The Fendt Farmer 104S belongs to Fendt's Farmer line, the series for smaller and mid-sized family farms. It was built from 1972 to 1979 and carries an MWM three-cylinder engine, the kind Fendt often used in the light class.
The three-cylinder runs at a rated 2,300 rpm and produces torque of 208 Nm. That is enough for plough, rotary cultivator and mower without the tractor having the dimensions of a large machine. The 13V/4R gearbox offers many speed steps, so ground speed can be matched finely to mowing, drilling or transport. The top speed is 28.7 km/h. The tank holds 65 l, the Category II linkage takes the usual implements, and the PTO runs at either 540 or 1000 rpm, so older and newer machines can both be driven.
In the Fendt range the Farmer 104S sits in the class below the large Favorit tractors. It was meant for farms that needed a strong yet handy tractor for grassland, root crops and yard work.
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.
- 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.
