TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Fendt Farmer 309LS features a 15-speed synchromesh transmission that enhances gear shifting efficiency and operator comfort in varying terrain. Its optional 21-speed gearbox offers increased versatility for precision work and optimal power management across diverse applications. The primary advantage lies in the superior torque distribution, but it may require higher maintenance attention and operator training to fully leverage its capabilities.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Fendt Farmer 309LS features a synchromesh transmission with 15 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for precise speed management and enhanced control during various operations. The 310mm hydraulic disc clutch offers smooth engagement and enhances durability under heavy loads, making it suitable for both fieldwork and transportation tasks. However, operators may face a learning curve with gear selection for optimal efficiency, especially when transitioning between low and high ranges or utilizing overdrive gears.

Type synchromesh
Gears 15 forward and 4 reverse
Clutch 310mm hydraulic disc
Description Three gears (1-3), plus reverse (R), in two ranges (low/high) with two-speed torque converter (L/S). Additional three overdrive gears for road speed

TRANSMISSION 2

The Fendt Farmer 309LS features a versatile 21 forward and 6 reverse gear configuration, enhancing its adaptability for various farming tasks. Its three-speed torque converter (L/M/S) coupled with overdrive gears allows for efficient power management and optimized road speed, making it ideal for both field work and transport. However, the complexity of the gear system may pose a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-range transmissions.

MECHANICAL

The Fendt Farmer 309LS features a versatile 4x2 or 4WD configuration, allowing for adaptability in various field conditions; however, the 4WD may increase operational complexity and maintenance. The power steering enhances maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces, while the wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power under heavy load. With the option for a 21-speed transmission, operators can benefit from improved efficiency and control during variable speed tasks, although it may require a learning curve to master all gear selections.

FENDT FARMER 309LS TIRES

The Fendt Farmer 309LS offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with tire options tailored for varying agricultural needs. The 4WD setup enhances traction and stability, especially in challenging terrains, while the optional wider rear tires (18.4R34) can improve flotation and reduce soil compaction during heavy field operations. Choosing 2WD may be advantageous for tasks on firmer ground or lighter loads, but it could compromise performance in muddy or uneven conditions.
