At Bauma, the world's leading trade fair for construction machinery and construction vehicles in Munich, Fendt presents the seventh generation of the Fendt 700 Vario series. This completely new ground up design expands the power spectrum to up to 300 hp for versatile applications and also with special equipment. With the new engine, the low unladen weight and the optional speed of up to 60 km/h, this 700 becomes an all-rounder in construction and forestry applications. Technical innovations from the large tractors, such as the VarioDrive transmission or the innovative cooling concept, lead to ground-breaking manoeuvrability in this class.

In its seventh generation, the new range with five models (Fendt 720 Vario, 722 Vario, 724 Vario, 726 Vario and Fendt 728 Vario) occupies the power range from 203 to 283 hp (147 - 206 kW) (ECE R120). The Fendt DynamicPerformance (DP) extra power concept releases up to 20 hp of extra power in the Fendt 728 Vario DP via a demand-dependent control system precisely when it is needed. The top model thus achieves a maximum performance of up to 303 hp. The extra power concept is not tied to driving speed or special tasks. It functions purely dynamically, even when PTO work is carried out at a standstill.

With speeds of up to 60 km/h, the 700 is perfectly equipped for transport, while the optional front loader enables loading operations. The all-rounder is also at home in winter service or when preparing forest roads.

Designed to meet applications in various areas, the Fendt 700 Vario was developed with a low power-to-weight ratio, with a high performance range, flexibility and the careful use of resources and the environment in mind. The 6-cylinder AGCO Power engine CORE75 with 7.5 litre capacity has been completely redesigned for the power spectrum. 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 the required exhaust emission standards in all regions worldwide. In Europe, this is the Stage V exhaust emission standard. In addition, maintenance-free hydraulic tappets are used. The single-stage Fendt VarioDrive transmission is made up of the engine and the matching Vario transmission.

The innovative low-speed Fendt iD concept is already familiar from the larger tractors. All components, such as the engine, transmission, hydraulics and cooling system, were designed according to the so-called "high torque - low engine speed" principle. In this way, the Fendt 700 Vario achieves high torque even at low engine speeds and saves fuel. The rated engine speed is only 1,700 rpm. The new Fendt 726 and 728 Vario reach a top speed of up to 60 km/h at just 1,450 rpm. The maximum torque of 1,450 Nm on the top model Fendt 728 Vario is achieved at just 1,300 rpm and ensures high tractive power and acceleration strength with minimal specific fuel consumption.

Numerous tyre options are available for the Fendt 700 Vario. The Fendt 726 and 728 Vario models are equipped with large 650/85R38 tyres (2,050 mm diameter) as standard. For special use in construction or forestry, special tyres with an outer width of 2.50 m are possible.

The optional top speed of up to 60 km/h at only 1,450 rpm and a comprehensive chassis and safety concept make the Fendt 700 Vario a true transport talent. This includes a dual-circuit brake system, Fendt Reaction Steering, as well as a brake light and deceleration assistant and Fendt Stability Control (FSC). FSC reduces side lean at speeds above 25 km/h and minimises roll. This increases safety in curves as well as driving comfort.

For the first time, there are six different seat configurations for the Fendt 700 Vario. A new premium seat with intuitive operation via the terminal is available as an option. The driver adjusts the seat height and position as well as the backrest angle electrically via a lever on the side of the seat. When changing out drivers, they can create personalised seat profiles and activate them with one click.

The comfort functions consist of:

- Multi-stage seat climate control;

- Multi-stage seat heating;

- Four-way lumbar support;

- Adjustable side bolsters;

- Massage functions;

- Memory function for different users.

The premium seat will be available from the end of 2023.

Up to 220 l/minute and up to five connections at the rear and up to two at the front characterise the high-performance hydraulics of the Fendt 700 Vario.

The new draft control for the rear linkage shifts the weight of the implement proportionally to the rear axle of the tractor, thus increasing traction and improving the work result, e.g., during cultivation.

The Fendt 700 Vario can be ordered now. Delivery of the first machines will begin in the first quarter of 2023.
