As a German, I am of course delighted when an American farmer appreciates German equipment. The best tillage equipment comes mainly from Europe, most of it from Germany. Lemken is a good company, tillage equipment is not their strongest point except when it comes to ploughs but the Karat is quite good. If you ever have the chance to demo a Horsch Tiger or Köckerling Vector, do it, you will love it.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’ll have to look into that for next year. I’m glad you liked the video. We love lemken on our farm. We have 3 of there machines

[@2chipped]

Absolutely not your fault. But these comparisons especially in the performance department, are apples to donkeys. Track widths, total weight,age and options are huge metrics . 1.5 mph difference @+ 4.5 mph is 33%,fuel 25/29is only 18%. According to Mike Mitchell a Fendt cannot go a full long day on fuel/def,but will get more acreage done based off the increase in speed. The former are all performance. Now to ergonomics. You being 6'6 an uncomfortable.....is me 20 yrs ago in an R# Mac on a dump trailer with no air ride (frame or seat) on no-till...running silage to a pit. Every 2 hrs I took 15 minutes to stop the world from shaking 😅. Cost per acre isn't even the best metric,our 801 Jubilee was cost effective...but with a freeze coming would be pissing in the wind. In the end I really enjoyed the comparison. Have you ever noticed motor trend will compare Ford/Chevy/Ram using different engines, and chassis....but never all crewcab 4x4 with same gearing and closest engine size?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

This was the closest comparison we could get you never going to get an exact comparison because John Deere, and Fendt, don’t make the exact same machine. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m going to try and do another one in the spring, hopefully with all new tractors.

[@robertstanze6402]

German tillage equipment is by far top tier compared to North American built machines. I may be a little bias as my dad came from Germany and that my family is to my knowledge the only dealer for Kockerling tillage tools in North America. We are based in southern Manitoba, Canada!

[@therodian96]

@@robertstanze6402 oh that‘s cool, the Köckerling machines are actually built 20 kilometres from our farm here in Germany. They make great equipment, the tools for shallow tillage they make, the Allrounder and Vario are the best one the market.

I agree. I’m glad you like the video.

[@wf1000]

Nice Video. Just a few thoughts on the comparison. Mick Michell compares the pulling power of the 1167 with the 9R620 after using it for 2 years. Compare IVT with IVT. Its more fair. (Why doesn’t semi’s have ivt gearboxes?) If you use gallons/acre instead of gallons/hour it makes the real comparison easier. The workspeed doesn’t rise linearly with horsepower. More speed more friction,more horsepower needed. My last thought,remember that no company really care for any of us farmers,they care about the stakeholders and profit margins. The only way to keep them in check is to not do their marketing on their behalf. Maybe if there were better/more competition in the market,the prices on equipment would go down. Have a great day,greetings from South Africa.

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

On the Jd, I use the auto shift feature. To use that, push the f1 button then use the thumb wheel on the shift lever, to set your target speed in mph. The tractor then takes over the transmission control and throttle control to reach the target speed. The tractor is the most efficient this way. Fendt does the same thing, but it is a ctv or as jd would say ivt transmission. You don't need to access the headland management to use the auto shift feature in the Deere. The 1167 has a good 100 horsepower more then the 510 jd. The 9620r jd comes more close in horsepower.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I will have to try that. I am going to try to get a closer hp comparison in the spring.

[@justindrewery3531]

ITS an E23 transmission 😂

[@DanWoelders-fd5zd]

You can play with the fendt tms settings and get that thing to pull way better. Everyone I know that runs those 1100 fendts to the 9r Deeres say those fendts out pull the Deeres any day of the week even comparing to a 9620r but the fendts have a shit ton of settings you really need to know how to use. Many things that can limit your power output

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I just let the dealer set it up because I didn’t know how.

[@shaker8984]

It does not outpull 9620R(X btw). It's simllar at low spead air drill seeding but still its pumping more HP. Moreover Vario is a great transmission, but the power loss is very noticable and you cannot just fix it. It's still the best transmission for grain carting but heavy pulling - there are way better options .

[@armchairgeneral7557]

I’ve posted in one of your other videos I believe, but the CVT is terrible for putting power to the ground. Power shift is still relevant for a reason.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I think you’re right

[@melvd3484]

'Terrible' is definitely the wrong word to describe the efficiency of Fendt's CVT. It's pretty good indeed, even if a modern Powershift might be better. That can be seen in the Nebraska tests and I also heard that others came to the conclusion that the 1167 can hold up with an 9620 RX.

