Fendt Farmer 308 Ci or Ford 7810?
Which should you choose?
The data can’t decide this. Power at the PTO shaft cannot be compared: the Farmer 308 Ci has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 7810 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- The Fendt Farmer 308 Ci suits road haulage better on this data: 33% (10.0 km/h / 6.2 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.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The Fendt Farmer 308 Ci has 31% more forward gears (5 gears) than the Ford 7810 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 308 Ci has 33% more top speed (10.0 km/h / 6.2 mph) than the Ford 7810 (both top speed forward, as stated by the source).
- The Fendt Farmer 308 Ci offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the Ford 7810 does not (as stated by the sources).
- The Fendt Farmer 308 Ci is newer: production began 15 years later. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Even on hydraulic flow (both pump flow, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on weight (both unladen weight, as stated by the source): the difference is under the 10% threshold, too small to call.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Not comparable on power at the PTO shaft: the Farmer 308 Ci has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft; the 7810 has only engine power (gross or net not stated), claimed — a different quantity from power at the shaft.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the Farmer 308 Ci: lift through the full range at an unstated point, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Fendt Farmer 308 Ci”); the 7810: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Ford 7810”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
