FENDT: FAVOURITE FOR LOCAL FARMERS
from TRACKS Issue 2
Right: The Hargreaves purchased a Fendt 724 and 828 with C&Ps Service+ contract, reducing the cost of ownership compared to rival brands
We caught up with David and Marshall Hargreaves of David Hargreaves Farms to find out why Fendt is top of their list when it comes to tractors.

The father and son team run an 800 acre mixed beef, sheep and arable farm in Wrea Green, Preston. The Hargreaves family have been Clarke & Pulman customers for many years and they were the obvious choice when looking to upgrade their current tractors last year. “Clarke & Pulman are a family business with family values, just like ourselves. Always approachable, friendly and offer a personal experience from start to finish," David explained. They purchased a Fendt 724 and a Fendt 828. Both tractors are equipped with Profi Plus, RTK GPS, and are of high specification. We asked Marshall and David what attracted them to the Fendt brand. “These two tractors are put through their paces daily and are used all year round. Mowing, bailing, carting grain, ploughing, sowing, grinding grain, chopping straw and other general winter jobs.” “The high power to weight ratios that Fendt boast makes the tractors versatile for all year-round use. The chassis size makes them easily manoeuvrable and practical around the yard and the high horsepower makes them fantastic in the field," added Marshall.
“We spend a lot of time in the cab and the driver experience is second to none in these tractors. It’s a smooth and comfortable drive, head and shoulders above its rivals”, smiled Marshall. So, after years of owning rival tractors, what made them go for not just one, but two Fendts? “Well, it’s simple. The overall build, quality and residual value make the Fendt tractor very affordable and great value for money. This, partnered with Clarke & Pulman’s Service+ contract giving us fixed priced service and warranty, means the cost of ownership is reduced when compared to rival brands, explained David. To this day Fendts are unbeaten in efficiency, dynamism and comfort. But don’t just take David and Marshall's word for it.
