FENDT 208 ENGINE
The Fendt 208 is powered by a Deutz 4.3L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering a balance between efficient fuel consumption and adequate power output for diverse agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 15.9 gallons (60.2 liters), operators can maintain longer working hours before needing to refuel, enhancing productivity in the field. However, depending on the operational demands, the relatively smaller fuel tank might require more frequent stops in high-consumption scenarios, such as heavy tillage.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Fendt 208 features a 21-speed synchromesh transmission with a shuttle function, allowing for seamless gear transitions and efficient direction changes. This results in enhanced maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces or during field operations. However, the complexity of a 21-speed system may require more maintenance and operator training compared to simpler transmission designs.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Fendt 208 tractor features a synchromesh transmission with a total of 21 forward and 6 reverse gears, offering enhanced operational flexibility and efficiency across various tasks. The dual-range system (low/high) combined with a three-speed splitter (L/M/S) provides precise control over speed and torque, making it suitable for both transport and fieldwork applications. However, the complexity of this transmission may require additional operator training to fully leverage its capabilities.
| Type | synchromesh |
| Gears | 21 forward and 6 reverse |
| Description | Three gears (1-3), plus reverse (R), in two ranges (low/high) with three-speed splitter (L/M/S). Additional three overdrive gears (25/30/40). |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Fendt 208 tractor features a versatile shuttle transmission with a total of 21 forward and reverse gears, allowing for precise control in various operational scenarios. The three gears in both low and high ranges, combined with a three-speed splitter, enable optimal performance in diverse applications, from fieldwork to hauling. The additional overdrive gears (25/30/40) enhance speed capabilities, though operators must be cautious, as managing such a range can increase complexity during precise maneuvering.

MECHANICAL
The Fendt 208 features a robust 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, optimizing traction and stability in diverse terrain, suitable for both fieldwork and transport operations. Its hydraulic disc brakes provide superior stopping power and reliability under heavy loads, enhancing safety. The 21-speed synchromesh transmission allows for seamless gear transitions, improving efficiency and adaptability in variable working conditions, though it may require a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with advanced gear systems.

FENDT 208 TIRES
The Fendt 208 tractor features standard agricultural tires of size 320/80R20 in the front and 420/85R30 in the rear, which provide a balanced load distribution and optimal traction for diverse field conditions. Optional tire configurations, such as 405/70R20 and 480/70R30, allow for customization based on specific tasks, enhancing versatility for various applications from tillage to hauling. When selecting tire sizes, consider the trade-off between stability and ground pressure; larger tires can offer improved flotation in soft soils but may increase the risk of soil compaction.
