Fendt Farmer 200 series – 1980s range with vineyard and four-wheel-drive versions: three- to four-cylinder diesels, 36.6 to 55 kW, V, S and A variants

The Farmer 200 series emerged in the 1980s and, with the 203, 250, 260 and 275 types, spanned a wide range within one series. The letter V marks the narrow-track vineyard version, S the standard-track version, and the appended A suffix the four-wheel-drive variant.

The register lists here four versions with 36.6 to 55 kW (50 to 75 hp) from three- to four-cylinder engines of 2,826 to 4,086 cm3 displacement. Unladen weight ranges from 1,625 to 2,680 kg, overall length from 2,780 to 3,646 mm. Width stretches from 920 mm on the narrow vineyard version to 1,880 mm on the standard version, and height from 1,280 to 2,320 mm. Torque ranges from 176 to 265 Nm at a rated speed of 2,300 to 2,400 rpm.

With parallel standard and vineyard versions, the Farmer 200 series covered both classic arable farms and specialist viticulture in narrow vine rows, a modular principle typical of Fendt built on shared drivetrain technology and adapted track width.

On a used purchase, the vineyard versions in particular call for checking the frame and axles for distortion from steep-slope work; on all versions, the clutch, gearbox, tightness of the hydraulics and lift linkage, and rust on the frame and mudguards should be checked. Spare parts are still supplied by the Fendt/AGCO network and by specialist viticultural-machinery dealers for the V versions.

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.
