Fendt Go Karts

CLAAS, Case IH, New Holland & DEUTZ-FAHR Go Karts
These four brands share identical pricing and are available from the XL size upward. They're slightly less common in Ireland than John Deere and Fendt, which makes them stand out more — if your child's favourite is a CLAAS Lexion or a New Holland, they'll be the only one on the road with that livery.
| Size / Drive | CLAAS | Case IH | New Holland | DEUTZ-FAHR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XL BFR | €999 | €999 | €999 | €999 |
| XL BFR-3 | €1,269 | €1,269 | €1,269 | €1,269 |
| XXL BFR | €1,125 | €1,125 | €1,125 | €1,125 |
| XXL E-BFR | €2,455 | €2,455 | €2,455 | €2,455 |
Each brand also has a matching branded passenger seat at €105 for the XL frame.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a John Deere go kart in Ireland?
BERG John Deere go karts range from €179 for the Buzzy (ages 2–5) to €2,455 for the XXL E-BFR electric model. The most popular John Deere kart, the XL BFR (ages 5 to adult), is €999 in 2026.
Is there a difference between John Deere and Fendt go karts besides colour?
No. All BERG farm brand go karts at the same size use the same frame, wheels, tyres, drive system, and build quality. The only differences are the branded colours, stickers, and styling details. The underlying kart is identical, so choose whichever brand your child prefers.
What's the best farm go kart for a 5-year-old?
For a 5-year-old, the Buddy (€399) is the ideal starting point with BFR braking and air tyres. However, if budget allows, the XL BFR (€999) is the better long-term investment because it adjusts from age 5 to adult — your child will never outgrow it.
Can adults ride BERG farm go karts?
Yes. The XL and XXL frames are designed for riders up to 100–110kg. The seat and steering column adjust to adult size. Many parents in Ireland ride their children's XL and XXL karts regularly — it's one of the main selling points of the larger frames.
