Dear Austin, Happy Merry Christmas to you and all person you stay in love. I´m proud to have a Fendt 304LSA from the 300 series 32 years ago. I grow up with Fendt 103S and 104S wich is still on the farm. The new series are quied better and much more comfortible. If you payed the vaue for a FENDT tractor many years ago, so in Europe the value is the same, and if you take care of it does´nt got less. It is so easy to drive a FENDT. The geabox to shift is much better than oathers. The front-end-loader with hydraulik funktions for grappleforks has ever been exelent. My lifestyle is FENDT. You have been at Agritechnika in Hannover this year, like I´ve been. With greetings from germany, Willy
Looks like you are the "Key" man today Austin!!! (Ha!Ha!) But it is not nice to tease us about the Weidemann. Where is your spirit of adventure?!?! Get in it and go!!! We want to see what it can do. You are a young guy. You have the rest of your life to pay for it, if something goes wrong. (Ha!Ha!)
Frent FHAs won tractor of the year in Europe 7 times more then any of the competition. Frendt in 2023 had four of the best 5 tractors in Europe, Frendt had 1st, 2nd, 3rd John Deere had 4th with their 9r and Frendt had 5th.
Yeah because JD has done customer service so we'll... Their stance on "right to repair" puts them squarely on my "NFE" (not fricken ever!) list. You buy their equipment thinking you own it but in reality you just own the debt. I sold off all of my JD crap after the way I was treated trying to get a new hood for my lawn mower (x300), they wanted over $1,500 for the hood assembly because the hood shattered after only 2 yrs of use due to UV damage that isn't covered under warranty. Then every other time I go into the stealership with the broken part in hand, they would argue that was the wrong part... I bought the tractor from them, I ran the tractor for years, it broke, I removed said part, walked in and laid it on the counter and they argued it wasn't the correct part. Well where the F' did the part come from then? Had some bearings go out on my disk, took old bearing in, again, that's the wrong bearing,here's the one you're supposed to have, but it won't fit because the shaft is too big and the bearing falls out of the holder. Oh and the bearing from them was $150 each.... Went to a bearing supply house that also make hydraulic hoses and got the correct bearing for an amazing $27 each... Oh and these had an upgraded triple seal which wasn't even a JD option. So excuse me.if I have some bias against JD because of how I was treated by our local dealer and when I called JD corporate to advise them I was basically told well it is the way it is...
