Fendt

Introduced in 2015, the 1000 Vario series was updated in autumn 2025 to the Gen4 generation. Earlier updates to the range had been minor apart from the FendtONE user interface introduced for 2021, and no major changes were made this time either. The MAN low-speed engines had received modifications to the pistons, crankshaft, and injectors so that the power and torque curves were broader than before. Improved fuel efficiency was also promised. In the most powerful model, the 1052 Vario, maximum output with boost now reached 550 hp. A new feature introduced for the more powerful models was the Fendt Adaptive Power function, which allows the operator to select the engine control maps of the smaller models when full power is not required for lighter work.

As in the 800 series, a highly configurable work light package was added to the options list, with its 120,500-lumen rating likely being the brightest yet seen on a tractor. Minor changes were made to the cab and interior. The drivetrain remained the VarioDrive TA400, which enabled variable distribution of drive between the front and rear axles depending on conditions. A top speed of 60 km/h was achieved at 1,450 rpm. Transmission oil changes were required every 4,000 hours and hydraulic oil every 2,000 hours. Hydraulic output, with two pumps, was 430 l/min.

Tractors

Fendt 1040-1052 Vario Gen4

In Fendt's extensive model update in autumn 2025, the 300 Vario was updated to the Gen5 generation. The most significant update was the DynamicPerformance extra power, which released 10 horsepower more power in each model when it was needed, for example, due to the power take-off, compressed air system or air conditioning. The engines were still 4.4-liter Agco Powers. The transmission was the ML75, which enables a top speed of 40 km/h with one range gear.

The output of the hydraulic variable displacement pump was now 110 l/min as standard. For front loader use, a separate central valve is a new feature, which means that oil no longer needs to be taken to the loader from the rear valves. Three electric valve blocks were standard. Apple CarPlay, or the integration of the iPhone into the armrest display, was also new. The same equipment as the larger models was available as an option, namely a heated and laminated windshield and trailer brake assist.

In addition to the basic Power model, the Profi model also had cab suspension, a multifunction joystick and swivelling front mudguards. The Profi+ model had a 12” display, the basic guidance system package and steering acceleration.

Fendt 310-314 Vario Gen5

The 800 Vario returned to the Fendt range as the Gen5 generation in autumn 2025. It had same wheelbase as the previous generation 900 S4 series. The engines were Agco Power's new 8.0-liter Core80 low-speed engines. Nominal outputs were 260…320 horsepower and an additional 23 hp was available when power was needed for the radiator fan, compressed air system, air conditioning or hydraulic pump. Nominal speed was 1700 rpm.

The transmission was a single-range VarioDrive TA250, with separate hydrostatic motors on the front and rear axles, which enabled the drive ratio to be adjusted between the axles, automatic four-wheel drive and a turning circle of 11.35 meters thanks to the pull-in-turn feature. A speed of 60 km/h was reached at 1450 rpm.

Two pumps provided 385 l/min of hydraulic output. The payload was 7.6 tons and the total weight was 17.5 tons. The engine and cab air filters were automatically self-cleaning.

The cab frame was the same larger version as in the 900 series. A new roof was designed for the cab, with new bus-controlled work lights. As an optional extra, they had versatile programmable adjustment options. Apple CarPlay was also new.

As an optional extra, a heated fuel pre-filter, an integrated tire pressure control system and an engine brake + hydraulic auxiliary brake were available. The reversing device enabled the control console to be turned 180 degrees with pneumatic assistance.

Fendt 826-832 Vario Gen5

The popular four-cylinder Fendt 500 Vario was updated to the Gen 4 generation in autumn 2025. The engines were changed from Deutz to Agco Power. The Core50 engines were 5.0 liters and had a maximum output of 134…164 hp. There was an additional 10 hp when power was needed for the radiator fan, air conditioning or hydraulic pump. The nominal speed was 1900 rpm. The engine did not require exhaust gas recirculation.

The transmission was changed to the new VarioDrive TA120, which no longer had a range gear. Like the larger models, the front and rear axles now had separate hydrostatic motors, which allowed for adjusting the drive ratio between the axles and automatic four-wheel drive. The solution also helped reduce the turning circle to 10.1 meters. 50 km/h was reached at 1600 rpm. The transmission oil change interval was 4,000 hours and the hydraulic oil 2,000 hours.

Up to 10 hydraulic valves were available for the Profi+ models. A separate central valve enabled the use of a front loader regardless of the situation. The lifting capacity was 7,890 kg and the hydraulic output was 109 or 152 l/min. The power take-off was four-speed as standard. The new axles enabled a payload of 4.9 tonnes and a total weight of 11.75 tonnes.

The standard equipment (Power) included, among other things, mechanical cab suspension, front axle suspension, a compressed air system and 3 hydraulic electric blocks. Power+ had a 12” terminal, steering acceleration and basic automation systems packages. Optional equipment included a fully integrated VarioGrip tire pressure control system, hydraulic auxiliary brake, trailer brake assist, fan cleaning function and laminated/heated windshield.

