Additional Notes

  • Across all six variants of the Fendt Favorit 500 C series, the hydraulic brake system holds a capacity of 0.5 liter. In a hydraulic brake circuit, this figure represents the total fluid volume within the system rather than a reservoir-only measurement, reflecting the relatively compact brake circuit typical of agricultural tractors in this class.
  • The Favorit 509 C, 510 C, 511 C, 512 C, and 514 C all share an identical service interval structure: a fluid check at every 500 hours and a full fluid change at 2000 hours or 24 months, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger change interval is common in hydraulic brake systems because brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, degrading performance regardless of operating hours accumulated.
  • The Favorit 515 C carries a change interval expressed only in calendar time — 24 months — with no hour-based check interval listed. This differs from the other five variants, which carry both an hour-based check and a combined hour/calendar change interval.
  • The Favorit 511 C and Favorit 515 C both have a production start year of 1995, making them later introductions within the 500 C range compared to the 509 C, 510 C, 512 C, and 514 C, which all begin in 1993.
  • All six variants specify normal use conditions for the brake fluid service intervals. In agricultural equipment service schedules, normal use typically refers to standard field and road operation, as opposed to severe conditions that might involve extreme temperatures, heavy continuous braking, or prolonged exposure to contaminants.
  • The 500-hour check interval on the 509 C, 510 C, 511 C, 512 C, and 514 C serves as an intermediate inspection point between changes. At 500 hours, the fluid is assessed rather than replaced, allowing early detection of contamination or moisture ingress before the 2000-hour change threshold is reached.
