FENDT FARMER 108LS POWER
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.

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.
