The Farmer 309 CI is a tractor from the Fendt brand belonging to the long‑standing Farmer series. It is classified in the Tractors group and delivers a power output of 105 hp (76.9 kW). The model is equipped with a 4‑cylinder engine with a displacement of 4 038 cm³ and was produced during the Farmer series production period.
With a rated speed of 2 300 rpm and a maximum torque of 474 Nm, the Farmer 309 CI provides sufficient pulling power for medium field tasks. Its operating weight of 4 220 kg gives stable ground pressure, while the compact dimensions (length 4 000 mm, width 2 140 mm, height 2 710 mm) and a wheelbase of 2 280 mm ensure good maneuverability. The 21‑speed V gearbox with 6 reverse gears and a top speed of 40 km/h enable efficient work and fast transport. The fuel tank holds 108 l and the pump speed of 540 rpm (540E/1000 rpm) completes its operational capabilities.
Within the Farmer series the Farmer 309 CI ranks second out of 19 models in terms of power (76.9 kW). The next smaller model is the Farmer 309 CA with 74 kW, and the next larger model is the Farmer 309 CI‑4X4/228 with 82 kW, the series power range being 18.3 to 82 kW. Regarding weight, the Farmer 309 CI is fourth of 16 models (4 220 kg). The next lighter model is the Farmer 309 C at 4 110 kg, and the next heavier model is the Farmer 310 LSA at 4 540 kg, with the series weight span from 1 500 to 4 850 kg.
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.
- 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.
