The Fendt Favorit 824 is a tractor from Fendt's Favorit 800 series. The tractor was built from 1993 to 2004 in Marktoberdorf, Germany, with a total of 2,094 units produced. This makes it by far the best-selling model in the Favorit 800 series.

The Favorit 824 features an on-board computer (Bordrechner) and a comprehensive diagnostic system that monitors all tractor systems and stores fault codes – at the time an exceptional level of electronic integration for an agricultural tractor.

The in-cab noise level is just 72 dB. The cab is sprung at the rear with coil springs and hydraulically sprung at the front. From 1995, the front axle was also suspended.

Additional features:

• Hydropneumatic front axle suspension (from 1995)
