In the spring of 1978, Fendt introduced the 620 LS with 185 horsepower at the top of its lineup, but only one unit was produced. In the autumn of 1979, it was replaced by the actual production model, the 622 LS with 211 horsepower. MAN’s 11.4-liter six-cylinder engine was placed in front of the front axle on rubber mounts. The wheelbase was short and the weight distribution was 50/50. For its size, the tractor was quite agile. The transmission was initially a ZF 16+16, later an 18+6 equipped with a 3-speed powershift. Like the smaller Favorit models, the tractor had a torque converter clutch and an electric lift. A total of 11 units of this model were produced.

In 1981, a turbo was added to the engine, and the power increased to 252 horsepower. The model number was assigned as 626 LS, and from 1984 onward, the model designation was 626 LSA, consistently with the smaller four-wheel-drive models. A total of 62 units of the 626 were produced.