[@markam306]

Good test, the Fendt people talk about their vario transmission matching rpm with load & speed to optimize efficiency. What they never say is how much power is lost through their transmission vs a power shift. I’ve even heard Fendt fans express how technologically more advanced their equipment is vs American built. This misses the whole point. In the USA farmers have big acres, pull wide implements with high horsepower. The amount of HP lost through the transmission matters.

[@melvd3484]

Each Powershift transmission has a different level of efficiency. Even each gear of a Powershift transmission has a different efficiency than the next. So you can't say that in general terms. On the whole, an e23, for example, should be more efficient in the field than a VarioDrive. In the Nebraska test, the 1167 performed pretty well compared to a 9620 RX or 9RT 570 if you look at the consumption. So the Fendt really does not seem to be inefficient.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Great point! I know there is alot of power loss in the Fendt

[@roadrunner681]

my boss has a fendt 1038, that cvt is really good for most stuff but if you need max pulling power for tilling a powershift is the way to go. the cvt runs the trencher better thought, need the speed control for it. mike less has a video of the deutz running the prototype if you want see it running

20% faster but only ~ 8% more fuel... Sounds to me like a point for the Fendt.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Except it’s way more expensive

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

I spend most of time living vicariously through other farmers but I would love to one day be able to compare tractors side by side like this! Thanks you for making this video! As a viewer I need some help on a couple of things relative to this test. You mentioned the fendt was 160 hp more than the Deere which is misleading. Your Deere has a max power in the ballpark of 560 hp at 1900(ish) rpm. While the fendt is 670 at the engine, certainly some of that is lost through the drive train making your available hp much closer than you lead viewers to believe. With that in mind, what would you say your expectation was for a speed difference between the 2 machines? From the couple of quick clips you showed in each tractor I’m seeing the fendt pulling at >20% faster….. Do you have seat time in a more current production 620hp Deere or case tractor? I don’t recall you mentioning slip% between either tractor. How did you determine true ground speed of each machine? The number in the Deere pillar is not true ground speed… While you provide quantitative performance data, the data feels very “seat of your pants”. Do you have access to any 3rd party tools (farm mobile pucs for example) that would allow you to build performance averages over time to take the “seat of the pants” feel and emotion out of the comparison? Do you know the weight of each tractor? You have 5000+ hours running the Deere. How many hours do you have running the 1167? Who trained you on optimization of the tractor? Overall great video that I found entertaining and enjoyed watching. Just looking for a bit of additional context around the comparison.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I did not know at the time that the fence was losing so much power because of the transmission I was just going off of what the horsepower numbers were I know now that they were closer and horsepower than I thought. I have never driven a new John Deere that has more horsepower than our 9510. I don’t recall either of the tractors having much if any slippage. And the ground speed of the tractors was what was on the monitors. I don’t have any access to performance monitors overtime, because that was just a demo of the Fendt. I know the tractors were similar in weight, but I’m not sure what that weight was and the Fendt was brought out and set up by the dealer and they showed me how to run it for about an hour. I only ran the 1167 for about eight hours. I know there was a lot of stuff left out of the video. It’s hard to get every little detail into the videos, but I am going to be doing another comparison video this spring when we start planting between a Fendt a John Deere, and a case, all new tractors.

[@brysonhaggard]

From what ive been around for tillage powershift is where to go but comfort wise ill take a cvt anyday even though you lose more power output which is why i like cvt and ivt for planting and them kinda jobs but powershift shines in tillage

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I agree

[@Caimen0]

From what I have heard, the 1167 isn't really 670 HP - it has some HP boost with the hydraulic system that never reaches the tracks. Unless you're running an air drill, it's really just an 1162 with a different badge. Allegedly. CVTs also have some parasitic loss in the transmission due to how they work. It uses hydraulic pressure to modify the output speed - there are several basically identical videos that AGCO has put on youtube that explain it. When the transmission doesn't need to use hydraulic pressure to adjust speed, it has better power delivery than a powershift, but beyond about 6 MPH a PS will have more efficient power delivery. I think those 2 factors combined explains why the Deere beat out the 1167 in fuel economy and the seeming lack of power above the Deere despite the HP difference.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That would still make it 110 hp more than the Deere so it should have done quite a bit better but it was barely faster but less efficient. I’m not impressed with the Fendt

[@Caimen0]

@@RockyMountainFarmer I was never trying to defend the Fendt, I was just pointing out why it was so disappointing. I imagine you would be getting a new Deere after that demo and I certainly would myself. If you go to the NTTL reports, the 9510RT at gear 10 is listed at around 440 drawbar HP while the 1167 is listed at over 500. There was clearly something wrong with that tractor's power delivery.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah I’m not sure if something was wrong or not but it wasn’t very impressive. I’m going to try to get a closer HP comparison in the spring.

