Fendt 828 Vario or John Deere 8410 T?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the 828 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8410 T has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt 828 Vario suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 28% (33.1 L/min / 8.7 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
- The Fendt 828 Vario suits road haulage better on this data: 100% (30.0 km/h / 18.6 mph) more top speed.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

- The John Deere 8410 T is 27% heavier (2,515 kg / 5,545 lb) than the Fendt 828 Vario (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 828 Vario has 100% more top speed (30.0 km/h / 18.6 mph) than the John Deere 8410 T (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt 828 Vario is newer: production began 10 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Transmissions differ in kind: the Fendt 828 Vario is stepless (CVT) and the John Deere 8410 T has 16 forward gears — not called.
- Drive differs: the Fendt 828 Vario 4WD and the John Deere 8410 T Tracks — tracks and wheels are different kinds of running gear, not called.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the 828 Vario has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 8410 T has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- No call on PTO speeds: sources disagree on the PTO speeds of the 8410 T.
