Description and purpose
The Fendt 936 Vario is a mid-range wheeled tractor that combines time-tested technology with power and off-road potential. Thus, the full capabilities of the tractor can be revealed in the following operations: hilling, cultivating, plowing, loosening, loading and unloading, as well as dragging and towing loads. Overall, the machine is capable of treating soft and hard soils in a variety of ways. In the municipal sector, the Fendt 936 Vario tractor can be used to dig out or replace sewer pipes, clear sidewalks and roadways from debris or snowdrifts. In search and rescue activities, the model in question is suitable as a tugboat or loader of concrete structures.
Carrying out repair work
German Fendt tractors are heavy equipment with high technical characteristics, designed for long-term use. But still, this is a technique that tends to break down periodically.
Methods for repairing most faults are presented in the operating instructions in the form of photos, here are the most common of them: Reasons that the engine does not start
- Lack of fuel (you just need to top up diesel);
- Air or dirt has entered the fuel system (needs to be disassembled, washed and repaired);
- At sub-zero temperatures, the cold start system may malfunction (in this case, you should contact a service center; repairing it yourself is not recommended);
- The engine starting system is damaged (all wiring should be checked);
- The battery is discharged (you need to check the voltage and recharge it).
If the engine starts and immediately stalls, here is what could have caused this:
- Presence of air or dirt in the fuel system (this unit should be disassembled and cleaned);
- At subzero temperatures, ice or paraffin may form, which clogs the fuel system (it is necessary to clean the filters and the line completely and remove the formed air);
- The water separating filter is full (need to be cleaned).

Device Features
The machine is equipped with a powerful six-cylinder engine of Deutz's own production. The energy-efficient power plant with a displacement of 7.7 liters develops a torque of 1440 N/m, while there is still a torque reserve of 34% of the total value. Thanks to this, the power unit has excellent traction performance, which helps off-road. At the same time, the engine power reaches 330 horsepower in the basic mode, and when turbocharging is activated, the output increases to 360 horsepower. Let us highlight the main features of the power plant:
- Common Rail fuel injection, which promotes uniform distribution of the combustible mixture throughout the combustion chamber. Rational use of fuel made it possible not only to reduce fuel consumption, but to reduce the volume of harmful emissions and improve acceleration characteristics
- The power plant is capable of developing maximum torque starting from the lowest revs
- Fuel consumption is 195 g/kW/h, which is a decent indicator for this class
- Effective cooling system that prevents the motor from overheating, especially in hot weather
- Two-stage turbocharging system to increase power to 360 hp. With.
- A spacious 660-liter fuel tank allows you to travel long distances without worrying about fuel shortages or unscheduled refueling
- Pre-heater and electric starter, facilitating normal starting and uninterrupted operation of the engine in the winter season.
Transmission and chassis
The Fendt 936 Vario tractor uses a proprietary continuously variable transmission with virtual forward and reverse gears. An infinite number of speeds with short gear ratios allows you to reduce noise and vibration, and eliminate the lag, jerking or jerking when changing to the next or lower gear, as would be the case with a manual transmission. The continuously variable transmission allows you to fully unleash the potential of the engine, namely its maximum power and torque - of course, this speaks in favor of the endurance and durability of the design. As a result, the maximum speed of the tractor is 55 km/h. To further enhance the strength of the gearbox and adapt it to heavy loads, it is equipped with a dual-mode power take-off shaft capable of operating in the range of 500-1000 rpm.
The all-wheel drive chassis of the Fendt 936 Vario tractor is complemented by a locking differential, which is used in each of the wheels. This greatly improves the off-road capabilities of the car, including due to large wide-profile wheels and high ground clearance. In addition, among other body features, we note minimal body overhangs, high approach and departure angles, as well as durable engine protection. All this allows you to overcome any obstacles, including muddy ground, deep holes and ruts, as well as 30- and 40-percent climbs. In addition, the vehicle’s directional stability was improved due to the following parameters:
- Long-travel 300 mm hydropneumatic front axle suspension
- Long wheelbase
- Dynamic stabilization system
- Anti-lock braking system.
In addition to the power take-off shaft (PTO) discussed above, the transmission design and tractor's lifting capabilities are enhanced by a hydraulic system that has its own hydraulic pump. Its flow capacity is 160 liters per minute, and the hydraulic pressure reaches 200 bar. It must be admitted that these are very worthy parameters, thanks to which it became possible to install not one, but two three-point mounted devices at once - in the front and in the rear of the tractor. At the same time, the total lifting capacity of the main rear mounted implement reaches 11.8 tons, while the productivity of the front attachment is 5.6 tons. Please note that the hydraulic distributor has several positions through which you can combine the operation of both mounted implements, and thereby almost double the load capacity.
