The Fendt Farmer 1 carries a two-cylinder diesel engine with 1,700 cm³ of displacement, producing 25 hp, or 18.3 kW, at 2,000 rpm, and was water- or air-cooled depending on the version. At 1,445 kg, 2,945 mm long, 1,590 mm high, 1,575 mm wide and with a 1,810 mm wheelbase, the machine reaches a top speed of 20 km/h.
At 18.3 kW and just under 1,450 kg, the Farmer 1 was a light all-purpose tractor for smaller farms that did not need a large, heavy tractor for field work, haulage and yard tasks. The 20 km/h design top speed falls under German driving licence class L.
When buying such an old two-cylinder tractor used, the condition of the cooling system matters, whether water- or air-cooled, along with the condition of the injection pump. Also worth checking are rust on the frame and mudguards, the function of the mechanical brakes, and the condition of the tyres, as spare parts for tractors of this age are often available only used. On such an old vehicle, the condition of the lighting system and the wear of the clutch and steering linkage are also worth checking closely.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
