The Fendt Farmer 308 LSA is a four-cylinder four-wheel-drive tractor from Fendt's Farmer line. At Fendt the letters LSA denote the version with a driven front axle; the model was meant as a compact all-wheel-drive machine for farms with slopes and grassland.
The engine displaces 4,154 cm³ and produces torque of 275 Nm. For a tractor of this size that is a strong figure, and the four-wheel drive uses it well on a hillside and on a wet meadow. The 14V/4R gearbox grades speed finely and allows even work with mower, rake and loader wagon. The tank holds 108 l, the Category II linkage takes the usual implements, and the PTO runs at either 540 or 1000 rpm. The wheelbase of 2,280 mm makes the tractor short and agile in the yard and at the headland.
In the Fendt range the Farmer 308 LSA belongs to the compact mid-range and suits forage work and loader jobs in hilly terrain. Contractors also used it for mowing and baling on steep fields.
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.
