For the Agritechnica 2009, Fendt presents five new models in the 800 Vario range from 200 to 280 hp. The completely new vehicle concept unites the components of the most-sold tractor model in 2008, the 820 Vario, with the power and technology of the award-winning Fendt 900 Vario tractor range. Fendt sets new standards with the x5 comfort cab, completely new electronics and controls, as well as the first AdBlue engine technology on the market that complies with emissions standard Stage 3b/Tier 4 interim.

Completely new vehicle concept

With the new 800 Vario, Fendt presents a completely newly developed elec-tronics concept, the Fendt Variotronic. The new terminal, available in two different versions, features a user-friendly interface with a flat menu hierarchy and practical touch technology. For the first time tractor operation, ISO bus implement control, VarioGuide automatic steering system and VarioDoc documentation have been consolidated in one terminal and are operated using the same operating logic.

Efficiency further optimised

The entire vehicle concept of the new 800 Vario is designed for uncompro-mising efficiency and maximum performance. The experience gathered from 100,000 Vario transmissions has made it possible to further improve it through the latest engine technology and a completely newly developed drive train and thus achieve the best possible efficiency. In particular, the newly developed, wet multi-disc brake in the rear axle, which only rotates at the same speed as the wheel and permits outstanding deceleration values while minimising losses. That ensures high efficiency along with reduced fuel con-sumption, even at higher speeds.

The well-known Vario advantages, the hydraulics with modern load-sensing pump and a delivery capacity of up to 193 litres per minute, also guarantee low fuel consumption. Just like the 1000E economy PTO, they permit re-duced engine speeds and thus lower fuel consumption.
 
Leading edge engine technology   

The six-cylinder Deutz engine with 2000-bar common rail high-pressure in-jection system already complies with emissions standard Stage 3b/Tier 4 in-terim one year before required by law. Despite reduced nitrous oxide and par-ticulate matter emissions, which are achieved through the integrated AdBlue technology, fuel consumption as well as CO2 emissions have been reduced by five percent. The emissions after-treatment with “AdBlue” urea solution takes place after the combustion process, which guarantees very high efficiency and performance of the engine. In addition to precise injection, the exceptional dynamic behaviour of the Deutz engine with a 6.06 litre cubic capacity is a result of the new turbocharger with electronically controlled wastegate.

The consumption of “AdBlue” is almost five percent of the diesel consump-tion and therefore amounts to less than two percent of the overall fuel costs. “Adblue ”is available all over Western Europe and worldwide through AGCO Parts.

The all-rounder among the high-horsepower tractors

The new 800 Vario not only stands for high performance and high payloads, but also for exceptional versatility. It has no trouble mastering heavy-duty field and transport work whilst also offering optimal manoeuvrability. The 800 Vario, with a maximum speed of 60 km/h, which it already attains at a fuel-saving 1700 rpm, outstanding driving comfort and optimum driving safety, is especially convincing for transport work. The new front axle sus-pension concept features the Fendt Stability Control (FSC), which guarantees stability when negotiating curves. The robust cast half frame, which enables a permissible overall weight of up to 16 tonnes, is the basis for the high stability of the chassis and high payload reserves. At the same time, the maintenance-free braking system, comprising two integral multi-disc brakes at the rear, and a disc brake on the cardan shaft at the front, provides driving safety as well as exceptional deceleration. The broad application range of the 800 Vario is ex-panded through the versatile mounting areas, powerful working hydraulics, comprehensive tyre and ballasting concept as well as the optionally available reversing driver station. 

Driving comfort redefined

The x5 cab from Fendt, tried and tested in the 900 Vario range, makes perfect working conditions reality. Exceptional all-round visibility with low sight lines as well as tinted front and side windows guarantee relaxed working con-ditions. Automatic air-conditioning, three-point cab suspension and a com-pletely new electronics and operating concept, create a pleasant driving envi-ronment. The overall suspension concept is further optimised through stan-dard front axle suspension, an optional pneumatic cab suspension as well as seat suspension, which is optionally available with active suspension.
