2020 Fendt 939 vs. John Deere 8530

[@tjyoung7342]

I am 15 years old and I work for my dad on his farm in Pickens arkansas I am new to your content and I love it and I can’t stop watching your videos. I love watching people farm especially the way you do it. Thanks for all your good content and keep on keeping on

[@mojomanmurph1925]

As an old man with kids, your parents have done a wonderful job raising you and should be very proud. It sure is refreshing to see kids being like this today because I really don't see too much of it. Oh, I am subscribing, thumbs up and all that to help you out and forwarding to my kids as well. God Bless you and your family.

[@alexdreher]

I love that Fendt put that Horse on the Steeringwheel. It reminds at the first tractor of fendt that is called diesel horse. There is a huge history at that company!

[@killermueller]

@@alexdreher in Germany the slogan of Fendt always was: "Wer Fendt fährt, führt!" (Who drives Fendt, is a Winner) ...then they developed the Vario-drive. And from that Time on the slogan was " wer führt, fährt Vario!" (Winners drive Vario!)

The Fendt is one mean looking tractor. The front end looks like a shark. I'd like one and I don't even have a farm.

Me too. I like it all around from what she has shown.

[@cargotoolshop5319]

That why I have so many toy tractors, but now the big ones are $200 a piece so I haven't bought to many lately, but now all the track tractors have caught my eye, there's at least six of them I would love to have

Crispy response..Nice!

[@luisvillarreal5262]

Can't complain about either one of them. All I have is a shovel. LOL

[@thr8061]

BTW, the "throttle" on the Fendt is actually the multi-function joystick which controls the transmission and other function buttons. The rotary switch with the orange tab closer to you on the control arm is the throttle. It also looks like it is not a front 3pt hitch but just the front weight bracket.

[@ahv972]

It has a 3pt in the front. U can also see the controlling wheel for the electronic hitch controll in the cabine.

[@farminstoltzfus]

You missed the air brake hookups on the back of the Fendt. Pretty much standard for European tractors where they do more hauling/trailer work with tractors vs semi-trucks here in North America.

[@ericjbowman1708]

My Freightliner Unimogs have gladhands front and rear, spike brake levers on the steering columns. I have two, each can tow the other if need be, with full trailer air brakes...

[@Rei_Ner]

@@ericjbowman1708 Yeah, the UNIMOG is a real special vehicle, as it's name is telling: "UNIversales MOtor-Gerät" = "universal-usable motorized device". Constructed after WWII as a special kind of agricultural tractor, it changed to a multi-use tool on wheels.

In Europe the front 3 point is used extensively. Where I’m from almost all new tractors have them (90% or more).

[@jeffjefferson3364]

Grassland farming is much more prominent here so new larger tractors tend to come with front lifts and pto to drive front mowers. Plus we plough and use front presses etc where the yanks don't.

I'm just one of your non-farmer (physicist) viewers who is fascinated by modern farming and the life of farmers. I really appreciate they way you explain things ... even someone like me has been generally able to follow your day-to-day activities. I never really appreciated the technical complexities farmers must master to produce our food supply. As far as the tractors go, from an uneducated point of view, the Fendt gets my vote for awesome appearance ... from the front it is intimidating. Not sure many consider this, but all functionality equal, I might consider where they are made, i.e., where are the jobs for the people that make them. Based on the comments, you seem to have a global following, so I hope I haven't offended anyone with that consideration.

[@zfilmmaker]

I finally got to watch the rest of this video. You compared tire size, that's not a great way to do it because of differences in sidewalls and rim size. It looks to me, that the Fendt has larger rims than the Deere...larger rims mean more contact surface area = more traction. I have a Gen6 942 which is the same 2021 model size and class as your 939, so we may have the same tire combo because its a standard size. My rims are 38" on the front and 50" on the rear. One of the big features of Fendt is how the hydraulics have a separate tank/system so if you ever connect to an implement with old nasty oil, it won't cycle through your engine like it would on a Deere. Laura you did a fantastic job explaining the cab and hydraulics on the Fendt...it's the best I've seen anywhere online!