Cabin and operator comfort
The cabin of the Fendt 936 Vario tractor deserves special attention. The interior of the tractor contains elements of comfort and functionality, among which we highlight a powerful climate system unit that maintains the desired temperature in the cold or hot season. We also note the multi-layer noise and heat insulation of the interior from external noise and vibrations emanating from the rolling of the tires and the power plant. The cabin itself is made of high-strength steel sheets, joined together by spot welding. This provides unprecedented strength. The external elements of the body are covered with paint and varnish material that protects against minor damage. In addition to thermal insulation, air conditioning and heating, other comfort elements also include electrically adjustable and heated rear-view mirrors and the driver's seat. It is possible to adjust the steering column, and thereby adjust the workplace to your height and build. In addition to the exterior mirrors, to improve visibility, a wide glass area is provided, providing good visibility in all directions. Finally, let's pay attention to the ergonomic controls, levers and switches located on the massive armrest near the driver's seat. There is also a color display available as an option. It can display various readings regarding fuel consumption, oil temperature and pressure, current mileage, as well as monitoring the position and loading of attachments, and many other parameters. Thus, the driver will always be aware of the technical condition of the tractor, and if necessary, the computer will notify about the onset of the next maintenance, and the driver will be able to visit the nearest service station on time and without delay.
The service department of the German brand Fendt is equipped with everything necessary to quickly identify problems and immediately eliminate them. Modern diagnostic stands allow you to get the tractor into working condition in the shortest possible time, and thereby eliminate force majeure situations and downtime to a minimum.
Popular agricultural machinery
Despite the high level of development of many countries, agriculture continues to play a significant role in their development. Every day, more and more enterprising people seek to try themselves in this industry. And to properly organize their business, they need agricultural machinery.
Most popular cars
Agricultural machinery is a collective name for a number of machines that serve to automate and mechanize a wide range of agricultural activities. At the moment, the most common types of equipment are the following representatives:
- Seeders are means for sowing crops.
- Cultivators are units for pre-sowing tillage and cultivating land with crops.
- Combines are complexes of technical equipment capable of performing entire technological stages.
- Plows are a less popular analogue of cultivators.
- Mowers – means for harvesting crops and making silage.
But all the popularity of the presented products pales in comparison to the representative that agricultural machinery can boast of – the tractor.
Tractor popularity
The number of cars in the list is equal to the number of tractors used “in the field”. This agricultural machinery has several classifications, the main of which is the division by type of propulsion:
- Pair of wheels. The main advantage of this technique is the high speed of movement, but this is achieved at the expense of a drop in traction during operation.
- Caterpillars. The main advantage is more power and less pressure on the ground. But transporters are often required to move such equipment.
Their exceptional demand is due to the wide range of operations performed. Thanks to a large number of attachments, the tractor can perform various activities - from pre-sowing tillage to planting seeds and harvesting.
Main manufacturers
The recognized leader in tractor production in Eastern Europe is the Minsk Tractor Plant. Even those who have never dealt with agriculture are familiar with the Belarus representative. In the United States, the leading position is occupied by John Deere, and in Western Europe by the German company CLAAS.
There is no need to think about which agricultural machinery is best suited for our country. The Minsk-made Belarus tractor is excellent for the harsh climatic conditions of Russia, is distinguished by its endurance and accessible spare parts, as well as the manufacturer’s loyal pricing policy.

Reviews
- Nikolay, Leningrad region. The Fendt 936 Vario is a very productive tractor, very powerful, but too demanding on fuel quality. It will not be possible to pour regular diesel fuel into such a car, otherwise there is a high probability of contamination of the combustion chamber. Everything can lead to complete engine failure. Service, to put it mildly, is not cheap, but it's worth it. As always, you have to pay for power and versatility. The Fendt 936 Vario is a truly versatile tractor, stylish on the outside and comfortable on the inside. Effective cooling successfully combats overheating in hot weather, and the preheater and electric start make it easy to start the engine even at sub-zero temperatures. I have no complaints about the tractor in terms of power, and I am very pleased with the machine.
- Maxim, Sverdlovsk. The Fendt 936 Vario is a great tractor for everyday travel. Separately, I would like to note the very spacious and functional single-seat cabin, in which we managed to fit a whole bunch of options - these are switches, a color display, and control buttons for mounted implements. Now all the devices are at hand, and you don’t have to reach for them. Everything works as it should, although I expected a lot more from the build quality, given the prestige and reputation of the brand.
