When things get tight, the Fendt 500 Vario Gen4 shows how pioneering technology and well thought-out design work together perfectly. With a turning circle of only 33.1 feet, it masters all cramped conditions, such as loader work, narrow courtyard entrances and tight headlands with impressive ease. This is made possible by the ingenious VarioDrive drivetrain, which actively pulls the separately driven front axle into the turn thanks to the so-called pull-in-turn effect. This ensures an up to 10% smaller turning circle with simultaneously full tractive force without tension in the drivetrain. The compact design of the tractor additionally supports this agile handling and ensures that precise and safe manoeuvring can also be done with front and rear implements. Thanks to the parking position, the 500 Vario Gen4 remains extremely mobile in the team, as collisions of drawbars with the lower link are prevented. Whether stacking bales in the yard, maneuvering, for example, with the baler in the field or during transport through narrow locations – the Fendt 500 Vario Gen4 takes manoeuvrability to a new level.

Model overview

AGCO Power CORE50
The AGCO Power CORE50 sets new standards in engine technology with its Fendt iD low-speed concept. With a cubic capacity of 5.0 litres for four cylinders, it offers impressive power reserves with maximum fuel efficiency, as neutral measurements by DLG on behalf of profi Landtechnikmagazin (06/25) show in the Fendt 600 Vario, which has installed the same engine generation.
The engines of the CORE family are approved for the use of alternative fuels such as HVO in accordance with DIN EN 15940 – an important contribution to reducing the CO2 footprint. Thanks to the Fendt iD low speed concept, the engine is particularly efficient: The speed range is from 800/950 rpm in idle mode to a low 1,900 rpm at rated speed. This ensures a quiet, fuel-efficient operation. Maintenance-free hydraulic tappets enable automatic valve clearance adjustment and contribute to low-vibration operation. The engine of the Fendt 500 Vario Gen4 is impressive with its quiet running, low consumption and particularly low-maintenance operation – ideal for daily use under demanding conditions.

Efficient radiator cleaning for maximum performance
During dust-intensive work and working with front implements, such as mowing, mulching or soil cultivation, there may be deposits in the area of the radiator, which requires additional cleaning and work interruption. The optional reversible fan ensures reliable cleaning of the air intake in such situations. The control is done hydraulically, whereby the fan blades are specifically adjusted and the air flow is briefly reversed.
The reverse function enables effective self-cleaning of the radiator grille – can be activated manually or automatically in the terminal. Particularly under demanding operating conditions, it contributes to a permanently free air flow, constant radiator performance and significantly lower fuel consumption. In combination with the Fendt iD low-speed concept, this not only increases efficiency, but also reduces maintenance costs.

Automatically optimal – with automatic maximum load 2.0 and TMS
With the advanced automatic maximum load 2.0 in combination with the Tractor Management System (TMS), work is always done in the optimum performance range. The TMS automatically adjusts the engine speed and the gear ratio optimally, while the maximum load control determines how far the speed may drop at maximum under load before the transmission adjusts. All you have to do is set the desired speed – the system takes care of the rest automatically. The result: noticeable fuel savings, higher efficiency and convincing work results
Intelligence combined with performance: The VarioDrive drivetrain
The single-stage Fendt VarioDrive drive concept with independent, torsion-free four-wheel drive is already familiar from the Fendt 600 Vario, Fendt 700 Vario, Fendt 900 Vario and Fendt 1000 Vario series. The drivetrain stands for stepless, dynamic driving at any speed from 0.02 to 50 km/h, an independent, variable four-wheel drive up to 25 km/h and a 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%. This allows for easier and more precise manoeuvring. In addition, with VarioDrive, power transmission remains tension-free even when cornering, which ensures maximum protection of the soil – in particular the topsoil and the grass sward in the grassland.
Fendt Torque Distribution provides permanent tractive power by intelligently distributing the torque to the axle with the best grip. This minimises the slippage, the tractor has maximum traction and optimum power transmission.
In addition, there is the extended replacement interval of the transmission oil, from 2,000 operating hours or 2 years to 4,000 operating hours or 4 years – this significantly reduces maintenance costs.

A tractor.
Countless possibilities.
Maximum hydraulic power.
With a volume flow rate of up to 109 or 152 l/min, the Fendt 500 Vario provides the necessary hydraulic power for demanding applications – efficiently, precisely and reliably. The load sensing pump ensures fast, demand-oriented oil supply and maximum control precision. In the rear, up to five control units are available, at the maximum of two and an additional two or three via the multi-coupler – ideal for the use of front and rear mowers, tedders, rakes, sowing combinations and many more.
In addition, the Fendt 500 Vario Gen4 can be equipped with Power Beyond connections, which enables particularly precise and low-loss control of the hydraulic functions. The implement is only supplied with oil when it actually requires hydraulic power. Flat-sealing FFC couplings can be optionally fitted. Whether in grassland, agriculture or special crops – the Fendt 500 Vario Gen4 adapts flexibly to a wide range of applications.