[@MrTjulius]

Weird because Mike Mitchell says his 1167 out pulled his 620 wheel and rx on his drills.

[@Caimen0]

@@MrTjulius Not really. Pulling an air seeder and pulling a tillage tool are 2 very different beasts. On an air seeder, he can make use of the extra hydraulic power on the tractor, and you move slowly - around 4 MPH - while here the chisel was being pulled at 6-7.5. If you reread my initial comment, 6-7.5 MPH is outside of the max efficiency zone of the CVT, so reduced performance is expected. Mike also has a larger amount of ballast on his tractor.

[@essexfarmer9610]

I think the reason it pulled slower with the Fendt on one run was because that was an opening up slightly wider run whereas the next run was in between 2 already worked runs with overlaps in loose ground.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

The Lemken does not overlap more than 3 inches on each side.

[@Mopar-Pioneer]

Hi Rocky. I have not done any farm ground preparation since 1969. I can understand the economics of 1 pass ground preparation , but am curious as to how the seed bed compares to the old style mouldboard plough, disc it, spring tooth cultivate it style that I grew up with ? Thanks mate. Alex

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

You know, we never have used a plow like that. For potatoes, we always used to rip it in the fall, and then we would chisel plow it in the spring before planting but with this new Lemken, we just chisel plow in the fall, and in the spring.

[@claterpillar1]

Gallons per acre is what we need to know.

[@MK-xc9to]

Do the math , 510HP = 4.9 670 HP = 6.2/6.3 , there is not really a surprise , the Fendt could be a bit faster = 0,1 /0,2 but it has a bigger = heavier motor , more hyraulic access points and a slightly sturdier Frame due to the 160 HP more ( i guess ) = more weight = 10-15 HP could be attributed to that . For your 8 mph dream you need at least 200 - 220 HP more than the Fendt has ( if its linear , but your Test shows that 160 HP more = 1,2 / 1.3 mph more . It scales not perfect because more HP = sturdier heavier Frame , bigger Tracks , but in general it fits

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, that makes sense

[@gerryspang5917]

Not a fair comparison, you need to compare H.P. To H.P. And the same year on both as the features change from year to year. Enjoy you videos, cheers my friend.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’d say it’s pretty fair when a 10 year old John Deere with 510 hp goes up against a brand new Fendt with 670 hp and almost keeps up the same. That tells you how good the Fendt is. I think a new John Deere that is close to the horsepower of the fendt would destroy the fendt.

[@gerryspang5917]

@@RockyMountainFarmer that’s what I was thinking

[@femtouser4421]

How can you compare it? In the video you can see that your 2. try with the Deere was on a freshly grubbed (i don´t know if this is the right word. English isn´t my first language) field. The friction on it is much more less than on a ungrupped field.

[@gercobosch2870]

I would like to argue that a smaller cab does have some advantages, as you said you are quite tall 6'6 I believe you said. Whereas perhaps a 6'2 would prefer the smaller cab because everything is better in reach, and the stretching out is a smaller issue because even you could stretch out in the Fendt.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

[@Mr617583]

On the first part of the video the John Deere was a 2018, at the end it turned into a 10 year old machine, pretty amazing!!! At the end of the video the Fendt did 6.5-7 mph, was that at 14 inches on a previously untilled field using 29 gph, or 12 inches in a tilled field? I suspect it was 14 inches in an untilled field. So the John Deere comes into the tilled up field the next day and does the same speed at 25.8 gph at 12 inches in a tilled up field. Bogus comparison!!!!! And the difference between 25.8 and 29 is 3.2 not 4. So in reality the Fendt did better and that's with a new engine. An engine that's fully broke in would do better on power and gph.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

So I miss spoke in the first part about the year and corrected myself later in the video. And in the second field, I upped the depth on the fendt to 12 inches so they were both going in the same field at 12 inches. The Fendt was going 6 1/2 to 7. The Deere was going 6 to 6 1/2 same depth, same field. The fendt was also broken in with 1500 hours so the Deere did a little slower but more efficient.

