Fendt specialist tractors with the stepless Fendt Vario gearbox have been inspiring more and more customers worldwide for the past ten years – for use in special crops such as wine, fruit and hops. The latest generation of the Fendt 200 VFP Vario specialist tractor series comes with the intuitive FendtONE operating concept, making it the first specialist tractor with a fully integrated terminal. There are added innovations like the demand-led power boost concept DynamicPerformance, and an all-new design. The new technology on the Fendt 200 VFP Vario enhances precision and everyday efficiency and makes it easier to comply with documentation requirements.
The Fendt 200 VFP Vario series of specialist tractors includes five models (Fendt 207 Vario, Fendt 208 Vario, Fendt 209 Vario, Fendt 210 Vario, Fendt 211 Vario) with outer widths ranging from 1.07 metres to 1.68 metres. The maximum power range of this series is 79 hp to 124 hp, in accordance with ECE R120. All models are available as Power, Profi and Profi+ (formerly ProfiPlus) versions. The top model Fendt 211 Vario achieves a maximum output of 124 hp with the power boost concept, DynamicPerformance.
The 3-cylinder, 3.3-litre AGCO Power engine meets emissions stage V with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) but without exhaust gas recirculation. There are also maintenance-free hydraulic tappets built into the engine. The electronically controlled Visctronic fan runs just when it is needed. It works quieter and saves fuel.
More space with new Fendt comfort cab
The Fendt 200 VFP Vario's new 4-pillar cab is more spacious than its predecessor and offers more headroom.
The new cab means the cab air filter system can be converted to protection category 4 ex works.In its basic configuration, it meets all the standards of a cab with protection category 2.
The filter system can also be upgraded to protection category 4 in accordance with EU standard EN15695, with protection against dust, liquid fertilisers and their vapours.
The Fendt 200 VFP Vario meets all requirements for plant protection use and keeps the driver safe.
Once the work is complete, the filter system can be easily converted via the terminal. There is a new control console with multifunction joystick for easy and intuitive machine operation.
The FendtONE operating concept includes a new control panel on the side with the multifunction joystick, crossgate lever and 12" terminal. In the Fendt 200 VFP Vario, the 12" terminal is built into the roof liner above the windscreen. The 10" digital dashboard is located at the front of the steering column. Its indicators include the driving speed, engine speed and fluid levels. The digital dashboard can be operated via the pushdial on the steering column. Machine settings are clearer and simpler to make.
Working in compact comfort
An optional front power lift relief-control system is available for the Fendt 200 P Vario. The field pressure is easy to finely adjust on the terminal – for better traction and excellent ground tracking. It promises improved climbing power and fantastic results even when switching from slopes to flat ground. The Fendt 200 VFP Vario also offers fully equipped implement attachments at the front, rear and on both sides for intermediate axle implements.
Long working days in the extreme wintry weather conditions can take their toll on the driver. Now they can work in complete comfort with our new cleverly designed footwell heating system, for improved working comfort during the winter months.
Fendt 200 VFP Vario Power
Drivers of the Fendt 200 VFP Vario Power model can enjoy a digital display area for the first time, with the 10" digital dashboard fitted as standard. This makes it much easier, faster and clearer to configure engine and gearbox functions and working hydraulics, among other things. The multifunction joystick opens up new control possibilities in the Fendt 200 VFP Vario Power. Now you can proportionally control two valves and adjust the active speed of the cruise control, all with the dial on the joystick. The joystick has buttons ready to be assigned to additional functions, like the hydraulics.
Fendt 200 VFP Vario Profi
The Fendt 200 VFP Vario Profi comes with the 10" digital dashboard as standard. You can also opt for the 12" terminal in the roof liner above the windscreen, to give the driver more display area. The terminal display can be configured to suit the driver.
With the standard load-sensing pump (LS) and optional 3L joystick, the Fendt 200 Vario Profi is perfectly equipped for using complex equipment. The 3L joystick can be used, among other things, to operate a leaf remover with an integrated function for the 3rd hydraulic circuit. Power Beyond connectors or two additional central hydraulic control units extend the hydraulic equipment from the Profi variant upwards. This gives you up to 8 proportional control units, including the front power lifts.
New systems with centimetre-accuracy on the Fendt 200 Vario Profi+
With Fendt 200 VFP Vario Profi+, even the narrow gauge tractor can boast the complete range of smart farming solutions adopted from our standard tractors, Fendt 300 Vario and Fendt 700 Vario. In addition to the Fendt Guide lane guidance system (formerly VarioGuide), Fendt 200 Vario Profi+ is available in the Agronomy module of Fendt Task Manager and Fendt Task Doc (formerly VarioDoc Pro).
With Fendt Task Manager, the farm manager can create job orders in the office or on the move and send them straight to the machine. Use Fendt Task Manager together with Fendt Guide and the RTK correction signal, and the Fendt 200 VFP Vario can drive down rows with centimetre-accuracy and process the fields more efficiently.
When spraying, you can avoid going over the same spot twice with your pesticides. Once the work is done, Fendt Task Doc can automatically send the job order to the office. This makes it easier to document the work carried out.
The 12" terminal can show various machine functions, lane guidance options, ISOBUS functions and attachment functions, and the display can be customised to suit the driver's needs. In special crops like wine, fruit or hop cultivation, a tracking system on the tractor or attachment makes the work much easier, especially when first planting. It's great for arranging piles and plants with centimetre-accuracy and getting the follow-up work done more easily and efficiently.
Lightweight and powerful
The innovative power-boost concept DynamicPerformance (DP) on the Fendt 211 VFP Vario releases 10 hp more power on demand, just when it's needed. It is not tied to driving speeds or special operational tasks, but works purely dynamically.
Typically, the engine power of tractors is distributed across numerous power consumers – such as the PTO, hydraulics, engine fans and air conditioning. The system detects when certain components need more power and then provides a boost with smart control.
The DP power boost concept comes into action at a standstill, but also during transport and field work. Fendt DynamicPerformance comes into use on the Fendt 200 VFP Vario when towing a crop harvester or using the sprayer on a steep slope, depending on the power consumers at the time. The 10 hp extra boost of power from the Fendt 211 VFP Vario is fantastic for companies that need a powerful narrow gauge tractor with additional power reserves.
The Fendt 200 Vario will be available for purchase from July 2020, rolling off the production line from January 2021.
