Fendt upgrades 700 Vario series

Written by 

The Fendt 700 Vario (145-240hp) has undergone major upgrades, the distributor reports. 

These include a new, improved engine that can drive implements at lower engine speed for unrivalled efficiency, new wipers with a 300 degree wiping field for greater visibility, and LED headlights with levelling.

The 6.06L 6-cylinder engine with common rail and SCR technology results in fuel efficient tractors that comply with the Tier 4 Final emissions standards using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and a coated soot filter (CSF).   

A new 4-speed (540/540E/1000/1000E) PTO system also gives the operator a wider choice to ensure economical operation.

Further upgrades to the 700 series include a dual-circuit braking system whereby drivers only need operate one brake pedal which is 100% compressed air-based. The single-wheel brake found in previous models, which offers high maneuverability, is still available as an option. 

The 700 Series also offers a larger hydraulic pump as an option to meet extra demand for high oil flows. 

The driver is not forgotten either, with a new front wiper with a large wipe angle of 300 degrees, a new steering column switch and a spray nozzle integrated into the wiper arm. These improvements offer a wide, unobstructed view to the wheel arches and the front mounting area.

New optional LED lights ensure good visibility dipped and main beams have the latest Bi-LED lamps with headlamp leveling; the work lights and corner lights are also LED. 

Other features: a new Varioterminal 10.4-B with a new terminal holder, new touch technology and an LCD display with LED backlight; VarioGuide automatic steering, VarioDoc documentation, Isobus implement control, camera functions and a greater Bluetooth range.