[@jimmoodie4649]

Hydraulic oil doesn’t go through the engine on a Deere or any other tractor. Transmission is used by most tractors separate hydraulic oil tank is used on many makes of machine including self propelled harvesting machinery. One disadvantage is when fire gets near plastic tanks full of flammable oil tends to make history of your tractor combine etc.

[@zfilmmaker]

@@jimmoodie4649 lol that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m only talking hydraulics, not engine oil.

@@zfilmmaker aye our 9000 series Deere was about the Same vintage had around 12000 hrs and had injector seats replaced other than that no problems it had a plastic hydraulic tank under the hood just in front of the cab and a sight gauge by the cab door. Dual 600/65 42 and full weight kit 13.5 tons with liquid in inners. That thing had traction that 900 Fendt would be towed backwards easily We had four valve controls in the armrest. 1 for folding out 50 ft Seedmaster 2 for constant pressure inground individual leg depth control 60 of them and lift out 3 for the fan on seed 4 for fertilizer fan left fan on at headland especially on canola and flax timers need to allow time for seed to get through pipes before lifting out or a lot of seed can get wasted same for dropping in 4 round to give nice drop in especially on angles as satellite needed to be in line to time properly on 5 section control saved a fortune on seed and fertilizer enough to,pay for itself.

[@zfilmmaker]

@@jimmoodie4649 I just realized I said engine in my original post when I meant hydraulic system. I don’t know why I typed engine *scratches head*. I’ve not had any issues with the 942, it’s been very solid with the my TerraDisc and Maschio 20’ tiller. In terms of torque I was very disappointed in the 1050 which I traded for the newly available MT1167 and I’ve been disappointed with it too. It struggles to pull my Degelman ProTill and drill, the larger Fendt’s just can’t compete with Deere torque to wheels/tracks on 8000 series up. As for my hay tractors which are mostly Fendt 700’s, they destroy Deere 6000 series anyway of the week.

Have a challenger mt655e A Fendt 933 The 87s 933 and challenger are all within just a few years apart I love our Fendt, it is by far our best tractor and my favorite. I can have literally everything or almost everything ( depending on what equipment am using) right on the joy stick. From forward to reverse, cruise, GPS, up, down, left, right, ect all right there. Love how it's color coded, tractor controls by wheel everything else separate, gauges like a car. I love the Fendt and if gave to replace anything it will be for more Fendts. But again other than this video never been around a deere.

You should try a Deere 7R. Rides like a bentley.

[@harrie1976]

The fendt has just like the john deere enough power to do the work. The main thing to make a brand choice is what is the close by dealer. And heck by far important the service of your local dealer. So i am.a dutch fendt raised farmer But it has to be your choice what you like price wise and dealer choice. All are great. It is just the way a farmer makes a financial choice and checks of don't and pro . But it is inside when it is dark out side very nice to see all the collors light up. Just like my little co pilot said. The modern fendt are like a space ship. So buckel up and get ready to .............

It is really neat feutre for example if u are running baller or wrapper. I used too have flap hydraulic hook up to this, so if smt went wrong and afer inspection i wuld need to ejct bale, i culd just open flap from rear buttons, turn off the pto, do repair, and close flap again. Altho i do recomend turning tractor off just in case if u have to reach deep inside machnery.

I like how the lights on the Fendt have a much wider spread than those on the Deere. Must be very handy in the field in the dark. All other things being equal, that could be enough reason to choose it over the Deere (of course I don't know if all things are otherwise equal).

[@johns9315]

I've been a Fendt farm now for 5 years and I wouldn't go back to Deere again but that's my choice, the thing I like about the Fendt are the controls at the back where as you need to get back in the cab on a JD to operate the hydraulic spools where as you can do it from the button on the back of the Fendt same as the pto and 3 point linkage, as you say everything being colour coded I find that so much easier as well. We do a lot of night work and the lighting on the Fendt superb its like working in daylight, the only downfall of the new 900 range is they use the Deutz engine and I find they seem to lack power and ours an several other farmers I've spoken to all say they use to use a lot of oil where the MAN engine thats in most the other ranges give ample power for ever situation you can come across. Another good feature they have is the pull into the turn with the front wheels giving a lot tighter turning circle, it will be interesting to see what both you and your dad think of the Fendt after you've demoed it.

