Fendt 712-718 Vario

Fendt’s popular 700 Vario series was revamped in the autumn of 2006 at the same time as the new 300- and 400-series models. The model numbers were bumped up in line with the smaller series—so, for example, the 714 now has 10 hp less rated power than before. The largest model, the 718, is nevertheless more powerful than the previous top model, the 716.

The new engines are 6.06-liter Deutz units featuring 4-valve technology and other state-of-the-art solutions. A top speed of 50 km/h is reached at 1,700 rpm. Transmissions are now the ML 160 version, except on the 718, which uses the ML 180. The front axles of the 712 and 714 have also been beefed up.

Lift capacity has been increased to 8.5 tonnes even on the smaller models. Standard tires are wider than before, and all models can also be fitted with 42″ rear wheels. Overall weight has grown by about 500 kg. The cab remains largely unchanged, with a noise level of 72 dB. Standard equipment includes mechanical cab suspension, an air-suspended seat, and air conditioning.
