Fendt Favorit 611 LS – 615 LS

In 1984, the power of the Favorits was increased. The model range had been introduced in 1970, and the previous significant update with new cabins took place in 1979. The Favorits typically used new technology a few years earlier than the Farmers. For example, an electric lift device was introduced already in 1978, and now it became a standard feature. In 1984, the Turbomatik E was introduced, a hydraulic torque converter clutch that, by using a differential lock, could prevent slippage caused by the hydraulic clutch. It was initially standard in the 615 model. Other new features in 1984 included a digital dashboard, a viscous fan, and an air-sprung seat.

The Favorit's engine was an MWM 6.2-liter six-cylinder, turbocharged except for the 611. The transmission was ZF's new 20+9, and the top speed increased to 40 km/h. The front axle was also from ZF and equipped with a side driveshaft. Lifting capacity was increased to 7.4 tons in 1984.
