The new Fendt 300 Vario Gen5 and the new Fendt 500 Vario Gen4 will make their Irish debut at FTMTA. The two new models join a comprehensive tractor line up including the 600 Vario, 700 Vario Gen7.1 and the new Fendt 800 Vario Gen5.
“These new smaller tractors have many features consistent with our larger machines, including similar cabs and our FendtONE operating system. Both are well suited to the Irish market and we are looking forward to showing them at FTMTA,” says Sean Gorman, Fendt area sales manager for Ireland.
300 Vario
The Fendt 300 Vario Gen5 features AGCO’s Power 44HD four-cylinder engine which delivers a maximum output of up to 152 hp with Dynamic Performance providing an additional 10 hp when required. The 300 also provides up to seven independent hydraulic valves, including two or three for the front loader.
The FendtONE workstation connects field and office through a consistent user interface. Field data and orders can be scheduled on a computer or smart device and sent directly to the machine. This system is shared in the larger 500 Vario Gen4 which uses AGCO’s Power CORE50 engine across four models (Fendt 513, 514, 515 and 516 Vario), with power outputs from 134 to 164 hp.
“FTMTA is the right place to show these tractors for the first time in Ireland. Irish farms demand versatility, whether that’s dairy, livestock, tillage or contracting, and the new 300 and 500 fit that mix well. The 300 Gen5 is a natural front loader tractor for yard work and grassland, while the 500 Gen4 brings VarioDrive and a 4.9-tonne payload into a compact frame that suits Irish field sizes and road conditions,” he says.
600 Vario
To demonstrate the full range Fendt will also be showing the Fendt 600 Vario which offers 164 to 224 hp in a compact package with a payload of up to 5.8 tonnes.
The Fendt 700 Vario Gen7.1 spans 203 to 303 hp and has recorded the lowest diesel consumption in its class in independent testing.
Lastly, the Fendt 800 Vario Gen5 demonstrates its place as a leading draft work tractor with up to 343 hp, and a payload of 7.6 tonnes.
“With these four tractor ranges we now cover 100 to 343 hp with a consistent operating platform in FendtONE.
“I’d encourage anyone at the show to come to the stand and see what these machines can do,” says Gorman.
