FENDT FARMER 108LS POWER

Engine 73.8hp / 55.0kW

ENGINE DETAIL

The Fendt Farmer 108LS is powered by an MWM D226-4 diesel engine, notable for its 73.8 horsepower output at a rated 2300 RPM, which offers a balance of efficiency and power for moderate agricultural tasks. Its 4-cylinder, 4.2L displacement with a bore and stroke of 4.13 x 4.72 inches provides high torque at lower RPMs, making it suitable for plowing and heavy towing. However, the electric 12V starter may present challenges in cold weather environments, necessitating appropriate maintenance and battery precautions for reliable performance.

FENDT FARMER 108LS ENGINE

The Fendt Farmer 108LS is powered by a robust MWM 4.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing reliable torque for agricultural tasks. Its 23.2-gallon (87.8L) fuel tank ensures extended operational hours, reducing downtime for refueling during intensive farming activities. However, the 4-cylinder engine may limit power output compared to larger models, making it less suitable for heavy-duty applications such as plowing large fields.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Fendt Farmer 108LS features a 13-speed synchronized transmission along with a 16-speed creeper option, allowing for excellent torque management and fine speed control, ideal for plowing or other precision tasks. The synchronized transmission minimizes wear during shifting under load, enhancing operational efficiency. However, the complexity of this system may require more maintenance and operator training to maximize performance benefits.

FENDT FARMER 108LS TIRES

The Fendt Farmer 108LS offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with 4WD enhancing traction and stability, especially on uneven or slippery terrains. The standard tire sizes indicate a versatile design suitable for various agricultural applications, with wider rear tires providing better load distribution and reduced soil compaction. However, 2WD may be less effective in challenging conditions compared to its 4WD counterpart, which can be crucial for tasks that require greater maneuverability and power delivery.

2WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 7.50-18. Rear: 13.6/12-38
4WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 11.2/10-24. Rear: 13.6/12-38

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Fendt Farmer 108LS features a compact 2WD and slightly longer 4WD wheelbase, enhancing maneuverability on smaller fields while the weight range (7275 to 8113 pounds) provides stability during operations. The front tire specification (7.50-18) is suitable for light agricultural tasks, while the 13.6/12-38 rear tires contribute to traction efficiency in varied terrains. However, the limitations of the 2WD system may hinder performance in slippery conditions, suggesting that the 4WD configuration would be advantageous for heavier traction needs.
