes are biting quickly enough?we do a lot of road work and this particular tractor has spent most of it life carting corn and compost 7500hrs (rears) seems fairly reasonable to me, I've run tractors in the past that have done less
Everything here working hard has one of these, keeping it old school.I rebuild turbos and it's the heat that kills a turbo when you stop it , the exhaust wheel will be very hot after an engine has been pulling maybe 500°c+
When you let it idle it cools down to 100-150°c .
If you kill the engine while it's hot the heat travels along the turbo shaft boiling the oil on it and it starts to deposit carbon and can block the oil ways and drain oil ways and then the turbo fails
So the idle time is a cool down time for the turbo .
Who else apart from me bothers to run a turbo down before stopping an engine?
makes me cringe when other folks pull up and just switch off!
we’ve never fitted a replacement turbo,
One for a 936 was £1800 last year.not sure at this point, will find out more tomorrow
a complete turbo from Fendt is £2800 - which sounds very expensive to me when all that is wrong is a weepy oil seal !
Had a quick look at the Fendt specs, it's a Deutz common rail engine with a Borg Warner turbo, probably too new, and not common enough yet for the aftermarket suppliers to produce. But if you can find a cartridge or chra? Think is the term, for your application, car ones etc can be found for less than £200@john432 mabe would be fit to source a new part
Have a look on eBay, turbocharger chra , cartridge,for Isuzu, turn up from £49 .Turbo gone on my isuzu pickup. Main dealer wanting Just short of 4k to put it right. Told them not to bother.
Phoned a Turbo specialist and apparently they are a unique turbo. 5/6 weeks to get one.
Hoping i can find a 2nd hand one.

Reading this thread there is no wonder farming and machinery is in the state it’s in. There is a turbo oil seal going in a tractor that is probably less than half way through its viable working life and people advise to change it!! Others say £2800 for a turbo is small change!! No wonder tractors cost £150k for a average one nowadays!! Save your self £80k and take the turbo to a reconditioners they’ll have it like new and if your selling the fendt at 10,000 hours people will not give a jot if it’s full dealer history or not as they’ll be doing all their own maintence themselves. Sounds like there is a bunch of townsmen working in farming these days!!
Already tried them. Pickup might end up there yet.Try Thornton breakers
It will still be a boatload cheaper for a genuine borg warner from a turbo supplier than in a fendt box. Fuel pump was leaking on our valtra £2400 in a valtra box,£1100 in a bosch box,£140 refurbishedHad a quick look at the Fendt specs, it's a Deutz common rail engine with a Borg Warner turbo, probably too new, and not common enough yet for the aftermarket suppliers to produce.

yes, tested every year on a VOSA HGV MOT center and adjusted accordingly. regularly maintained m,modern Stewart trailer on-air / ABS - 7500hrs isn't bad IMO for bakes on a machine doing a lot of higher speed road work
