Maintenance
Fendt tractors are easy to maintain on a daily and scheduled basis.
- Every 500 hours, the operating instructions recommend changing the engine oil. The user manual recommends the use of German oils from the manufacturer Fendt 15W-40 or 10W-40. However, you can only find them in specialized stores. Therefore, many Russian owners use analogues with ACEA E7 performance class.
- The transmission oil should be changed after 1000 operating hours. Here, again, it is recommended to use the branded Fendt 85W-90. However, there are many analogues on the market with the same classification. The main thing is not to use universal transmission lubricants of the STOU type. They are not suitable for this and can damage the entire system.
- Any motor oil can be used for the hydraulic system, the main thing is that according to the SAE classification it is not lower than CD.
- To operate the engine, it is necessary to use clean and fresh fuel. It is not allowed to use diesel with sediment or expired expiration date.
- If you do not plan to use the tractor for a long time, you need to clean it, put it in a dry place, drain the oil and gasoline, disconnect the spark plug wires and lubricate the parts to prevent corrosion from forming.
Fendt Vario tractors operate heavy attachments that can be mounted either front or rear.

Owner reviews
On thematic forums you can find reviews about the operation of Fendt tractors along with videos and photos.
Here are a few of them: Anatoly : “After decommissioning the Kirovets, I’ve been using the Fendt 1050 for the second year. Well, what can I say. This feeling is comparable to moving from a hostel to a luxury country house. The cabin is a fairy tale! Convenient, comfortable, silent. The controls are so simple that even a child can handle it. If earlier at the end of the work shift I would fall out of the cab from fatigue, now it is much less. So far there have been no equipment failures or breakdowns. The car is decent, but rarely seen in Russia due to the very high price. But it's worth it! "
In the beginning there were "Dwarves"
About a century has passed since the iron horse, according to the popular expression of Ostap Bender, replaced the peasant horse. During this time, a variety of tractors, both domestic and foreign, worked in the fields of the Motherland.
The first Russian tractor was the Gnome, created in 1919, designed by Y. V. Mamin, equipped with an 11.8 kW oil engine. It was followed by “Kolomenets-1” and “Zaporozhets”, and in 1924 the USSR began production of three models of tractors: “Kommunar”, “Karlik” and “Fordson-Putilovets”, completely copied from the Ford model.
The export of domestic tractors abroad began with the Universal model, which was a copy of the American Farmall F-20, and the first Soviet tractor with a diesel engine was the Stalinets. Of the subsequent models that became most widespread, it is worth noting the T-100, T-150K, MTZ-80 “Belarus”, K-700 “Kirovets”, DT-54 tractors and the most common Soviet tractor DT-75, created on its basis.
