Fendt Favorit 500 – tractors from Marktoberdorf of the 1970s to 1990s, models 509 C to 515 C, four- to six-cylinder diesel engines, 69.5 to 110 kW, 4,970 to 5,540 kg unladen weight

The Fendt Favorit 500 is a tractor range that Fendt built between the 1970s and 1990s in Marktoberdorf; it comprises the 509 C, 510 C, 511 C, 514 C and 515 C models, all with diesel engines. The type numbers from 509 to 515 order the models by power class. It was the bread-and-butter tractor in the mid power segment for many arable farms of the 1970s and 1980s.

The register lists 5 versions with 69.5 to 110 kW (95 to 150 hp) from four- to six-cylinder engines of 4,156 to 6,234 cm³, unladen weights of 4,970 to 5,540 kg, lengths of 4,180 to 4,480 mm, widths of 2,140 to 2,440 mm, heights of 2,795 to 2,855 mm and torque of 381 to 574 Nm at 2,300 rpm.

The Favorit 500 occupied Fendt's mid-to-upper power segment for arable farms of its era and, alongside the larger Favorit ranges, formed a core part of Fendt's line-up; the range competed with comparable tractors from Deutz, Fiat and John Deere. Characteristic of this generation is the absence of electronic vehicle control in favour of purely mechanical and hydraulic operating elements.

On a used Favorit 500, check the clutch, gearbox and hydraulic pump, and rust on the cab, fenders and frame; on older model years, check the injection pump and cylinder head gasket, along with wear on the front axle bushings, with parts available through specialist Fendt parts dealers.

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.
