Fendt 309 Vario vs Fendt Farmer 308LS

Verdict: Fendt 309 Vario vs Fendt Farmer 308LS

The Fendt 309 Vario and the Fendt Farmer 308LS are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Fendt 309 Vario leads on rated power with 79 hp against 78 hp. Fendt Farmer 308LS is the lighter machine (8,080 kg vs 8,378 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
