New generation tractor introduced by AGCO

A new generation tractor is being released.

AgTech and tractor provider AGCO Corp. has introduced a new generation of tractors.

The AE50 award-winning Fendt 600 Vario Series tractor offers maneuverability and a completely new generation of Fendt’s VarioDrive continuously variable transmission (CVT). The 600 Vario is an efficient, uncompromising all-arounder, perfect for any task on the farm, according to a news release.

The 600 Vario will come in four models (614 Vario, 616 Vario, 618 Vario and 620 Vario), ranging from 149 to 209 rated-engine hp. With its performance in a compact package, the 600 Vario is ideal for small to medium-sized farms, capable of tackling anything from row crop farming to loader work to transportation, according to the release.

 

“With the 600 Vario available in North America, we now have a complete line of machines perfect for any task on farms of any size,” David Soliday, Fendt’s senior marketing manager, said in the release. “The 600 Vario offers everything farmers have come to know and love about Fendt tractors, including our efficient CVT transmission, comfortable FendtONE operator station and best-in-class technology suite for those looking for a nimble, multiuse machine.”

Fendt’s 600 Vario features the all-new AGCO Power CORE50 4-cylinder, 5-liter engine. Combined with the Fendt iD low-speed concept, the 600 Vario achieves its maximum torque of 950 Nm at a low rpm of between 1,200 and 1,600, providing performance with fuel efficiency, according to the release.

The Fendt 600 also features these new technologies:

The optional VarioGrip automatic tire pressure control system adjusts tire pressure to reduce slippage and maximize ground pressure.

The operator station enables state-of-the-art smart farming features, bringing machine and agronomic data together in a customizable, updatable technology suite.

The cab features a vertically continuous panoramic window for high levels of all-around visibility.

The new generation of Fendt’s VarioDrive CVT ensures stress-free power transmission on any surface, precisely regulating power output to each wheel through continuous measurement.

Like all Fendt tractors, the Fendt 600 series offers a hydraulic reservoir separate from the transmission to eliminate any cross-contamination.
