Already tried and tested: the intelligent VarioDrive drivetrain

The VarioDrive drivetrain has been impressive since the first generation of the Fendt 1000 Vario Series. It stands for continuous, dynamic driving at any speed from 0.01 to 31 mph, with an independent, variable all-wheel drive up to 15 mph and the smallest possible turning circle thanks to the pull-in turn effect. The result: maximum soil protection, higher efficiency, and less wear on the machine.

The pull-in turn effect reduces the turning circle by up to 10% compared to conventional four-wheel drive without the pull-in turn effect. This allows for easier and more precise maneuvering. Additionally, with VarioDrive, power transmission remains tension-free even when cornering, ensuring maximum soil protection and the best traction.

Fendt Torque Distribution provides permanent tractive power by intelligently distributing the torque to the axle with the best grip. This minimizes slippage, ensuring the tractor has maximum traction and optimal power transmission.

Less maintenance and clean air thanks to self-cleaning air filter for the engine and cab

Clean air for full performance – even under extremely dusty conditions such as soil cultivation, sowing or when using on construction sites. The automatic self-cleaning of the engine and cab air filter is done, passively by the negative pressure of the engine fan. In addition, there are short, situational air bursts that actively blow out the engine air filter. This prolongs the service life of the air filter many times over, the maintenance effort is reduced and you benefit from maximum efficiency, less downtime and permanently high performance.

The reversible fan ensures a constant supply of fresh air. By changing the direction of rotation, the current direction of the air can change and thus frees the hood of dirt and particles such as dust or straw – nothing stands in the way of intensive applications.

Pure tractive power

Thanks to the 550 hp and the powerful VarioDrive drivetrain, the Fendt 1000 Vario Gen4 effortlessly masters heavy towing work. With the well thought-out and innovative ballasting and tIre concept, you benefit from the maximum power development of the tractor in the field.
