That's a complete bullshit lie but okay, Just because they made a pretty solid tractor, doesn't change the fact the United States still kicks Europe's ass in everything else and that includes Agricultural bud !!
Coming from Germany I would not agree with that. Powershift, Rotory Combines, Tracks and GPS do not have their roots in Europe. Beside that I am pretty sure that Fendt set some standards and forced the competition to follow, especially in CVT, suspension, comfort, handling and fuel consumption.
Great to see the US is now also a market of Fendt. I grew up with Fendt tractors around me on our farm: Farmer 2DE (35 hp, 25 mph), Fendt GT 231 (32 hp, shovel, carrier box) and later on the Farmer 104 S (famous Turbomatic). These where quite popular here in South Germany (Alps Mountain chain) in the 60'ies and 70'ies. My brother now is working with an Vario 417 (I believe) and a John Deere as well as a Farmer 307 LSA (Turbomatic). This is a small farm (greenland and cows for milk and meat). The 1050 I see quite often in street building applications as transport machines. We live just 60 km away from the Fendt head quarter, some of my colleagues are working there. It's amazing to see thes tractors in the US, as John Deere has a long history and good reputation there.
The Fendts are just amazing. We use them in western europe a lot. The 700’s are super popular because of the power from a smaller tractor. And they work perfectly on the smaller roads and in cities (although the 500’s and 300’s are used mostly in bigger cities). The 1000 series are very rare in my area because of the size. They are mainly used for forestry up here
After 34 years of running CaseIH the Fendt dealer convinced us to try a Fendt rent-free for 6 months and we bought an 828 for haying, mowing, and rockpicking. We won't go back to any other than Fendt. They have the best CVT out there. Our 310 CaseIH Magnum has no issues, it's just that the CVT transmission is noisy. John Deer's IVT means I vanna be a transmission. I'll say this we put on 13000 hours on our CaseIH Magnum 240 with a power shift and all we replaced was the fuel pump when the hydraulics got weak we traded it in.
I hope your expectations of reliability for your 828 are not too high! These tractors have massive problems with the Deutz engine here in Germany. There isn't a single 828 that hasn't been in the workshop because of the engine. The 800 series is no longer being built, the current successor is the 728 and this has an Agco-Sisu engine! You write that Fendt has the best CVT transmission, but after more than 20 years Fendt has managed to make the driving ranges switch automatically, CASE IH has been able to do this since 1999! There are also transmission failures on Fendts after less than 5000 hours. Although I'm German, I'll stick with CASE IH.
I am in no way a farmer, I last drove a tractor over 40yrs ago just for a week helping a friend on his dads farm, that tractor was a few years old but compared to this it was like a modal T-Ford, this Fendt is like a space ship don't think I could drive it tbh, unless it was set to drive like a lorry or a car . Thanks for sharing this really interesting .
A tractor that is like a space ship, like a Fendt, is great when one have a farm where on can use it's full potential, as efficient as possible. In other cases one canbe better off economically with a older and simpler tractor
Cool to see how excited you are about the operation system in the fendt. We run a few different size Fendts, our biggest was a 939, best tractor out there IMO.
Funny to see you Americans trying out Fendts hehe. Here in Denmark, where I work, we have had Fendt for many years, along with John Deere and New Holland. Now a day we only have a few Deeres and NH back, as they are just no match for Fendt. The new Deere generations is ofcause nice to, grantet, but it is about time they came up to date aswell. :)
@@208SledHead It's all just a ridiculous race for the moronic crown of the most powerful machines. The quantities that are produced and sold are not even worth the development costs. Anyone who thinks economically and doesn't just develop machines for show should keep their hands off it.

@@gerhardma4687 How do you know the machines sold aren't worth the development costs? Are you suggesting that Deere and Case are in business to lose money? You sound extremely ignorant on the subject. I live in east Idaho where they farm massive hills with mile-long passes in 1 direction. We have an EXTREMELY small window for harvest and these large machines afford the farmers time and efficiency because weather does not always cooperate.

@@petermuller3995 ive seen a lot pop up here in the US over the past couple of years and i think that they are better quality (the second part is just my opinion) also challenger was replaced by fendt and that was a popular brand also in the european nations fendt is the most popular brand by far
Loving the CVT transmission and how it maintains PTO RPMs steady. This is going to make working with the auger cart so much easier. Fendt really does lead the way in CVT technology!
Fendt has a good name in Germany. Customer rarely switched to other brands after they had a Fendt. The Vario transmission is something you need to get used to, but I liked it immediately. It is like having 50 speeds. The vehicles are also designed to make the job as easy and comfortable as possible for the driver.
From the direct comparison at work between a Fendt 942 and 8R370: while the 8R is better at pulling implements, the Fendt wins in comfort, road performance and quietness inside the cab.
Theres a Massy dealer in a small town near where i live, so weve been seeing some fendt stuff as well they are really cutting into Joh Deere, think god.
All this tech in that machine, reminded me of KITT. This is better than KITT. Can't imagine a grandpa running it. It needs a new generation driver, who must be tech savvy. This makes farming enjoyable and more profitable!
Fendt tractors are insanely well designed and silent even for the biggest ones they have on offer. This is mainly due to European laws and is with that a huge advantage also for the US market. These guys love their job at Fendt, really can tell on how they talk about this machine.
Fendt would definitely be considered the Rolls Royce in the tractor world. And you will most definitely pay a big price to get into one, but the ownership experience should be something else. I'd be curious, can you put Vario Grip on it, while using the dual row crop wheel setup?
21:13 idk if he said it to you but iam gonna do it: you DONT brake with the joystick backwards. what you do is brake with your brakepedal and get the RPM down with the joystick but you dont brake with the joystick cause it will fk up your transmission
My uncle back in 2002 got one of the first fendts in Minnesota when I was working for him on the dairy farm. There is nothing like a fendt. That tractor can pull wagons with ease. The transmission is amazing and they just keep getting better and better.
Here in Germany Fendt and Deere are pretty equal in terms of price. Case and Deere are a bit cheaper at first, but once you configure a nicely equipped tractor, they start to meet up on the same price level.

I've been tractor shopping lately and I find myself in agreement, these narrow tires are even a thing on a lot of US utility tractors where fitting in rows really aren't a concern, and they give you no wide options
Not sure why they call it is a CTV transmission but it is not it is a Vario lot deferent then CTV transmission 🤷♂️ or can someone explain that to me because we drive Fendt for 23 years and it is always ben a Vario transmission
Vario is only the name Fendt uses for their transmissions. CVT or Continuously Variable Transmission is the technical description and the competition also has such transmissions. But But both of Fendt's transmissions are technical different to others.
the fendt operates like a cvt but the underpinnings are part hydraulic, part gear driven power which is why it has a higher efficiency than pure hydraulic drives
Most all of the larger HP tractor manufactures use a similar hydro over ring gear/planetary system with 2 or 4 ranges. Each has their own "name" for their system. The key in design is to increase their efficiency from previous designs to compete with the efficiency of a power shift transmission.
Also der rechte hintere Kotflügel hat ne Macke. Da ist was faul mit der Kunststoff Abdeckung. Das würde mich persönlich stören für den Preis . Der Fahrkomfort ist aber Spitzenklasse. Das arbeiten mit dem Traktor ist auch sehr angenehm.