[@Mr617583]

Were they both working untilled ground? I will admit a cvt is not as good at getting the power to the ground as a mechanical tranny. They are handy on a loader tractor. But even then their kinda spongy, I still like the more positive control of a clutch and manual. But going down the road at 31 mph at reduced rpm with a cvt Fendt is better.@@RockyMountainFarmer

It's not actually 160hp larger than the deere. The transmission doesn't allow the full 670 through. The extra horsepower is all for hydraulics and PTO. Really no reason buy an 1167 over a 1162 as you're not getting anything for draft work.

Does the actual wear part on that lemken point unbolt from the quick attach component or do you have to buy it all as one? Great video, nothing magical about fendt. Theres only so much energy in a gallon of fuel, fendt fanboys dont realize that. Cvt is terrible for max pull work.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yes you can unbolt and replace all the wear parts on the point and they are really simple to change as well.

[@mehmetsari903]

👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@charliepyle1626]

I used to find going faster would not get the same depth. The implement would tend to ride up as the speed increased.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

With the Lemken equipment that is not the case, it will stay in the ground. with our old John Deere stuff that would happen all the time

[@jjdurrantfarm72]

How would you hit headlines that aren't straight lines then? If you're not able to turn with the equipment in the ground. Are you just not able to use that type of equipment on fields that don't have straight lines on the edges?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

You can make slight turns just not sharp turns.

[@jjdurrantfarm72]

@RockyMountainFarmer copy that. Just something ive never thought of. Lol great videos. What part of idaho is your farm? I drive all over up there. Im from just south of Hill Airforce Base. And i drive truck up into idaho all the time. Mostly food grade tanker and belt trailer. And i do some reefer haulin spuds to where ever.

[@jjdurrantfarm72]

Oh right on!

[@tannerjohnson5690]

Fendt challenger wins every time. Cheaper, pulls more, can turn with implement in the ground better thanks to a hyd sliding hitch, O slip, smoother ride, beefier camso tracks...even good on fuel .

[@glennhatley2010]

Not apples to apples, if deere had 160 more hp, it would run more than 6mph

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It’s closer than you might think. The drawbar go is only about 60 apart

[@betlw]

I am curious, did you let all the ponies out? The gauge on the Fendt only showed 1650 rpm going 6mph. Wide open that engine should run out at 2300rpm

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

The engine in the fendt will not rev up that high. It has a limiter at 1750 RPM.

Just fyi what's holding you back is the chisel plow, which is blue! So just get a New Holland and roll with it already

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I didn’t even know new holland made a chisel plow I have never seen one running because nobody has one there are lots of Lemken around

[@okongqoshana7955]

Dude how do you like a deere cab on tracks😂😂 its the worst .. to be honest the fuel economy from fendt it was bad i did not expect those numbers , but i also feel like if you had it on TMS mode it would have saved fuel but i dont know about the ground speed...... On a diffrent comparison they were pulling a high speed disc it was fendt 1167, John deere 9560rt and john deere 9620 rt ,... the fendt pulled 1 min fast then the 2 track deere but the 4 track deere was the slowest .... I think its not easy to compare this machine .. .. but lets be honest fendt rides way better than deere whether its tracks or wheels they is a big difference in ride quality the cvt is more smoother and easy to operate .....

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I did have the TMS on and they both road equally terrible track machines just do not ride very well especially over bumps. I like the John Deere cab because it’s more comfortable. It’s bigger. The field of you is better. The seat is better. The cab is just better.

[@okongqoshana7955]

@@RockyMountainFarmer man i use to think the 1167 was light on fuel, those numbers are not on the good sign ... I have to say The lemken is doing a good job... now my question to you with your experience using the lemken, can one use this implement for replacing deep ripping or as an primary tilage implement or should have a ripper once in a while... Yhe tracks are very hard

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah we actually sold our ripper after not using it for 3 years

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

@@okongqoshana7955 the lemken will go 12 to 14 inches deep

[@OUKRH5]

I ve never thought that Fendt does use more fuel, and normally Fendt costs 50% more than anything else, i guess they should change a lot of things, if it cannot compete with a more than 10 year old competition machine...

