Makes the working day a pleasure. Fendt 800 Vario

The fifth generation of the 800 Vario, with three models (Fendt 826, 829 and Fendt 832 Vario), sits at the power range from 260 to 320 hp (191 – 235 kW) in the Power+, Profi and Profi+ versions. The completely new developed series has the Fendt DynamicPerformance (DP) added power concept is available for all models and additionally releases 23 hp (17 kW) each when its required due to secondary consumers such as the cooling fan, oil pump or air-conditioning compressor. Under all operating conditions, the machine will always provides enough power for the main consumers such as the travel drive which increases productivity.

Designed to meet the requirements of contractors and large agricultural farms worldwide, the focus of the new development was on a powerful and manoeuvrable overall package with a high payload, low fuel consumption in various conditions and comfortable operations. The Fendt VarioDrive , the latest generation of the Vario transmission paired with the efficient 6-cylinder CORE80 engine with 8.0 litres cubic capacity, specially developed for Fendt, is pivotal for the low fuel consumption. Exhaust gas after-treatment takes place via a diesel oxidation catalytic converter (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF) and with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) without exhaust gas recirculation. It meets all the emission standards required worldwide. In the EU, this is the emission standard Stage V.

The single-stage Fendt VarioDrive drivetrain with permanent, independent four-wheel drive was first introduced in 2014 with the Fendt 1000 Vario and is now available for the first time in the Fendt 800 Vario series. This enables maximum tractive power with high soil protection on different subsoils. In addition, there is no need for manual shifting when switching between field and road. VarioDrive drives the front and rear axles independently of each other and distributes the power dynamically. Another advantage is the so-called pull-in turn effect. Thanks to the pull-in turn, the independently driven front axle actively pulls the machine into the turn without torsion and the Fendt 800 Vario achieves a particularly small turning circle.

The payload of a tractor decides which implement combinations are possible with the tractor. The low operating weight of 9.9 t with a permissible overall weight of up to 17.5 t with an approval for 40 and 50 km/h results in a payload of 7.6 t. This enables legal work in the team with a precision seed drill with a front tank or the legal transport of a front-rear mower combination. In addition, there are flexible options for ballasting at the front and on the rear wheels so that the machine runs optimally in field or road use.

The machine can be equipped with Tech Rails on the C-pillar for the installation of supplementary work lights or sensors in the future. The Tech Rails, including their own cable entry, provide space for up to two work lights per side. This means that the machines are prepared for future requirements.

As standard, the Fendt 800 Vario is now also equipped with the exclusive Concentric Air System (CAS) ventilation & cooling concept. The fan can be optionally equipped with a reverse function. In addition, a self-cleaning air filter including automatic control is optionally available for the CORE80 engine. If the engine air filter is cleaned automatically, drivers can carry out their field work without interruption, and regular cleaning increases the longevity of the machine and ensures optimum fuel consumption. This DLG awarded system is already known from the Fendt 1000 Vario. Now this option is always offered together with the automatic dust extraction for the cab air filter. In this system, the cab air filter is continuously and automatically passively cleaned by vacuum and a cyclone separator. This function has been specially developed for use in hot or particularly dusty conditions, such as cultivators in dry weather. It reduces daily maintenance and increases the air quality in the cab.

If the Fendt 800 Vario is used in winter service, the optional, heated laminated safety glass (LSG) front window makes visibility easier. The front window heating accelerates the defrosting, prevents renewed ice formation and fogging in case of snowfall. Thanks to its special composite process, it can better withstand contact with foreign matter. The glass with integrated splinter protection remains intact in the event of damage, so the driver is protected against injuries. In addition, the laminated glass front window dampens noise particularly well.

If the Fendt 800 Vario is used with an implement in the rear, such as a wood chipper or forestry mulcher, all control elements can be rotated by 180 degrees thanks to the optional reverse drive control. The reverse drive control thus allows a direct view of work implements. In addition to the 4-speed PTO, there is a separate PTO with 540/900/1000 rpm speeds, for example, for use with a wood chipper, to make optimum use of the motor's speed range.