I would like to see a side-by-side comparison of a John Deer of the same year as the Fendt. I feel like all of the nice things I saw on the Fendt might be the same on a newer John Deer.

thats true. the old fendt variotronic cab design (from 2012) is roughly the same as new john deeres atm. new FendtOne is totally different tho, and offers some nice features, tho it seems kinda complicated, but at least it looks much more modern then variotronic

[@dazza-h]

Fendt are more superior and well thought out tractors, that's the german engineering for you. But it also reflects in the price !! Not knocking jd as they are very good reliable machines, but fendt have much more presence in Europe. How popular are they in America ?? Great informative content as usual 👌 keep up the good work n stay safe 🤗

[@topdoge2632]

LoL Actually, not even close. John Deere was the brand wich sold more tractors in Europe the past year, and guess what?Fendt is not the second but the third brand. Might be superior for you, but that's just your opinion, I personally think John Deere is a better brand and produces better tractors in general. Also, funny how you said that about the price since JD is as expensive at equal equipment (not that I like that), at least in my country.

They are 10 years apart, but what about price category? Seems the Fendt has quite a few extra features that would typically be upgrades or part of a higher priced model. Sorry if that’s a dumb question, I’ve never heard of Fendt before and my limited experience with tractors is further limited to the 100hp and below category

[@jessequist8308]

Hi Laura! I'm not so sure that you can start the PTO with the button on the Fendt on the back. With all our tractors we can only stop the PTO from outside (we drive no Fendt tractors). Mayby you can enlighten me on that subject😉? Greetings and all the best from the Netherlands!

You should really try to make a comparison with the newer JD, and maybe try out even a Case. A thing I'm really looking forward too is a complete equiment tour... that would be cool as heck!

[@stevenlang9849]

Out of the newest models only I could obly compare the JD 8R series with some of the fendt 900 and 1000 lineup. I worked at a contract company (is that the right word?) and those were the machines I got to drive. The Fendts pretty much win every single category from comfort to ease of use and service, but I'd guess that the JD pull slightly harder at the same HP. That's most likely the tradeoff of the Fendts Vario IVT - which comes with the comfort and speed on the other hand. But the difference is so small that I wouldn't bet money that they do actually pull harder. It's just a feeling. From what I heard about Case I'd assume it's the same for them. They pull slightly harder but they are outclassed at everything else. If the money is right, I'd personally always go for the Fendt. I mean... That smooth gearbox at 60kmh on the road in a cab where you don't even notice potholes in while having better visibility than in the jds and everything being so intuitive... Can't beat that imo.

[@gabrielesala6336]

@@stevenlang9849 Yeah you are completely right about the Fendt being a bit less 'pully'', my cousin also worked a lot on Fendts and if he had to choose between a 8R and a 900 series Fendt he would always choose the Fendt. However with smaller tractors, like the 6R and the 700 series (which i also got to drive btw) he prefers the JD, or maybe other brands like Steyr or Claas, since smaller Fendts are a bit overpriced here in Italy where I live. Fendts are extremely hi-tech and modern, and I personally love that, especially the new 700 series with that super cool digital instrument panel.

[@stirv6462]

On the hydraulic levers of new fendt can the flow be proportionally controlled by just barely touching the lever? I was told that if you just touch the lever it activates the timed detent. Deere you have to move it quite a ways until there’s the click and that will activate your time. Until the click, the lever is proportional if you want to feather an implement a tad. Do you have to shut off the timer on the fendt in order to do this? I haven’t ran a fendt and maybe the person didn’t know anything.

Ok .... I asked too soon ... from the rest of the video is appears that the "3 point" is a sort of trailer hitch for tractors .... It appears to be the mechanical connection to tow various attachable machines and tools to work the fields ...

Is that in the right ballpark? .... Thanks

Tire size doesn’t equate to exact dimensions, certainly not tire height. A 380 105 r50 isn’t 50 inches tall. It is a 50 inch rim. The aspect ratio of 105 gives a relative guess as to how much tire will be on the rim. The tire height will be closer to 6.5 feet in this example.

