2. Market Trends and Observations
Fendt 720 Market Dynamics
The Fendt 720 Vario maintains strong demand due to its reputation for build quality and the efficiency of the stepless Vario transmission. This model is highly sought after by large-scale farming operations and contractors.
Impact of Operating Hours
Operating hours are the single most critical factor driving price variation in the comparable set.
- Low-Hour Premium: Tractors with fewer than 3,000 hours command prices well over £150,000, demonstrating the market's willingness to pay a premium for minimal wear (e.g., £158,750 for 2,725 hours).
- High-Hour Discount: The two lowest-priced 2020 models (£71,950 and £73,500) have much higher hours (6,963 and 8,972), which justifies their lower prices.
Price Dispersion
The significant gap between the highest (£158,750) and lowest (£71,950) prices highlights the necessity of applying appropriate adjustments based on hours and condition.