Even when used at high outside temperatures, the performance of the air-conditioning system as standard, provides automatic comfortable temperatures in the cab. There is also a new compressor cooler with a volume of 12 litres. Drinks and food can be cooled (0-16°C). For high air quality in dusty operating conditions, the optional automatic dust extraction provides for the cab air filter.

Another new feature is the integration of Apple CarPlay into the Fendt infotainment via cable or Bluetooth. Already known from the automotive sector, operation is carried out via the terminal on the armrest. The software will be rolled out in June 2026.

Complex implements such as precision seed drills with integrated fertiliser tanks and high separation rates place high demands on the hydraulic system of a tractor. The Fendt 800 Vario now has a maximum of six hydraulic control units in the rear and two in the front (6+2). A maximum of 4 control units in the Power+ equipment line are available in the rear and one in the front (4+1) or five control units in the rear (5+0). Customers can also choose between three hydraulic pumps: 165 l/min, 220 l/min and for consumers with varying requirements in terms of oil quantity and pressure, a double pump system with a maximum flow capacity of 385 l/min (165 + 220 l/min) is available. If the implement transfers a particularly high amount of heat into the hydraulic system or if the tractor is used in hot regions, an optional additional hydraulic oil cooler improves the hydraulic oil cooling capacity. In the rear, the optional FFC flat-sealing couplings for control units and the Power Beyond connection prevent the dirt ingress into the system as well as leakage oil and reduce pressure losses. The relieving rear power lift transfers weight from the implement to the tractor for optimum ground hugging, for example when working with milling machines or mulchers. The lift assist for the top link takes over part of the weight from the top link and supports the work ergonomics when mounting implements.

The Fendt 800 Vario achieves a high overall productivity thanks to its versatility. Features such as VarioDrive, top speed of up to 60 km/h, the high payload, the comprehensive chassis and safety concept, the optional exhaust brake in conjunction with the hydraulic auxiliary brake, the self-centring Fendt Reaction Steering, Fendt Stability Control (FSC) or the Trailer Brake Assistant (TBA) characterise the series in transport. The trailer brake assistant displays its advantages, for example, in the team with an attached sprayer or a pneumatically braked trailer in the chopping chain. Then this keeps the team in line even in curves on the slope and prevents it from jack-knifing or drifting. The optional automatic parking brake and numerous axle and tyre options round out the package.

On large grassland areas, farmers and contractors need powerful technology with a high payload that works in a soil-friendly manner. They use suitable time windows efficiently even in unsafe weather conditions. Complex mowers combinations, such as a Fendt Slicer front mower and Fendt Slicer 1010 RCB PRO rear mower with conveyor belt, require sufficient payload to legally transport the mowers. The low empty weight of the machine, the optionally cooled front PTO, the Fendt VarioGrip tyre pressure regulation system and the full range of FendtONE onboard characterise the Fendt 800 Vario in grassland use. While the independent four-wheel drive from Fendt VarioDrive protects the sward and avoids forage contamination, Fendt VarioGrip reduces ground pressure. In addition, a position control and relief control for the front power lift is optionally available for the Fendt 800 Vario. For an optimal cutting pattern, the cutter bar is guided permanently with a constant pressure, regardless of the ground contour. Options such as GroundVision drawbar lighting or the LSG front window increase safety.

For the Fendt 800 Vario series, there are numerous options for track width, tyres and the Fendt VarioGrip tyre pressure regulation system. Depending on the local requirements, customers can now order the tractor as standard with a flange or a stub axis (3.0 m or 2.50 m). The 2.50 m stub axis is now also approved for 60 km/h and is the basis for the optional dual wheel hub. The dual wheel hub is a coupling system for dual wheels that allows the transfer of higher forces. The dual wheel hub transmits the power safely through the axles instead of the rims as in other systems. The track width of the dual wheels is adjusted in the 2.5 m version via flexible intermediate pieces (spacers).

Customers can choose between the front weights with 870 kg, 1.25 t or 1.8 t as required. Fendt newly offers an additional front weight of 2.2 t. The high material density of the front weights reduces the overall volume and thus enables relatively compact dimensions. The machine extends less far forward when loaded, and the weight contours leave the low beam and high beam lights unobstructed.
