High End Tractors Launched
Fendt has launched the new 800 Vario Gen5 series with three models in the range offering 260 to 343 horsepower. The new models feature VarioDrive, the low-speed Fendt iD concept, and a self-cleaning engine air filter for the first time. There is also a new cab with innovative lighting to increase comfort in all conditions.
The fifth generation 800 Vario includes three models: the 826, 829 and 832 with Power+, Profi and Profi+ specifications available. The range features Fendt’s DynamicPerformance (DP) added power concept which offers a boost of 23 horsepower (17 kW).
Fendt’s latest VarioDrive has been paired with an efficient 8.0 litre, 6-cylinder CORE80 engine to maximise power and reduce fuel consumption. The CORE80 engine is approved for HVO100 and other fuels according to DIN 15940 which can significantly reduce the machine’s CO2 footprint. Fendt’s iD concept saves fuel during high torque, low speed work and also on the road meaning at 40 km/h the engine works at 950 rpm, 50 km/h at 1,200 rpm, and the top speed of 60 km/h at 1,450 rpm.
The single-stage Fendt VarioDrive drivetrain with permanent, independent four-wheel drive was first introduced in 2014 with the Fendt 1000 Vario and is now available for the first time in the 800 Vario series. This enables maximum tractive power without manual shifting when switching between field and road. It also reduces the turning circle of the 800. Through a pull-in turn effect, the independently driven front axle actively pulls the machine into the turn without torsion.
Like most Fendts the 800 has a low operating weight of 9.9 tonnes but can reach a maximum of 17.5 tonnes with the ability to travel at 40 and 50 km/h with payload of 7.6 tonnes. This increases the options for implements and offers flexible ballasting.
Profi and Profi+ models provide upto six hydraulic control units at the rear with the option of upto two control units at the front. Power+ models offer a maximum of 4 control units in the rear and one at the front, or five control units at the rear. Customers can also choose between three hydraulic pumps: 165 l/min, 220 l/min and for consumers with varying oil quantity and pressure requirements, and a double pump system with a maximum flow capacity of 385 l/min (165 + 220 l/min) is also available. At the rear, there are optional FFC flat-sealing couplings for control units and the Power Beyond connection to prevent dirt ingress into the system and oil leakages.
The 800 Vario has a top speed of 60 km/h, and features a chassis and safety concept, with an optional exhaust brake in conjunction with the hydraulic auxiliary brake. Fendt’s self-centring Reaction Steering, Stability Control (FSC) and Trailer Brake Assistant (TBA) are all designed to improve operator safety. When the tractor is attached to a sprayer or a pneumatically braked trailer the TBA helps to prevent jack-knifing or drifting, especially on undulating land.
A new cab with LED spotlights is available in two equipment variants: Vision and UltraVision. In both variants, eight or 12 spotlights are installed in the cab roof. In the UltraVision variant, the tractor illuminates the area with 4,400 lumens per spotlight, and the spotlights are dimmable in 5 stages. In addition, an optional Fendt GroundVision drawbar light illuminates the area directly behind the machine to make operation and coupling of implements easier in the dark.
The 800 Vario features Fendt’s Concentric Air System (CAS) ventilation and cooling system, and the fan can be optionally equipped with a reverse function. This can also be specified with a self-cleaning air filter which includes automatic control to save operator time.
All models of the 800 feature the latest FendtONE workstation with armrest and up to three display areas in the Profi and Profi+ models. For winter use there is also an optional, heated laminated safety glass (LSG) for the front window to improve visibility. The new, electrically adjustable “Super Comfort Seat Titanium Leather” and has a memory function and the cab also features Apple CarPlay to enable phones and mobile devices to be operated using the workstation.
The 800 Vario series offers a variety of options for track width and tyres along with the option of Fendt’s on-board air VarioGrip system. A choice of flange or a stub axis (3.0 m or 2.50 m) are available with both approved for 60 km/h operation.
The Fendt 800 Vario Gen5 can be ordered from Autumn 2025.
