Additional Notes

  • All six variants in the Fendt Favorit 500 C series share a uniform transaxle fluid capacity of 45 liters. A figure of this magnitude is characteristic of agricultural tractor transaxles, where the transmission, rear axle, and hydraulic system often share a common fluid reservoir rather than using separate, smaller sumps as found in automotive applications.
  • The Favorit 509 C, 510 C, 512 C, and 514 C carry production serial numbers beginning from 0001 with a start year of 1993, while the 511 C and 515 C share a start year of 1995, placing those two variants as later additions within the same generation.
  • The fluid change interval across all six variants is set at 2000 hours or 24 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. The dual-trigger format — combining an engine hour threshold with a calendar limit — reflects the reality that low-utilization equipment may sit for extended periods without accumulating hours, during which fluid degradation still occurs through moisture absorption and oxidation.
  • The Favorit 515 C is the only variant in the series that carries an additional fluid level check interval of 500 hours. A periodic check interval at 500 hours, set well before the 2000-hour change interval, serves as an intermediate inspection point to detect fluid loss or contamination without requiring a full drain and refill.
