Fendt FAVORIT 612F

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.
