Rated speed is 2,400 rpm. The machine is 3,626 mm long, 1,710 mm wide and 2,347 mm high. The unladen weight is 2,270 kg. The wheelbase measures 2,078 mm. Ground clearance is 380 mm. Top speed is 25 km/h. The tank holds 65 litres. The engine is water-cooled. Tyres: front 6.00-16, rear 9-36. The fuel is diesel. Construction: unit construction (no separate frame). The gearbox offers 13 forward gears. There are also 4 reverse gears. The linkage is category I. Around 605 units were built. The Farmer 100 series covers 5 models and was built 1972–1985. Rated output within it ranges from 40 to 75 hp; the Farmer 103 sits in the lower part of that range with 48 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the Farmer 102 below it with 40 hp and the Farmer 105 S/SA above it with 60 hp.

Fendt Farmer 102 to 108 – the classic standard-tractor range before Vario: three- and four-cylinders, S and SA as trim variants, 29 to 55 kW, 2.27 to 3.23 t

The Farmer range was Fendt's standard-tractor programme for decades before Vario transmission technology transformed the whole line-up from the 1990s onward; the Farmer 100 series, with the 102 to 108 models, covers the mid power segment for classic arable and grassland farming. The type logic orders the number by power class in ascending order, S on the 105 marking a special or sport version with more power, SA a four-wheel-drive variant of that trim. The engines range from a three-cylinder in the 102 to a four-cylinder in the larger models, all with a classic manual gearbox and mechanical injection typical of Fendt tractors before the Vario era.

The register lists 5 versions with 29.3 to 55 kW from engines of 2,550 to 4,154 cm³, operating weights from 2,270 to 3,225 kg and a linkage lift capacity of up to 3,200 kg; lengths range from 3,625 to 3,900 mm, widths from 1,706 to 2,092 mm and heights from 2,347 to 2,488 mm at rated speeds of 2,175 to 2,400 rpm.

The Farmer 100 tractors represent the solid, mechanically simple Fendt generation before the Vario era and are in demand on the used market among farms looking for a rugged, easily repaired all-rounder without complex electronics.

On used tractors, the condition of clutch and gearbox, leak-free hydraulics and injection pump, rust on panels and mudguards, the condition of the front axle on the SA four-wheel-drive models and parts supply, still working well for the mechanically simple technology through the Fendt network, are what count.

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.
