Fendt Farmer – Base Name Spanning Several Decades, 1963 Into the 2000s: two- to four-cylinder diesels with 18.3 to 82 kW, 1,700 to 4,314 cm³ displacement, air- and water-cooled
Fendt used the name Farmer as a base designation for tractors across several decades, documented in the register from the 1Z in 1963 to Farmer models from 2009. Output of the recorded models ranges from 18.3 to 82 kW, using two- to four-cylinder engines with displacement from 1,700 to 4,314 cm³.

Recorded operating weight runs from 1,500 to 4,850 kg, wheelbase from 1,775 to 2,333 mm, and top speed of the listed models spans 19.6 to 40 km/h. This wide spread reflects the fact that both early post-war models and modern cabbed tractors with higher travel speeds carried the Farmer name.
At Fendt, the Farmer name consistently denoted the mid power class between the more compact models and the large Favorit tractors. For a used Farmer tractor, the exact generation matters most, as technology and equipment changed fundamentally over this long span.
The two-speed PTO with 540 and 1,000 rpm only became widespread in Europe from the 1970s; early 1960s Farmer models therefore usually had only the single-speed 540 rpm PTO, while later model years offered both speeds. The three-point hitch matched category I at the lower end of the power range and already category II under ISO 730 at the upper end above 55 kW. The exact category therefore follows from the model year rather than the power rating alone, since Fendt introduced the change model by model.

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.
