The novel design of the drive train allows the ideal torque distribution to front and rear wheels for optimal traction and tractive power. The drive train is based on a hydraulic pump and two hydro motors. The first hydro motor supplies the rear axle with uninterrupted torque via hydrostatic-mechanical power splitting from 0 km/h to 60 km/h. The second hydraulic motor serves the front axle. Through feedback to the rear axle, from the ground or through the intelligently controlled four-wheel clutch, the front axle drive also becomes part of the hydrostatic-mechanical power splitting.
Drives your success – at full power.
From Vario to VarioDrive
The Fendt Vario stands for stepless, dynamic driving with plenty of engine power at any speed from 0.02 km/h to 60 km/h. The new Fendt 1000 drive has been specifically developed with the aim of transmitting high engine horsepower in any situation, regardless of ground conditions, and therefore keeping the engine speeds very low. The solution: Fendt VarioDrive – the drive train that drives both axles independently for the first time.
VarioDrive drive train – a master in power distribution
Variable 4WD: Gives you 500 hp
Conventional four-wheel drives usually have a fixed torque ratio between the front and rear axle. Fendt VarioDrive enables a variable four-wheel drive. The torque is essentially distributed to both axles via two gearbox outputs. Thanks to the intelligently-controlled 4WD clutch, torque displacement takes place when required between the axles. This is called Fendt Torque Distribution.
