Fendt Farmer 307 C – 309 C

In the autumn of 1997, Fendt introduced cheaper C-models alongside the well-equipped 300 series models, which were equipped with Deutz 3.2-liter engines. The maximum torque was slightly lower than that of comparable MWM engines, but the torque increase percentage was 30%.

The transmission was the familiar 21+6 without a shuttle shift. The standard 21+21 shuttle shift version was available at an additional cost, but the direction change did not occur electrically. A mechanical quick shift was also operated with a traditional lever instead of a button. The lifting capacity returned to the level of late 1980s Farmer models, as did the axle load capacities. The lifting device was mechanical and sensing was done through the push arm. The rear brakes were drum brakes, but the front axle cardan brake was standard.

The C-models’ cab was mostly the same as in the standard models, and the exhaust pipe was located on the pillar. Noise level was 75 dB instead of 72. The instrument panel was similar to that in older Farmers. The seat in the C-models was air-suspended as well. The cab was also available in a low version.

The C-models gradually replaced the older LSA models, which left only the more traditionally equipped C-models and the well-equipped standard models instead of the three Farmer 300 series. The C-models were also available with rear-wheel drive. The 300 C was Germany’s most popular tractor in 1999 and 2000.
