WHY
BUY A FENDT ACCORDING TO HYDE BROS OF LUDLOW, SHROPSHIRE.
Hyde Bros
run a piping supplies and farm contracting business, and run a 1800 acre
farm near Ludlow. They have a fleet of John Deere tractors and two Fendt
716s which they operate throughout the year for ploughing, baling, potato
and transport work, and more. They can be considered experts when it comes
to comparing the two tractor manufacturers like for like.
We asked
them why they liked their Fendts and what made them choose to add Fendts
to their existing fleet.
The
fuel saving alone can cover the price difference between a Fendt and a
comparable tractor. The fuel saving is most apparent when transporting,
but even in the field Hydes claim that the Fendt offers a substantial
fuel saving compared to a New Holland or John Deere.
The
residual value of high specification John Deere would be the same as a
standard tractor, therefore money is wasted paying for extras which don't
make a difference when trading in or selling on. The Fendt, which
comes high-spec as standard, will always hold its value.
You
can master the controls and Fendt technology within a couple of days.
The Fendt offers smooth road travelling, it is comfy, with a good steering
lock and lighter steering that their other tractors.
The
Vario gearbox is second to none, especially when destoning and potato
harvesting. Having tried the John Deere Vario, they still believe
the Fendt transmission is way ahead of the rest.
Overall ergonomics are good, although Hydes driver Roy says the
cab is now becoming slightly dated, but a new design cab is on its
way, which Roy believes will make the Fendt the only choice for professional
farmers.

WHY
NOT TRY THE LIGHTER SHADE OF GREEN?
Fendts are
known as the Rolls-Royce of tractors, and certainly live up to their reputation
of strong build quality, reliability, and industry leading state of the
art technology on board, you are ensured of both increased productivity
and operator comfort.
RVW Pugh
Ltd has been working with the Fendt brand for seven and a half years and
believe that Fendt is the sensible farmers choice. Fendt tractors are
often mistaken for being overly complicated, too big or too expensive
it's
time to discard these myths!
Full spec
included in the price Although Fendts can have a higher retail price than
other tractor brands, it's worth taking a closer look at what you get
for the bottom figure. A more basic, other branded tractor with a similar
horsepower may look cheaper initially but by the time you have added the
specification required, such as front linkage, air conditioning, full
suspension, Vario transmission and more, all of which come as standard
on a Fendt, the cost is comparable.
Economical
fuel consumption Initial capital layout is not the only thing to look
out for. Fendts win hands down with fuel consumption. Farmers and contractors
know as well as anyone that increasing fuel prices are affecting profitability.
With up to 25% fuel saving, Fendt tractors offer running costs that are
not to be overlooked. Some smaller 150hp tractors use more fuel than the
huge 286hp Fendt 926!
Fendts have
traditionally been big HP tractors but they are by no means clumsy workhorses.
With an excellent power to weight ratio, Fendt lead the way when working
in wet conditions where other tractors may not be able to work.
Industry
leading technology The Vario transmission gives more output without straining
the tractor, as it transfers all the torque to the ground giving a smooth
transition between the gears without jumping, again causing less damage
to the soil surface. The unique Tractor Management System
(TMS) technology ensures ease of driving as the system takes as much power
as needed from the engine, keeping the revs constant when operating on
slopes.
Headland
management is a standard feature on all Fendt tractors. This means that
settings can be adjusted to your requirements. The system offers one touch
automatic control for ease of operation when ploughing, mowing, or anything
where there is a requirement to move the linkage, spool valves and tractor
attachments.
