The Favorit 612 is a tractor from Fendt’s Favorit series, built in the 1990s. It is equipped with a six‑cylinder diesel engine of 6 234 cm³ delivering 135 hp (98.8 kW) at 2 400 rpm. The torque of 490 Nm is transmitted through a 20‑forward‑/9‑reverse gearbox (20V/9R). With a length of 4 800 mm, width of 2 204 mm, height of 2 860 mm and wheelbase of 2 715 mm, the machine has a curb weight of 7 025 kg, providing low ground pressure. The 222‑l fuel tank and PTO speeds of 750/1 000 rpm complete its field capability.
In operation the 98.8 kW output enables the Favorit 612 to handle heavy field tasks such as plowing or harrowing without overloading the engine. The 490 Nm torque gives strong pulling power at low speeds, useful for starting heavy loads. The extensive gearbox with 20 forward and 9 reverse gears allows fine speed adjustment to match work conditions, while the large 222 l tank supports long periods of work between refuelling.
Within the Favorit line the Favorit 612 ranks sixth of 17 models for power (98.8 kW). The next smaller model is the Favorit 512C with 92 kW, and the next larger is the Favorit 714 Vario 4x4 with 103 kW. The series power range spans from 29.3 kW to 154 kW. For curb weight the Favorit 612 is second of 17 models at 7 025 kg. The next lighter model weighs 6 800 kg, the next heavier 7 690 kg, with the weight range of the series from 2 330 kg to 7 690 kg.
Fendt Favorit – Tractor Series Since 1958: Forerunner of Stepless Vario Technology, three- to six-cylinder diesels with 29.3 to 110 kW (40 to 150 hp), 2,976 to 6,240 cm³ displacement
Fendt introduced the Favorit name in 1958 with the Favorit 1 and developed the series over several decades. The recorded models span a wide power band: output from 29.3 to 110 kW, with models rated in horsepower from 40 to 150 hp, using three- to six-cylinder engines with displacement from 2,976 to 6,240 cm³.

Recorded operating weight runs from 2,330 to 6,800 kg, wheelbase from 2,168 to 2,696 mm, and top speed of the listed models spans 20 to 30 km/h. In 1995 Fendt presented, in a Favorit model, the first production-ready stepless Vario transmission in tractor manufacturing – a technical milestone that still shapes the brand's model policy today.
Across many model years, the Favorit series occupied the upper-mid to premium segment of the Fendt line-up. When buying a used Favorit, distinguishing early mechanical model years from later Vario versions matters, since the operating concept and service demands differ fundamentally.
With a power range up to 110 kW, the Favorit series' three-point hitch spanned from category I on the smaller models to category II under ISO 730 at the upper end; the most powerful Favorit Vario versions already approached the class otherwise reserved for category III. Early Favorit model years before 1999 still ran without any EU emissions certification, while later Vario models already fell under the first European emissions stages.

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.