Fendt 513-516 Vario Gen4

Fendt introduced the world's largest conventional tractor, the 1000 Vario, at Agritechnica in the autumn of 2015. By many measures, it was clearly a larger tractor than the 900 series: for example, it weighed 14 tons instead of 11. However, the price of the smallest model in the series was not significantly higher than that of the similarly powered 939. The engine in the 1000 series was a 12.4-liter MAN. The emission technology used was simply SCR. The highest power was reached at 1500-1700 rpm and the highest torque at 1000-1500 rpm. A speed of 60 km/h was achieved at 1450 rpm. The front axle had brakes and independent suspension. Traction could be automatically distributed between the front and rear axles based on grip. An optional tire pressure control system was available.

The cab was new and larger, called the Life Cab. The equipment levels were very similar to those of the 900 series. The base model was PowerPlus, which included, among other things, a 7” Vario terminal, headland automation, TMS, mechanical cab suspension, and automatic air conditioning. The Profi model differed only in having a multi-function joystick. The ProfiPlus had a 10.4” Vario terminal, VarioDoc field data recording, and continuously variable steering.

The 1050 Vario was, among other things, selected Tractor of the Year in 2016. During the first four years, 2000 tractors of the 1000 series were manufactured.

Between 2017 and 2020, the 1000 series Vario was sold in the USA under the Challenger brand.

For 2021 models FendtOne user interface was introduced.

Here is the translated text:

In the 2020 model year, the Fendt 900 Vario series introduced low-speed technology and transferred the technology of the 1000 series down to a slightly smaller class. The engines were Stage V compliant 9.0-liter MAN engines, which, depending on the model, reached their maximum power already at 1350-1600 rpm. The maximum torque occurred between 1150 and 1350 rpm. The maximum torque was about 20% greater than in previous models. A speed of 50 km/h was reached at only 1200 rpm and 60 km/h at 1450 rpm. Engine oil was changed every 1000 hours.

Like the 1000 series, traction could be distributed automatically between the front and rear axles based on grip. In headland turns, the so-called pull-in-turn feature could actively pull the tractor into the turn by increasing the speed of the front wheels. As an option, two hydraulic pumps (220 + 210 l/min) were available, and two hydraulic circuits could be supplied with different pressures and flows. The standard pump delivered 165 l/min. The Life Cab cabin was similar to that of the 1000 series.

Even the smallest model now had 42-inch wheels, and the largest had 44-inch wheels. There were four equipment levels. The base model Power included, among other things, engine speed memory, headland automation, mechanical cab suspension, automatic air conditioning, separate suspension for the front axle wheels, and a pneumatic braking system. The PowerPlus version also featured a basic ISOBUS package and was ready for automatic steering. The Profi version differed from Power by having a new multifunction joystick, which also included hydraulic controls as well as dual cruise control and engine speed memories. ProfiPlus completed the equipment with a 10.4-inch Varioterminal and a VarioDoc system that recorded field section data. With the optional tire pressure control system, dual tires could also be supplied. The Fendt 942 Vario was selected as Tractor of the Year 2020.

Fendt 930-942 Vario

The completely redesigned seventh-generation Fendt 700 Vario was unveiled in autumn 2022, with deliveries promised for autumn 2023. Its engine is a 7.5-liter Agco Power AP75 low-speed unit developed specifically for Fendt, with no exhaust-gas recirculation or variable turbo. Maximum power is reached at 1,700 rpm and the torque is significantly higher than in previous 700-series tractors. The torque-boost feature is offered only on the 728 model—and even there it isn’t limited by, for example, ground speed or PTO use. As on the 1000 series, the cooling fan is hydraulically driven, which is said to save fuel and free up space at the front.

In terms of specs, the 700 Gen7 is roughly on a par with the 800 series. Standard hydraulic flow is 165 l/min and the lift capacity is 11 tonnes. Thanks to the new VarioDrive transmission control, the operator doesn’t need to worry about range changes or engaging four-wheel drive—front and rear axles each have their own hydraulic units. A top speed of 50 km/h is reached at 1,200 rpm, and on the 726 and 728 models, 60 km/h at 1,450 rpm. The pneumatic dual-circuit brakes come standard with a single pedal. Tyre pressures can be adjusted from the in-cab terminal via the optional VarioGrip system. Despite overall dimensions having grown into the 800-series class, the turning circle has been reduced from 11.0 m to 10.0 m, thanks in part to the transmission’s ability to speed up the front wheels during turns.

The cab’s basic structure remains unchanged. The FendtONE concept terminal is a 12-inch display in the armrest; an optional second display can be fitted in the roof and retracted into the headliner. Optional extras include an electrically adjustable seat with memory and a four-stage air filtration system that protects, for example, against chemicals. For the hydraulics there are also optional high-flow flat-face couplings, which are easy to keep clean.

The fall 2025 Gen7.1 update brought 20 horsepower extra power to all models and a 60 km/h version to the 724, 726, and 728 models.
