Fendt Favorit 600 SL – 615 SL

The Favorites were updated for the year 1976 and now carried the model designation SL instead of S. The appearance already largely corresponded to the Favorites of the 1980s. The entire lineup grew to the dimensions of the 614, and the weights increased significantly. Perhaps the most significant change, however, was the modern, quiet cab installed above rubber pads.

The 610 SL received the same 6.2-liter engine as the rest of the lineup, and power increased to 90 hp. The range was first expanded at the top end with the introduction of the 150-horsepower 615 SL. In 1978, the smallest model in the lineup, the 600 SL (85 hp), was introduced, equipped with MWM’s 5.65-liter engine. At this stage, the 610’s engine was also downsized to 5.65 liters.

The standard transmission was still a 16+7 gearbox. A new option was a 20+9 gearbox with even slower crawling speeds. The gear levers were moved to the side. An air conditioning system was available as an option. The lifting capacities were greater than before.
