Fendt – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the Farmer and Favorit types of the LS and LSA era (308 LSA, 312 LSA) through the narrow-track 200 V/F/P to the Vario generations 300

This page gathers the Fendt tractors the register could not assign to a named range – the brand from Marktoberdorf in the Allgäu that began in 1930 with the Dieselross, presented with the Vario in 1995 the first production-ready stepless transmission in farm machinery and has belonged to AGCO since 1997. The type logic: the Farmer and Favorit ranges of the 1970s to 1990s give the range and size in the three-digit number (Farmer 308 as a 300, Favorit 612 as a 600), LS, LSA and Turbomatik the equipment, cab and turbo-clutch drive; since 1995 all tractors are called Vario, with the first digit as range (200 to 1000) and the following ones as power step – 312 Vario about 120 hp, 724 Vario about 240 hp, 1050 Vario about 500 hp – the suffixes V, F and P mark the narrow-track models of the 200s for vineyard, orchard and plantation, Gen3 to Gen7 the generations, Profi and Power the equipment lines. The engines came from MWM and Deutz in the old, Sisu and AGCO Power in the medium and MAN in the big 900 and 1000 ranges.

The register lists here 204 versions with 3 to 368 kW from one- to six-cylinders of 308 to 12,419 cm³, PTO outputs from 106 to 300 hp on the recorded big tractors, torque from 204 to 2,400 Nm, unladen weights from 510 to 23,000 kg, lengths from 2,750 to 6,157 mm and widths from 1,073 to 3,000 mm.

Fendt is the premium brand of European farm machinery with the highest resale value and Germany's market leader for years; the 1050 Vario is the most powerful standard wheeled tractor, the 200 V the best-selling vineyard tractor.

On used tractors, operating hours, Vario transmission (oil history, calibration), engine and exhaust aftertreatment, front-axle and cab suspension, electronics and terminal, on the LS and LSA types turbo clutch and gearbox count; parts run through the AGCO network.

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.
  • 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.
