The 200 Vario – continuously variable speeds to the top

When developing the 200 Vario, the engineers at Fendt stood before a great challenge: how to fit the Vario technology from the large tractors into a small space. The transmission was therefore especially adapted to the smaller size and special needs of specialty tractors. On the first stepless specialty tractor, the 200 Vario, the Vario transmission proves its capabilities and offers enormous benefits.

No jerking all the way to the top

A continuously variable drive enables exceptional precision in the row and at the headlands. The first stepless specialty tractor, the 200 Vario, allows you to drive at the optimum speed during all operations. Any speed is possible from 20 metres per hour to 40 km per hour. The speed can be adapted to the requirements without jerking, even on slopes. Thus the 200 Vario offers a high degree of safety even on steep slopes.

Drive economically

After it is enabled, the tractor management system (TMS, optional) regulates engine and transmission control. This increases operating comfort significantly, since drivers only need to set the desired speed, TMS controls the rest. With this system, the tractor drives at a reduced engine speed on level ground. On slopes, the load increases, so TMS automatically increases the engine speed. As soon as the load decreases again (on level ground or downhill), the quantity of fuel injected is reduced. With TMS, the tractor is therefore always operated at as low an  engine speed as possible – operations with TMS are more economical.

Special equipment included

In addition to economic benefits, the continuously variable drive also offers you a one-of-akind benefit in operating comfort. A super crawler gearbox is no longer necessary, since these gears are already integrated in the Vario drive. Furthermore, the 200 Vario offers automated operation with cruise control functions and automatic maximum output control. The turbo clutch function offers a further plus in driving comfort, since it makes stalling the engine almost impossible.