So many electronic gizmos to break down where tractors get used in the mud, sand, rain, and snow. A dozen controls for the same system functions. Probably two dozen sensors in there. How are the on-board system diagnostics of both tractors to trouble shoot a problem in the field? Any breakthroughs in the 'Right to Repair' situation? How much repair do you do on the farm vs calling in the dealer mechanic? Do you have any vintage (pre-70s) tractors at the farm to show comparisons, that might be good to show folks what has been added and what is the same, including inflation-adjusted-pricing.

Fendt is the GOAT in my opinion, best quality tractor ever made, but you pay for it as well.

[@noztyplays7237]

nah

[@terrystearns1196]

No way...

[@Tomcroese]

The tracktors is so big!

[@Darindul]

Hearing your excitement when You are taking about Fendt, i can clearly say You are a bit more in team Fendt. That's a big, mean, green machine! And sounds great. Can't wait to see it in action.

[@cargotoolshop5319]

I like case IH half track tractors better than the 8RX for personal reasons, I think the tracks on the front don't help as much as I would think, but they should give good traction on the rears

[@gac914]

I think Laura should challenge ALL farmers this spring to have their nails done in that style & color!! Come on Nick and Leg-Arms, get on the bandwagon!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations for your German Tractor 💪🏻! You will be very happy with it ! Greetings from good old Germany

[@wolfgrizzer]

Could have kept the Deere 6R series there in Germany. They start like the 4020 in the cold.

[@fl2112]

You should try a Fendt

[@Combatbob54]

your nails look great.. they are real current too.

[@ZigzousGaming]

Awesome video, but why do you guys double your thin wheels? Im from France and we dont really do that so like i wanna understand why you guys double them instead of having a single big one?

[@lordbonville]

Big single ones on cereal crops to minimise compaction. Narrow twins to fit between the rows on maize and soybeans

[@ZigzousGaming]

@@lordbonville ah okay thanks a lot!

[@Leimbrock2000]

When you Pull the Joystick in The Fendt to the Left, it doesnt put the Tractor in Neutral. You Have to Push a button on the Back and when you press the Joystick to the Left its Changes the Directions from the Tractor from Forword to Backwords

[@sterlingspencer2934]

Both have their merits but that programmable fendt is nice.

[@aswan2140]

They're both great tractors but you guys with you're experience will pick what's right for you and your family. We are hoping it's the Deere though. Thank you for the Video! 🇺🇲🚜

[@familyvlogs9105]

Does the Fendt have the MAN diesel? They burn very little fuel?

[@Rei_Ner]

Maybe in the past (don't know exactly); today most Fendt have an AGCO Diesel which is the former Valmet Company from Finland, some have a Deutz Diesel. AGCO is located at Duluth, Georgia, and owns the brands Fendt, Massey Ferguson, Valtra and Challenger. They produce around the world.

[@ericjbowman1708]

@@Rei_Ner Agree. "Buy American" is a common reply to Laura's Fendt, but tractors are so globalized now that it's basically what she's doing. Hate to tell the haters that many parts on your beloved Deere's aren't made in USA these days, either. Bosch alternators for BMWs and Volkswagens built in America are made in Brazil, etc. All the electronics that were made in China or Taiwan a decade ago now come from India or Vietnam. How things are done, now. Chill and get over it, people.

@@kuhmuh8477 Hello, thanks for this information ;-) It wasn't mentioned in the main article; the 1000 Series has it's own, where MAN is named.

@@ericjbowman1708 Yes, that's right, production is worldwide these days. John Deere tractors for the european market i.e. are made in Mannheim, Germany (the former LANZ factory, known for "Lanz Bulldog").

[@vk2ig]

I like how the Fendt external controls at the back are out of the way of the 3-point hitch, etc - less chance of getting caught by something. And having duplicate controls on each side would make things easier, too.

[@tommydyess3994]

What is the horsepower of each ? I know they are not comparable but it does have some importance.

[@davidkandr8251]

Fendt is a suberb tractor brand in Europe along with Claas and Deutz-Fahr. Good old German machinery.

[@Simon-xi8tb]

omg, how do you even get the time to clean all those machines

[@kosys5338]

Not gonna lie the color coding on the Fendt is pretty sweet.