Always in the correct speed range
The standard four-speed PTO (540/540E/1000/rpm) enables particularly efficient work. Thanks to the four selectable speeds, the PTO can always be operated in the optimum performance range. This not only increases productivity, but also significantly reduces fuel consumption. The electrohydraulic preset and the ECO modes enable particularly efficient work – combined with the high operating comfort of the FendtONE operating concept. Additional operating elements on both fenders in the rear make it easier to operate outside the tractor cab, save distances and increase efficiency in daily use.

Automatic function and stationary mode
The automatic function of the Fendt 500 Vario Gen4 enables simplified operation and efficiency. Switching the rear PTO on and off can be assigned to a button on the control lever and occurs automatically at predefined positions of the power lift. In stationary mode, a saved PTO speed can be called up when the PTO is externally activated. For example, when filling the slurry tank, entering the cab becomes superfluous.

VarioGrip tire pressure regulation system
The fully integrated Fendt VarioGrip tire pressure regulation system is already in use in over 8,000 Fendt tractors and increases the overall productivity of the machine. This proven technology is now also being used in the Fendt 500 Vario Gen4. An optimally adjusted tire pressure in the field reduces slippage and soil pressure, increases soil fertility and tractive performance by up to 8%*. In addition, up to 8% fuel* savings. When driving on the road, the rolling resistance and also the tire wear is significantly reduced. Fendt VarioGrip is available for both flanged and stub axles.

VisioPlus cab.
Comfort that inspires.
A large part of the working day in agriculture takes place on the tractor – all the more important is a workplace that offers more than just functionality. The Fendt 500 Vario Gen4 is equipped with a generous panoramic window, which allows an impressive vertical 77° field of view. Ideal for precise work with the front loader even at overhead height without contorting yourself to keep a view. Areas outside the direct field of vision are reliably covered by electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors as well as the front and rear cameras. When it rains, the 300° window wipers provide a perfect view of the wheel inlets and the area directly in front of the tractor. Even in the dark, an overview is maintained thanks to the sophisticated cross illumination of the work lights.
Fogged up windows are a thing of the past: The heated front window made of laminated safety glass (LSG) ensures a clear view at all times. At the same time, it offers optimum protection against stone chips and contributes to a calm, pleasant indoor climate thanks to the additional noise insulation.

Premium comfort thanks to the premium driver's seat
The new Fendt 500 Vario Gen4 not only focuses on sitting – it is on comfort at a completely new level. Thanks to the memory function, the premium air-suspended leather seat automatically adapts to the rider's profile, once you have the perfect sitting position every time in a second – comfortable and ergonomic. Since it can also be bumpy in the field, the progressive damping in combination with a low-frequency suspension ensures effective absorption of shocks and vibrations. Ergonomic details such as adaptive side supports and individually adjustable back support including lumbar support and rotary adapters promote health and offer noticeable relief – especially on long working days. The seating concept is rounded off by three-stage seat heating and seat climate control as well as a massage function.

GroundVision drawbar lighting: When the night becomes a work day
With the innovative GroundVision lighting concept, the work area behind the tractor remains optimally illuminated even in the dark. Two integrated fender spotlights provide 1,700 lumens – for a clear view of the rear implement area and maximum control with every movement.
The system shows its strengths, especially when working at night with the disc harrow or when monitoring the pick-up on forage wagons or balers. The targeted illumination of the rear implement area ensures full control, increases work safety and increases productivity – even during long periods of use until late at night.

One is simple: FendtONE.
Working is even more fun with the FendtONE workstation in the Fendt 500 Vario Gen4. The high-resolution dashboard and the individually configurable terminal offer an intuitive user interface that can be perfectly adapted to the needs of the driver. All operating elements are ergonomically combined in the armrest – clearly arranged, within reach and logically arranged. The multi-function joystick and the 3L-Joystick enable precise control with flexible button assignment. This makes daily work not only easier, but also significantly more efficient. FendtONE onboard in the tractor combines FendtONE offboard in the office to create a consistent digital working environment – for more clarity, control and comfort in every field.

Fendt Cargo front loader
The second generation of the Cargo front loader is impressive with its sophisticated technology, fast handling and high safety. Thanks to Cargo Lock, the new multi-coupler with automatically closing dirt flap and shut-off supports with toothed profile, tool-free attachment and detachment is particularly efficient. In addition to the mechanical locking, there is also a hydraulic version for the tool change, which can be conveniently locked and unlocked from the tractor in any position.
The front loader is controlled ergonomically via the crossgate lever or optionally via the 3L-Joystick. For standard requirements, the S-arm has been optimised for best visibility and low weight. Sensitive parts such as the valve technology are still well protected in the frame. For versions with a 3rd valve or Profi variants, there is an arm with a higher crossbeam to safely accommodate the additional components. With implements such as a light-goods buckets, universal buckets, pallet forks, large bale forks or round baler tines, the Cargo Gen 2 is robust, productive and optimally matched to the tractor. An additional hydraulic function on the attachment can be particularly efficiently operated for front loaders with a 3rd valve. This allows simultaneous lifting, tilting and, for example, gripping with a bale tines or gripper shovel.
