Transmission

The productivity of a tractor, and therefore also the return on investment, is determined in great part by fuel consumption. But an economical engine is only one of the determining factors. It is just as important to maintain the engine at its economical optimum while achieving as high an area coverage as possible. No problem with the Vario drive concept from Fendt.

• Facilitates work while optimising fuel consumption
• Up to 10% greater area coverage thanks to optimally adjusted travel speed
• 50 km/h top speed at a fuel-saving 1700 rpm
• Up to 10% fuel savings
• Super crawler gears included (from 30 m/h)
• Joystick operation instead of several levers
• Turboclutch feature for greater driving comfort
• Stepless reversing of travel direction without wear
• Stop-and-go feature

When TMS is activated, the tractor electronics control the engine and transmission. This significantly increases operating comfort for the driver. The driver can choose between joystick or driving pedal control, and only needs to set the desired speed, TMS controls the rest.

Practical example: heavy-duty cultivation work at 10 km/h. TMS maintains the speed.

On the slope, the load increases, so TMS increases the engine speed. As soon as the load decreases again (on level ground or downhill), the quantity of fuel injected is reduced. This maintains an economical driving style since TMS drives the tractor at the lowest engine speed possible.

You will appreciate the operating comfort of the Vario, in particular, in row crop or tillage applications, where you often must operate the PTO controls in addition to the controls for the linkage. Vario offers you extensive, high-quality PTO management with start-up control.

• Three-speed PTO with electrohydraulic controls (540/540E/1000 rpm)
• Electrohydraulic PTO controls with start-up control
• PTO automatic mode
• External rear PTO controls on both sides

You have the choice of 540 rpm or 10000 rpm. In either case, you benefit from excellent efficiency, since the front PTO is driven directly from the engine’s crankshaft.