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

My thoughts exactly

[@OUKRH5]

@@RockyMountainFarmer Furthermore Aggco already has tracked tractors with their Challanger Brand, i thought Fendt wanted to build their own, to more suite the european market, where such machines often are used also in Construction and Forestry with massive Milling or Mulching machines, that require a lot of PTO Power, but Fuel Consumption is a massive issue, with all that climate taxes on fuel, and more to come in the future.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, all the taxes are crazy

[@OUKRH5]

@@RockyMountainFarmer i understand it that fuel is taxed quite hard in Austria, to prevent people from driving everywhere by car, when there are trains, buses and bikelanes, but i think fuel should be less taxed on machinery and such, where there is just NO alternative at the moment. Our grid is not up to the load it would cause to load batteries of big excavators, Piling rigs and such now.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah that’s crazy

[@LynnKorte-ve4qf]

That plow I see has a very weak hitch pulling frame for sure compared to the rest of the robust plow

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, it doesn’t have the strongest hitch. We have bent it from turning on accident when it was in the ground, the newer ones do have stronger hitches.

[@4schitzangiggles]

Nice thing with a John Deere is how the really nice things are a subscription service. I mean who doesn't like paying for a house and renting the access to the bathroom... Oh and you have to use their cleaning service to vacuum your floors or only use their handyman service for repairs or maintenance, because why would anyone want to do their own maintenance? Stop being poor... Our local Deere dealer is a joke and I'll never buy another mower let alone a real tractor from them. C&B Operations can go and choke on a potato. The New Holland Dealer treats everyone like they are the most important customer and when I have to send my wife in for parts, they treat her like she's the one running the show. The Deere dealer treated her like a child and was very patronizing towards her when they'd hand her a part and she was like this wasn't what was asked for. They would tell her "this is what we do for a living, she'd bring the part they gave her and I'd end up going back to get the part I sent her for and they'd argue the part they gave was the one that was needed, I'd put the old part on the counter and their part wasn't the one to fit the tractor we were using. Not even close. We run 20-40 acres and yes it isn't much but I've got customers that run 10-12 thousand acres that Deere treated just like me.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I definitely understand that when you buy a tractor you’re really paying for service, so yeah if your dealer treats you like crap I would go to a different brand the dealer we have here treats us pretty well and is very quick to get things fixed.

[@bobwaldner6332]

They do have good lights

[@LynnKorte-ve4qf]

See if you can test a newer model of the Deere ,surely they ll bring one out for you to compare the same year models,perhaps free only fuel cost to you

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I was planning on doing another comparison video this spring with a Fendt John Deere and case, but the Fendt sold, and so did the case so I don’t have access to one. I will try again this fall.

[@shaker8984]

Vario losses a lot of HP that's common. Suprising that it was only 1mph faster compared to that JD. Nontheless Case are known for best pulling (but who knows now when case 715 and jd 830 are realsed).

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It would be awesome to see the new case and John Deere in action.

[@realemonful]

That doesn't even make sense. First you are going 14" deep with both tractors and the Fendt wins in production but then later you raise is to 12" and then the John Deere wins, without trying out the Fendt at 12"

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I did try the Fendt at 12 it went a half a mile an hour faster than the Deere at that depth.

[@danishpuma]

I'd buy the one who I could get the best deal off... ;)

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

True

[@roadrunner681]

i have a firend that sells case stuff, he said get a wheeled 620 with the tires aired down, hes convinced it whip that fendt

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It might. I’m not that impressed with the Fendt

[@user-yl8ws9ih6s]

I wish you would demonstrate the tractors and forget the plough.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

How do you test a tractor without hooking it to something?

[@Netzjargon]

Calculated per square meter, the Fendt uses less!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Maybe but not worth it to me when it costs 500,000 more

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We paid less than 200,000 for our John Deere

[@Netzjargon]

@@RockyMountainFarmer Then the Fendt is too big for your land or you don't have enough for such a machine, which is only worthwhile from X area. But you can calculate that. and one thing I know from the USA = time is money. In other words, every hour that you have more time because the Fendt is faster can be used differently to earn money.

The baskets don't control the depth, period.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yes, they absolutely do. I’ve been running this machine for five years. That’s exactly how it works.

[@cygnusx7]

The part where you compared both machines running at different depths was unfair. The Fendt was running at 17% more depth. Obviously it will use more fuel and go slower comparatively in that case...

The john Deere deck plate looks wider and looks like pierced Steel planking. Meaning it's probably safer to walk on ? I would imagine that a skilled mechanic could convert the steps on the Deere to raise and lower easily enough,even if only manually?

Your probably right.

Only Case Quadtrac can give you want you want. Test it and you will see I am right)
